Euclid returns to maths lessons
Knowing how a mathematical theory developed improves a pupil's understanding of it. This is the conclusion of Dutch researcher Iris van Gulik, who investigated how the history of mathematics can help pupils to learn this subject. view more (2005-12-20)
Earth's strongest winds wouldn't even be a breeze on these planets
Earth's inhabitants are used to temperatures that vary, sometimes greatly, between day and night. New measurements for three planets outside our solar system indicate their temperatures remain fairly constant - and blazing hot - from day to night, even though it is likely one side of each planet always faces its sun and the other is in permanent... view more...

Follow Rosetta's final Earth boost
ESA's comet chaser Rosetta will swing by Earth for the last time on 13 November to pick up energy and begin the final leg of its 10-year journey to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. ESA's European Space Operations Centre will host a media briefing on that day. view more (2009-11-05)
Rocks could reveal secrets of life on Earth - and Mars
A new UK project could help detect evidence for life on Mars, as well as improve our understanding of how it evolved on Earth. The aim is to develop a technique that can identify biomolecules in water that have been trapped in rocks for millions to billions of years. As well as analysing samples from Earth, the proposed technique could be used... view more... (2003-10-09)
Preparing for the Venus Express
The European Space Agency is planning its first mission to unveil the mysteries of Earth`s cloud-shrouded sister planet, Venus. On Wednesday 10 April, Professor Fred Taylor (University of Oxford) will be explaining to the UK National Astronomy Meeting why European scientists are hoping to be on board the Venus Express in 2005. Venus, the Earth`s... view more... (2002-04-03)
Boston university researchers develop new model of ice volume change based on Earth's orbit
Through dated geological records scientists have known for decades that variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun — subtle changes in the distance between the two — control ice ages. view more (2006-06-23)
Physicists and engineers search for new dimension
The universe as we currently know it is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, but researchers in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech are exploring the possibility of an extra dimension. view more (2008-03-11)
FSU researchers determine a critical factor in workings of proteins
Scientists know that a better understanding of how proteins bond could lead to more effective treatments for genetic disorders and other life-threatening conditions. view more (2007-02-15)
New theory for mass extinctions
A new theory on just what causes Earth's worst mass extinctions may help settle the endless scientific dust-up on the matter. view more (2006-10-25)
Star on a Hubble diet
How heavy can a star be? This conundrum has haunted astronomers for decades. Theory indicates that there should be an upper stellar mass limit somewhere between 120 and 300 solar masses. Even though heavy stars are very bright, measurements of their masses can be complicated. view more (2006-12-12)
Mars With Ice, Shaken, Not Stirred
Mars, like Earth, is a climate-fickle water planet. The main difference, of course, is that water on the frigid Red Planet is rarely liquid, preferring to spend almost all of its time traveling the world as a gas or churning up the surface as ice. view more (2007-10-26)
FSU geochemist challenges key theory regarding Earth's formation
Working with colleagues from NASA, a Florida State University researcher has published a paper that calls into question three decades of conventional wisdom regarding some of the physical processes that helped shape the Earth as we know it today. view more (2008-05-01)
CERN scientists predict supernova
A team of theoretical physicists working at CERN and the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel has developed a theory to account for the mysterious gamma ray bursts that come from the depths of the Universe. According to their ideas, gamma ray bursts are linked to supernovae, the cataclysmic explosions of massive stars at the end of their... view more... (2003-04-15)
Lifeboatman finds bronze age rapier on beach
A 3,500 year old bronze-age rapier has been found by a lifeboat coxswain, who has handed it in to Newcastle University Museum of Antiquities, where it is temporarily on display before undergoinmg conservation work. The coxswain was walking along the beach during an unusually low spring tide at the seaside resort/fishing village of Amble in... view more... (1999-05-17)
MIT finds young planets stay hotter longer
Hot, young planets may be easier to spot because they stay that way longer than astronomers have thought, according to new work by MIT planetary scientist Linda Elkins-Tanton. view more (2008-10-16)
Global Earth Day broadcast to feature South Pole
Air quality research and ozone monitoring at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole will be showcased as part of a global Earth Day telecast scheduled for April 20, 2007, on various ABC-television's news programs. view more (2007-04-20)
Superstrings could add gravitational cacophony to universe's chorus
Albert Einstein theorized long ago that moving matter would warp the fabric of four-dimensional space-time, sending out ripples of gravity called gravitational waves. No one has observed such a phenomenon so far, but University of Washington researchers believe it is possible to detect such waves coming from strange wispy structures called cosmic... view more...

Emory Researcher Finds Crayfish Fossils Provide Missing Evolutionary Link
Crayfish body fossils and burrows discovered in Victoria, Australia, have provided the first physical evidence that crayfish existed on the continent as far back as the Mesozoic Era, says Emory University paleontologist Anthony Martin, who headed up a study on the finds. view more (2008-02-07)
Autistic children could learn through stereotypes
Autistic children have a capacity to understand other people through stereotypes, say scientists at UCL (University College London). view more (2007-06-19)
Successes in frozen ovarian tissue technology may offer hope to women being treated for cancer
Berlin, Germany: Doctors in Denmark have succeeded in producing a two-cell embryo after ovarian tissue was removed, frozen, and then thawed and replaced two years later. It is believed that this is the first time a European group has succeeded in creating an embryo in this way. Dr Claus Yding Andersen told the 20th annual conference of the... view more...
