Astronomers discover two new planets, both among the hottest ever
Astronomers have discovered two new planets outside our solar system, both extremely close to their stars and thus among the hottest ever found. view more (2006-09-27)
Genetic discovery could lead to drought-resistant plants
New knowledge of how plants "breathe" may help us breed and select plants that would better survive scorching summers, says a University of Toronto study. view more (2005-07-19)
NASA's Chandra finds black holes are 'green'
Black holes are the most fuel efficient engines in the Universe, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. view more (2006-04-25)
Sequencing our seas
Scientists have sequenced and compared the genomes of planktonic microbes living throughout the water column in the Pacific Ocean. view more (2006-01-30)
'Computer-chemistry' yields new insight into a puzzle of cell division
Duke University biochemists aided by Duke computer scientists and computational chemists have identified the likely way two key enzymes dock in an intricate three-dimensional puzzle-fit to regulate cell division. view more (2005-12-09)
NASA finds direct proof of dark matter
Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies. The discovery, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, gives direct evidence for the existence of dark matter. view more (2006-08-22)
Earth-like planets may be more common than once thought, says new U. of Colorado-Penn State study
More than one-third of the giant planet systems recently detected outside Earth's solar system may harbor Earth-like planets, many covered in deep oceans with potential for life. view more (2006-09-08)
Seismologists detect a sunken slab of ocean floor deep in the Earth
Halfway to the center of the Earth, at the boundary between the core and the mantle, lies a massive folded slab of rock that once formed the ocean floor and sank beneath North America some 50 million years ago. view more (2006-05-18)
Cosmic battle creates Milky-Way sized tunnel
A team of astronomers is announcing today that they have discovered a giant Milky Way-sized tunnel filled with high energy particles in a distant galaxy cluster. view more (2006-01-12)
How to Make A Black Hole Choke

Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University... view more... (2001-02-02)
New rocky planet found in constellation Leo
Spanish and UCL (University College London) scientists have discovered a possible terrestrial-type planet orbiting a star in the constellation of Leo. The new planet, which lies at a distance of 30 light years from the Earth, has a mass five times that of our planet but is the smallest found to date. One full day on the new planet would be... view more... (2008-04-10)
NASA Scientists Detect Spectrum of Planets Orbiting Other Stars
For the first time, scientists at Goddard have obtained a spectrum, or molecular fingerprint, of a planet orbiting another star. Using spectroscopy, scientists were able to identify silicon dust in clouds on a gas-giant planet called HD 209458b. That planet is located 150 light years from Earth. view more (2007-02-23)
Drug developed at UC Davis may prevent breast cancer, treat post-menopausal vaginal atrophy
A tamoxifen-like drug developed by UC Davis and Finnish researchers, now in clinical testing as a treatment for vaginal atrophy, may also help to prevent breast cancer, two preliminary studies suggest. view more (2005-11-03)
NASA's Chandra Finds Evidence for Quasar Ignition
New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory may provide clues to how quasars "turn on." view more (2006-03-24)
Marine bacterium suspected to play role in global carbon and nitrogen cycles
Scientists are now revisiting, and perhaps revising, their thinking about how Archaea, an ancient kingdom of single-celled microorganisms, are involved in maintaining the global balance of nitrogen and carbon. view more (2005-09-23)
A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years. view more (2007-09-19)
Shift of Weather Patterns Necessitates Rethinking of Reforestation Methods
Forest landowners can greatly increase the survival rate of pine tree seedlings by changing when and how they plant, according to research conducted here. view more (2005-05-27)
Drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of throat cancer
People are advised to wait a few minutes before drinking a cup of freshly-boiled tea today as a new study, published on bmj.com, finds that drinking very hot tea (70°C or more) can increase the risk of cancer of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. view more (2009-03-27)
Electron filmed for first time ever
Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. view more (2008-02-25)
