Scientists Discover New Planet Orbiting Dangerously Close to Giant Star
A team of astronomers from Penn State and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland has discovered a new planet that is closely orbiting a red-giant star, HD 102272, which is much older than our own Sun. view more (2008-11-19)
Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and Université d'Aix-Marseille) and Lon Hood (University... view more...

Look out for giant triangles in space
THE search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) could be taking the wrong approach. Instead of listening for alien radiobroadcasts, a better strategy maybe to look for giant structures placed in orbit around nearby stars by alien civilisations. view more (2005-04-06)
Reading the planetary tea leaves
An international team of astronomers is one step closer to answering the question, "Will the world end with a bang or a whimper?" view more (2007-09-24)
Study of 2004 tsunami forces rethinking of giant earthquake theory
The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of Dec. 26, 2004, was one of the worst natural disasters in history, largely because of the devastating tsunami that followed. view more (2006-03-06)
Icy Jupiter Moon Throws a Curve Ball at Formation Theories
Scientists studying data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft have found that Jupiter's moon Amalthea is a pile of icy rubble less dense than water. Scientists expected moons closer to the planet to be rocky and not icy. The finding shakes up long-held theories of how moons form around giant planets. view more (2005-06-01)
Surf not up for Palaeozoic creatures - new model reveals ancient sea was a giant lake
The ancient sea was more like a giant salty lake than a rolling ocean, report scientists from Imperial College London in the May edition of the Journal of the Geological Society. A new computer model that simulates how tides in North West Europe would have behaved 300 million years ago shows a sea with so little movement that it was unlike any on... view more... (2005-05-09)
Rapid-born planets present 'baby picture' of our early solar system
Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, a team of astronomers led by the University of Rochester has detected gaps ringing the dusty disks around two very young stars, which suggests that gas-giant planets have formed there. view more (2005-09-12)
NASA Scientists Pioneer Method for Making Giant Lunar Telescopes
Scientists working at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., have concocted an innovative recipe for giant telescope mirrors on the Moon. To make a mirror that dwarfs anything on Earth, just take a little bit of carbon, throw in some epoxy, and add lots of lunar dust. view more (2008-06-05)
Worldwide study looks to find causes of type 1 diabetes
Scientists are casting a wide, tightly woven net with the goal of catching the causes of type 1diabetes. view more (2006-02-15)

Megatsunamis @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
The modern world appears secure in its knowledge of hazards. However tsunamis today are smaller and less frequent than they were in prehistory. view more (2002-08-17)
Ability to capture large prey may be origin of army ants' cooperative behavior
Animal behaviorist Sean O'Donnell was having an afternoon cup of coffee when a giant earthworm exploded out of the leaf litter covering the jungle floor in an Ecuadorean nature preserve. The worm, later measured at nearly 16 inches long, was pursued by a column of hundreds of raiding army ants that quickly paralyzed or killed it. view more (2005-12-15)
News from space for osteoporosis patients on earth: resistance is not futile
Results of a space experiment published online in The FASEB Journal have yielded a giant leap for science that could translate into an important step for mankind in the ongoing battle against osteoporosis. view more (2009-03-30)
Planet Orbiting a Giant Red Star Discovered with Hobby-Eberly Telescope
A planet orbiting a giant red star has been discovered by an astronomy team led by Penn State's Alex Wolszczan, who in 1992 discovered the first planets ever found outside our solar system. view more (2007-08-03)
US computing giant take record level of interns from University of Kent
Silicon Valley computing giant Sun Microsystems have announced plans to offer a record number of their intern placements to students from the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC). The intern scheme was established in 2000 and initially designed to accommodate six people. The scheme was developed for twenty people in 2001 and will see further... view more... (2002-03-13)
Acidification of the sea hampers reproduction of marine species
By absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and from the human use of fossil fuels, the world's seas function as a giant buffer for the Earth's life support system. view more (2008-07-30)
Chandra data reveal rapidly whirling black holes
A new study using results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provides one of the best pieces of evidence yet that many supermassive black holes are spinning extremely rapidly. The whirling of these giant black holes drives powerful jets that pump huge amounts of energy into their environment and affects galaxy growth. view more (2008-01-11)
Hubble sees magnetic monster in erupting galaxy
The Hubble Space Telescope has found the answer to a long-standing puzzle by resolving giant but delicate filaments shaped by a strong magnetic field around the active galaxy NGC 1275. It is the most striking example of the influence of these immense tentacles of extragalactic magnetic fields, say researchers. view more (2008-08-21)
Unexpected cooling effect in Saturn's upper atmosphere
UK researchers from University College London (UCL), along with colleagues from Boston University, have found that the hotter than expected temperature of Saturn's upper atmosphere - and that of the other giant planets - is not due to the same mechanism that heats the atmosphere around the Earth's Northern Lights. view more (2007-01-29)
