Measuring water from space
Observations from satellites now allow scientists to monitor changes to water levels in the sea, in rivers and lakes, in ice sheets and even under the ground. As the climate changes, this information will be crucial for monitoring its effects and predicting future impacts in different regions. view more (2008-11-13)
Raindrops go ballistic in research on soil erosion
Raindrops can wreak havoc on Earth. They just do it on a microscopic scale. At that scale, raindrops hitting bare ground have nearly the force of a hammer hitting a mound of dirt. view more (2007-01-19)
Monster galaxy pileup sighted
Four galaxies are slamming into each other and kicking up billions of stars in one of the largest cosmic smash-ups ever observed. view more (2007-08-07)
Exploring the standard model of physics without the high-energy collider
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US, have performed sophisticated laser measurements to detect the subtle effects of one of nature's most elusive forces - the "weak interaction". view more (2009-08-11)
Earth's Core is a Recycling Product
The planets of the solar system, including the Earth, formed about four and a half billion years ago from a swirling disk of gas and dust that was left over from the newly formed Sun. However, we do not understand, why the Earth ended up being different from other Earth-like or «terrestrial» planets and how the earliest features, like the metallic... view more... (2004-02-04)
Study: Bath time falls injure thousands of children annually
A new national study finds kids are being hurt in bathtubs and showers at a surprising rate. view more (2009-07-13)
Physics World Digest: March 2002 edition
Special issue: women in physics When the astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell was a physics student at Glasgow in the 1960s, she was greeted by a barrage of wolf whistles and foot stamping every time she walked into the lecture theatre. Bell Burnell was, quite simply, the only woman in a class of 50 students. Although it is a tale that few young female... view more... (2002-03-01)
Space tourism to rocket in this century, researchers predict
Seeking an out-of-this-world travel destination? Outer space will rocket into reality as "the" getaway of this century, according to researchers at the University of Delaware and the University of Rome La Sapienza. view more (2008-02-22)
University of Michigan astronomers capture the first image of surface features on a sun-like star
University of Michigan astronomers combined light from four widely separated telescopes to produce the first picture showing surface details on a sun-like star beyond our solar system. view more (2007-06-01)
Old galaxies stick together in the young universe
UK astronomers have developed the most sensitive infrared map of the distant universe ever produced, revealing the origins of the most massive galaxies in the cosmos. view more (2008-04-07)
Earth's heat adds to climate change to melt Greenland ice
Scientists have discovered what they think may be another reason why Greenland's ice is melting: a thin spot in Earth's crust is enabling underground magma to heat the ice. They have found at least one "hotspot" in the northeast corner of Greenland -- just below a site where an ice stream was recently discovered. view more (2007-12-13)
Study plunges standard theory of cosmology into crisis
As modern cosmologists rely more and more on the ominous "dark matter" to explain otherwise inexplicable observations, much effort has gone into the detection of this mysterious substance in the last two decades, yet no direct proof could be found that it actually exists. view more (2009-05-06)
MIT: Mini satellites rocketing to space station
A Russian rocket launched Monday, April 24, is carrying the first of three small, spherical satellites developed at MIT to the International Space Station - a major step toward building space-based robotic telescopes and other systems. view more (2006-04-27)
Satellite methods for monitoring volcanic activity in the Andes Cordillera
The central part of the Andes situated between southern Peru and Chile bears 50 active or potentially volcanoes, spread along a 1500 km-long arc. These volcanic structures mostly rise to between 4000 and 7000 m, are very remote with abrupt slopes and are often cloaked in snow. view more (2007-10-08)
