#It is illegal to rip music off a CD or put DVDS onto hard drives, UK High court says The ruling had previously been in place,
meaning that copyright holders for music and films could be in for huge compensation payouts for the illegal ripping.
The record industry claims that such ripping takes as much as £58 million from musicians, which they should receive back in compensation.
The ruling doesn just stop people from taking music or films off discs so that they can be watched on portably entertainment gadgets like ipods or ipads.
It also means that anyone taking music for future study like teachers using videos in a class,
or researchers looking at films would be liable to pay out. The Government had previously let such situations continue by introducing exemptions to let people rip media for personal use.
But representatives of the music industry including Basca, the Musicians'Union, and UK Music hallenged those exemptions and had rejected them by the High court.
When it was previously illegal to rip music prosecutions and claims were very rare, and the industry usually ignored those simply ripping music for their own personal and private use

This electron microscope image shows tiny nanoparticles of bismuth ferrite embedded in a polymer film. The film enhances the unique electric and magnetic properties of bismuth ferrite and preserves these properties even when bent.
The researchers describe the film in a paper published in Applied Physics Letters AIP Publishing.
Flexible electronics have been hard to manufacture because many materials with useful electronic properties tend to be rigid.
The solution was dried in a series of steps at increasing temperatures to produce a thin flexible film.
When the researchers tested the electric and magnetic properties of the film they found that their new material not only preserved
Furthermore the improved properties remained even as the film was curved into a cylindrical shape. Bulk bismuth ferrite has crucial problems for some applications such as a high leakage current

and the thin film was transferred to a flexible plastic support, which is much less expensive than a traditional solar panel.
The thin film produced like this was tested and found to be superior in efficiency to films made with the same material

#High-temperature superconductivity in atomically thin films: A route to developing ultimate superconducting nanodevices A research group at Tohoku University has succeeded in fabricating an atomically thin,

that can be fabricated into a thin film. The research team at Tohoku University turned its attention to iron selenide (Fese),
. While the Tc of bulk Fese is only 8 K(-265°C a signature of higher-Tc superconductivity has been suggested in ultrathin film

which is direct evidence of the emergence of superconductivity in the films. The researchers found that the Tc estimated from the gap-closing in a monolayer film is surprisingly high (above 60 K),
While multilayer films do not show superconductivity in the as-grown state the researchers have discovered a novel method to deposit alkali atoms onto the films
and thereby control the electron density in the film. By employing this method, the researchers have succeeded in converting non-superconducting multilayer Fese films into high-Tc superconductors with Tc as high as 50 K. The present result gives a great impact to both the basic
and applied researches in superconductors. The researchers have shown clearly how the superconductivity is emerged, enhanced and controlled in atomically thin Fese films.
While the Tc achieved in this study (50-60 K) is still lower than that of the cuprate high-Tc superconductors (highest Tc?
135 K) which caused the"high-Tc fever"in the world 30 years ago, it obviously exceeds the record of other"high-Tc superconductors"such as fullerene (C60) superconductors (Tc 33 K) and Mgb2 (Tc 39k),
