Two NASA Satellites Captures Hurricane Bill's
Bill was the third tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, behind Ana and Tropical Depression One. Over the weekend Bill grew into the first hurricane in the Atlantic this season. Two NASA Satellites captured Bill's rainfall and cloud temperatures as he was powering up. view more (2009-08-18)
NASA satellite finds the world's most intense thunderstorms
A summer thunderstorm often provides much-needed rainfall and heat wave relief, but others bring large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes. Now with the help of NASA satellite data, scientists are gaining insight into the distribution of such storms around much of the world. view more (2006-10-26)
Gold nanoparticles, radiation combo may slow Alzheimer's
Chemists in Chile and Spain have identified a new approach for the possible treatment of Alzheimer's disease that they say has the potential to destroy beta-amyloid fibrils and plaque - hypothesized to contribute to the mental decline of Alzheimer's patients. view more (2006-01-05)
How healthy are Britain's children?
Primary schools across the UK are soon to be invited to take part in the Young Scientist National Fitness Experiment to find the fitness of the nation's children. In our society of fast food, microwave meals and chips with everything, the importance of keeping fit has never been more obvious. But with the vast majority of children being driven to... view more... (2003-09-05)

A finite dodecahedral Universe
A franco-american quintet of cosmologists [1] conducted by Jean-Pierre Luminet, from Paris Observatory (LUTH), has proposed an original explanation to account for a surprising detail observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) recently mapped by the NASA satellite WMAP. According to the team, who published their study in the 9 october 2003... view more... (2003-10-11)
