Early sound recordings by telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell and others that had been packed way at the Smithsonian Institution for more than a century were played publicly for the first time Tuesday using new technology. The recordings revealed a portion of Hamlet's Soliloquy, a trill of the tongue and someone reciting numbers starting with 1-2-3. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)
CLIMATE SHOCK: UC-Berkeley Scientist, Dr. John Harte, Puts the World on Notice
Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:40:15 +0200 Dr. John Harte is based at the University of California-Berkeley Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management. With a PhD in physics, his research encompasses the most serious biochemical and climate-ecosystem feedback processes of global warming and theoretical ecology. He has been at the forefront, for decades, of some of the most important studies pertaining to the biological impacts – particularly in alpine environments – of climate change, as well as humanity’s role in the disruption of critical ecosystems.I have had the privilege of working twice with Dr. ...

Powerful business interests are betting that 3-D will be the big new thing in entertainment, despite an important obstacle: though improved over yesteryear’s 3-D, today’s technology still gives many people headaches. Optometrists estimate that 10 percent to 30 percent of people have problems with 3-D viewing, either because it makes them uncomfortable, or because they simply can’t perceive depth because of deficient vision. In the worst cases, 3-D makes people sick. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:30:16 +0100 (AP) - University of California at Berkeley Professor Marty Banks gestures beside the birefringent lens display Thursday, July 8, 2010, in Berkeley, Calif. Powerful business interests are betting that 3-D will be the big new thing in entertainment, despite an important obstacle: though improved over yesteryear’s 3-D, today’s technology still gives many people headaches. Optometrists estimate that 10 percent to 30 percent of people have problems with 3-D viewing, either because it makes them uncomfortable, or because they simply can’t perceive depth because of deficient vision. In the worst cases, 3-D makes people sick. ’The bottom line is you have to work against this natural coupling, and that causes at least part of the discomfort and fatigue that people are experiencing,’ says Martin Banks, a professor of optometry and vision science at the University of California at Berkeley. Banks is developing new technology to ease eye strain in 3-D glasses. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
