Within a few months you'll be downloading web graphics hundreds of times faster than you do now. Since images are real bandwidth hogs, this means web pages will download faster, easing the major complaint that most of us have about the web -- it can be soooo SLOW.
Scientists will release first results from the Mars Odyssey mission at a March 1 news conference. You can watch it live, with UA team members, at noon in Kuiper Space Sciences Room 312.
A group of UA engineering students has designed and built a radio-controlled airplane to fly at a national competition in April. The UA airplane isn't the usual off-the-shelf hobby plane that flies at radio control club fields. That's because it has to do a lot more than just get off the ground and stay in the air.
Retailing experts will look at new ways to reach and sustain new customers through marketing and technology innovations.
Just because your search engine led you to a site, the authors of a new study say don't automatically assume that what's on a Web page is accurate or up-to-date, especially if it's about your health.
