The most obvious being the exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation, which in itself is a risk factor for breast cancer. X-ray mammography can also give false positive and negative results. In the quest for a safer, more accurate alternative, Dutch researchers have provided proof of concept that photoacoustic imaging can be used to detect and visualize breast tumors. <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/photoacoustic-imaging-breast-cancer/22490/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/" style="float: left; ">AUTOMOTIVE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/tank-diesel-distance-world-record/22488/">World record 1,626 miles on one tank of diesel</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>23:46 May 9, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/tank-diesel-distance-world-record/22488/pictures">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/tank-diesel-distance-world-record/22488/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/passat_record.jpg" title="A Loudoun County, Virginia Sheriff’s Deputy verifies the car’s mileage before removing..." alt="A Loudoun County, Virginia Sheriff’s Deputy verifies the car’s mileage before removing..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Apparently not happy with collecting over 40 world driving fuel economy records, the husband and wife team of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/go/4204/" target="_blank">John and Helen Taylor</a> – also known as “the world’s most fuel efficient couple” – have been back on the road to claim the world record for the longest distance traveled on a single tank of fuel.

Highlight Hunter helps save some time in the editing chair by letting users bookmark highlights as they are recorded, so the application can automatically hunt them down when the time comes to import them to a computer. <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/highlight-hunter/22474/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/personalcomputing/" style="float: left; ">PERSONAL COMPUTING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/soundwave-gesture-recognition/22471/">SoundWave uses Doppler Effect to bring Kinect-like gesture recognition to PCs</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>22:59 May 8, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/soundwave-gesture-recognition/22471/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/soundwave-gesture-recognition/22471/pictures">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/soundwave-gesture-recognition/22471/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/soundwave.jpg" title="SoundWave detects motion inputs by detecting the frequency shift in tones emitted from the..." alt="SoundWave detects motion inputs by detecting the frequency shift in tones emitted from the..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> Microsoft’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/kinect/" target="_blank">Kinect</a> peripheral senses motion inputs using a combination of a depth sensor, RGB camera and a multi-array microphone.

So spoilt it can make uncovering new music to match our tastes or finding a track when we don’t know the artist or song title, a hit and miss affair.

The combustion process in jet and other industrial engines can generate sound waves so powerful they can cause intense pulsations that can shake the engine and accelerate mechanical failure. Using a sponge-like material, researchers at the University of Alabama have managed to significantly quiet combustion at the source, providing the potential to make work environments safer, extend the life of valuable equipment, and maybe let those living near an airport sleep a little easier. <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/noise-sponge/22411/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details "> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/scienceandeducation/" style="float: left; ">SCIENCE AND EDUCATION</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/juice-space-mission/22395/">ESA juices up for mission to Jupiter’s icy moons</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>00:25 May 3, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/juice-space-mission/22395/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120510165047/http://www.gizmag.com/juice-space-mission/22395/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120510165047im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/jupiter_icy_moons_explorer.jpg" title="Artist's impression of the Jupiter Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) on its mission to study Jupi..." alt="Artist's impression of the Jupiter Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) on its mission to study Jupi..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p> The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that Jupiter’s icy moons will be the focus of its next Large science mission.
