UT Dallas nanotechnologists demonstrate artificial muscles powered by highly energetic fuels
University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) nanotechnologists have made alcohol- and hydrogen-powered artificial muscles that are 100 times stronger than natural muscles, able to do 100 times greater work per cycle and produce, at reduced strengths, larger contractions than natural muscles.   view more (2006-03-17)

Study finds two supermassive black holes spiraling toward collision
A pair of supermassive black holes in the distant universe are intertwined and spiraling toward a merger that will create a single super-supermassive black hole capable of swallowing billions of stars.   view more (2006-04-06)

Milky Way's fastest pulsar is on its way out of the galaxy, astronomers find
The Milky Way's fastest observed pulsar is speeding out of the galaxy at more than 670 miles a second, propelled largely by a kick it received at its birth 2.5 million years ago.   view more (2006-02-16)

The presence of oxygen on carbon nanotubes enhances interaction with ammonia
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which could play an important role in developing sensors against chemical threats, have enhanced interaction with ammonia because of the presence of oxygen groups on the nanotubes, researchers at Temple University have discovered.   view more (2005-07-12)

Exploding star within a star - a recurrent nova!
On 12 February 2006, amateur astronomers reported that a faint star in the constellation of Ophiuchus had suddenly become clearly visible in the night sky without the aid of a telescope.   view more (2006-04-07)

MIT researchers fired up about battery alternative
Just about everything that runs on batteries - flashlights, cell phones, electric cars, missile-guidance systems - would be improved with a better energy supply. But traditional batteries haven't progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century.   view more (2006-02-08)

General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test — Einstein at least 99.95 percent right
An international research team led by Prof. Michael Kramer of the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK, has used three years of observations of the "double pulsar", a unique pair of natural stellar clocks which they discovered in 2003, to prove that Einstein's theory of general relativity-the theory of gravity that... view more...

Nuclear explosion on a dead star - astronomers probe aftermath
A team of astronomers from the UK and Germany have found that a nuclear explosion on the surface of a star 5,000 light years from Earth resulted in a blast wave moving at over 1,700 km per second (one thousand miles per second or almost four million miles per hour!).   view more (2006-07-20)

How long is a day on Saturn?
Measuring the rotation period of a rocky planet like the Earth is easy, but similar measurements for planets made of gas, such as Saturn, pose problems.   view more (2006-05-04)
