Star crust 10 billion times stronger than steel, IU physicist finds
Research by a theoretical physicist at Indiana University shows that the crusts of neutron stars are 10 billion times stronger than steel or any other of the earth's strongest metal alloys. view more (2009-05-07)
Next Stop: The Fourth Dimension
How did the universe come to be? What is it made of? What is mass? Can science prove that there are other dimensions? view more (2008-09-04)
Scientists create metal that pumps liquid uphill
In nature, trees pull vast amounts of water from their roots up to their leaves hundreds of feet above the ground through capillary action, but now scientists at the University of Rochester have created a simple slab of metal that lifts liquid using the same principle-but does so at a speed that would make nature envious. view more (2009-06-03)
New biochip helps study living cells, may speed drug development
Purdue University researchers have developed a biochip that measures the electrical activities of cells and is capable of obtaining 60 times more data in just one reading than is possible with current technology. view more (2006-10-23)
RIT study predicts how fast a black hole can be booted from a galaxy
Scientists have discovered for the first time just how fast a supermassive black hole can be thrown from a galaxy when it merges with another black hole. The crucial factor in producing large "kicks" turns out to be the spin that the black holes carry prior to the merger. view more (2007-05-31)
UK researchers aim to create black holes in the lab
Physicists in the UK are planning pioneering experiments to create tiny, artificial black holes in the laboratory which will be able to suck in light or sound waves. The researchers hope that the desk-top black holes will provide important information about the fundamental behaviour of matter and energy and help to resolve some of the apparent... view more...

Jupiter's rocky core bigger and icier, model predicts
Jupiter has a rocky core that is more than twice as large as previously thought, according to computer calculations by a University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist who simulated conditions inside the planet on the scale of individual hydrogen and helium atoms. view more (2008-11-26)
Dusty old star offers window to our future, astronomers report
Astronomers have glimpsed dusty debris around an essentially dead star where gravity and radiation should have long ago removed any sign of dust - a discovery that may provide insights into our own solar system's eventual demise several billion years from now. view more (2005-09-09)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. view more (2008-11-06)
Environmental science flies higher and wider
A new and highly modified survey aircraft is the latest tool to help study our environment from the skies. The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is to lease a Dornier 228 to replace the Piper Navajo Chieftain that has given valiant service in earth observation for the past 16 years. Because the new aeroplane can fly further and carry... view more... (2000-07-25)
Fruit flies aboard space shuttle subjects of UCF, UC Davis study on immunity and space
Fruit flies aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery will help University of Central Florida and University of California, Davis, biologists learn more about how prolonged stays in space could affect human immune systems. view more (2006-06-28)
Astronomers discover link between supermassive black holes and galaxy formation
A pair of astronomers from Texas and Germany have used a telescope at The University of Texas at Austin's McDonald Observatory together with Hubble Space Telescope and many other telescopes around the world to uncover new evidence that the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe and the supermassive black holes at their hearts grew together... view more...

GOCE Earth Explorer satellite to look at the Earth's surface and core
The European Space Agency is about to launch the most sophisticated mission ever to investigate the Earth's gravitational field and to map the reference shape of our planet - the geoid - with unprecedented resolution and accuracy. view more (2008-08-25)
New definition could further limit habitable zones around distant suns
As astronomers gaze toward nearby planetary systems in search of life, they are focusing their attention on each system's habitable zone, where heat radiated from the star is just right to keep a planet's water in liquid form. view more (2009-06-11)
Galaxies gone wild!
Interacting galaxies are found throughout the Universe, sometimes as dramatic collisions that trigger bursts of star formation, on other occasions as stealthy mergers that result in new galaxies. view more (2008-04-24)
HUMAN RIGHTS - ANGOLA'S SUFFERING BEHIND A PRETENCE OF NORMALITY (p 2093)
The Angolan government must commit to rebuilding the country's health-care infrastructure for its population that has been war-torn for a quarter of a century and facing increasing medical needs, concludes a human rights article in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Nathan Ford and colleagues from Me'decins Sans Frontie'res (MSF) report on the... view more... (2000-12-13)
Unified physics theory explains animals' running, flying and swimming
A single unifying physics theory can essentially describe how animals of every ilk, from flying insects to fish, get around, researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Pennsylvania State University have found. The team reports that all animals bear the same stamp of physics in their design. view more (2005-12-30)

Sunflowers can produce a substance which prevents the AIDS pathogen HIV from reproducing, at least in cell cultures. view more (2006-01-09)
European experiment hardware reaches the International Space Station
Preparations for the Spanish Soyuz mission on the International Space Station (ISS) in October took another step forward with the docking of an unmanned Progress M1-10 spacecraft with the International Space Station, on 11 June at 13:17 Central European Time. The Progress M1-10 on mission number 11P to the ISS was successfully launched into... view more... (2003-06-16)
Delft students test scale for in space
Winning Delft team to participate in ESA research-flight. Delft students test scale for in space On 12 and 13 September, four students of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft will test the instruments they designed for measuring mass during periods of weightlessness. The tests will be conducted in a special aeroplane. The plane will carry out a... view more... (2002-09-06)
