Typhoon Choi-Wan Triggers Tropical Storm Warnings for U.S. Commonwealth of No. Mariana Islands
Microwave imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite revealed extremely high thunderstorms in Typhoon Choi-Wan as it began passing the island of Sai-Pan in the Western Pacific Ocean. view more (2009-09-15)
UCSB researchers make milestone discovery in quantum mechanics
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have recently reached what they are calling a milestone in experimental quantum mechanics. view more (2008-08-06)
Introducing the 'coolest' spacecraft in the universe
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Planck mission, which will study the conditions present in our Universe shortly after the Big Bang, is reaching an important milestone with the integration of instruments into the satellite at Alcatel Alenia Space in Cannes, France. view more (2007-02-12)
Caltech researchers interpret asymmetry in early universe
The Big Bang is widely considered to have obliterated any trace of what came before. Now, astrophysicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) think that their new theoretical interpretation of an imprint from the earliest stages of the universe may also shed light on what came before. view more (2008-12-17)
Mobile phones under fresh scrutiny
THE safety of mobile phones is under fresh scrutiny following the discovery that their emissions have an unexpected effect on living creatures. The finding throws out the strongest challenge yet to the widely held belief that heating from mobile phone signals is their only potential threat to brain cells.... view more... (2002-02-06)
Next Step to the Quantum Computer
Physicists from the University of Bonn have succeeded in taking a decisive step forward towards processing quantum information with neutral atoms: in the latest issue of the 'Physical Review Letters' vol. 93 (2004) they describe how they managed to set up a quantum register experimentally. Their next aim is to construct a quantum gate in which two... view more... (2004-10-08)
NASA researchers find snowmelt in Antarctica creeping inland
On the world's coldest continent of Antarctica, the landscape is so vast and varied that only satellites can fully capture the extent of changes in the snow melting across its valleys, mountains, glaciers and ice shelves. view more (2007-09-21)
Study suggests simple way to make near-perfect lenses
A new study from the University of Edinburgh and Pennsylvania State University suggests a smart solution to one of the biggest challenges facing the optics and electromagnetics sector - how to produce near-perfect lenses cheaply. view more (2005-09-08)
Mercury atomic clock keeps time with record accuracy
An experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than the national standard clock based on a "fountain" of cesium atoms. view more (2006-07-17)
Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe. view more (2006-05-01)
Silicon photonic crystals key to optical cloaking, researchers say
In computer simulations, the researchers have demonstrated an approximate cloaking effect created by concentric rings of silicon photonic crystals. The mathematical proof brings scientists a step closer to a practical solution for optical cloaking. view more (2008-06-26)
Field guide for confirming new earth-like planets described
Astronomers looking for earth-like planets in other solar systems - exoplanets - now have a new field guide thanks to earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis. view more (2005-09-08)
Research Says Boiling Broccoli Ruins Its Anti Cancer Properties
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that the standard British cooking habit of boiling vegetables severely damages the anticancer properties of many Brassica vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower and green cabbage. view more (2007-05-16)
New JILA apparatus measures fast nanoscale motions
A new nanoscale apparatus developed at JILA—a tiny gold beam whose 40 million vibrations per second are measured by hopping electrons—offers the potential for a 500-fold increase in the speed of scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), perhaps paving the way for scientists to watch atoms vibrate in high definition in real time. view more (2007-03-19)
Satellite data reveals extreme summer snowmelt in northern Greenland, CCNY professor says
The northern part of the Greenland ice sheet experienced extreme snowmelt during the summer of 2008, with large portions of the area subject to record melting days. view more (2008-10-09)
ASDEX Upgrade banishes instabilities
Theory for the ITER international experimental reactor verified / obstacle to power plant eliminated view more (2004-11-12)
Earth not center of the universe, surrounded by 'dark energy': UBC cosmologists
Earth's location in the Universe is utterly unremarkable, despite recent theories that propose toppling a foundation of modern cosmology, according to a team of University of British Columbia researchers. view more (2008-12-19)
Rodent study finds artificial butter chemical harmful to lungs
A new study shows that exposure to a chemical called diacetyl, a component of artificial butter flavoring, can be harmful to the nose and airways of mice. view more (2008-03-14)
Research Paper Illuminates How Light Pushes Atoms
A research paper published in the 18 August edition of the journal Physical Review Letters reveals a new effect in the fundamental way that laser light interacts with atoms. view more (2006-08-21)
Tibet Provides Passage for Chemicals to Reach the Stratosphere
NASA and university researchers have found that thunderstorms over Tibet provide a main pathway for water vapor and chemicals to travel from the lower atmosphere, where human activity directly affects atmospheric composition, into the stratosphere, where the protective ozone layer resides. view more (2006-05-10)
