Report: Fewer leaving Neb. for other states

Nebraska lost more residents to other states than it gained from them in 2008, continuing a 13-year-long trend, but the rate of departure slowed significantly, researchers reported.

Each emitter works a bit like an tiny particle accelerator: The anode of the emitter charges the nanoparticles, which are then accelerated and then shot out a tube by a strong magnetic field generated by a stack of microchip-like components.

Though my farm-raised father insists differently, there's something a bit spooky about cows standing in a field. They're just a bit too placid; I've always suspected that those limpid eyes hide strange secrets.

Along with the keyboard, there's one major advantage the Palm Pre has over the iPhone, and that's the fancy Touchstone wireless charger. Throw the Pre at the desktop pebble and it sticks, via magnetic magic, and charges without a plug.

The Earth's magnetic field is quite a mystery. How is it generated? How does it remain so stable? We have known of the Earth's magnetic field for hundreds of years and the humble compass has been telling us the direction of magnetic North Pole since the 12th Century.
