Scientists predict how to detect a fourth dimension of space
Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. View More (2006-05-26)


More recycling on the farm could reduce environmental problems
Growing environmental problems resulting from farming argue for a shift toward practices that use lower inputs of pesticides and energy and more recycling of energy and materials. View More (2007-05-01)



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)


What do Racquel Welch and quantum physics have in common?
The study aims to delve into a 'void' or empty space in which atoms move, which has a large intrinsic energy density known as zero-point energy View More (2006-06-30)


Study identifies energy efficiency as reason for evolution of upright walking
A new study provides support for the hypothesis that walking on two legs, or bipedalism, evolved because it used less energy than quadrupedal knucklewalking. View More (2007-07-17)


Shorter nightly sleep in childhood may help explain obesity epidemic
Soaring levels of obesity might be linked to children sleeping fewer hours at night than they used to, claims a researcher in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. View More (2006-10-19)


Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
A new theory to explain global warming was revealed at a meeting at the University of Leicester (UK) and is being considered for publication in the journal "Science First Hand". View More (2006-03-14)


Ice Volcanoes on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the University of Potsdam have found ice volcanoes-or what could be called "ice geysers"-on the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. View More (2006-03-15)


Astronomers discover distant, icy Earth-like planet
An international team of astrophysicists has discovered a new planet five times the size of Earth, the smallest extrasolar planet revealed to date outside of our solar system. View More (2006-01-27)


New process makes diesel fuel and industrial chemicals from simple sugar
The soaring prices of oil and natural gas have sparked a race to make transportation fuels from plant matter instead of petroleum. Both biodiesel and gasoline containing ethanol are starting to make an impact on the market. View More (2006-06-30)


New Planet Is Larger than Pluto
Claims that the Solar System has a tenth planet are bolstered by the finding by a group lead by Bonn astrophysicists that this alleged planet, announced last summer and tentatively named 2003 UB313, is bigger than Pluto. View More (2006-02-02)


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)


Green alga genome project catalogs carbon capture machinery
The genome analysis of a tiny green alga has uncovered hundreds of genes that are uniquely associated with carbon dioxide capture and generation of biomass. View More (2007-10-12)


New study of solar system speculates about life on other planets
A comprehensive review by leading scientists about our Solar System which speculates on the possibility of life on other planets has been published. View More (2006-09-13)


'Green' Gasoline on the Horizon
University of Oklahoma researchers believe newer, more environmentally friendly fuels produced from biomass could create alternative energy solutions and alleviate dependence on foreign oil without requiring changes to current fuel infrastructure systems. View More (2009-01-14)


NMSU/Wake Forest solar breakthrough will help spur viability of alternative energy
Imagine being able to paint your roof with enough alternative energy to heat and cool your home. What if soldiers in the field could carry an energy source in a roll of plastic wrap in their backpacks? View More (2005-10-10)


Cornell ecologist's study finds that producing ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy
Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. View More (2005-07-06)


Wobbly planets could reveal Earth-like moons
Moons outside our Solar System with the potential to support life have just become much easier to detect, thanks to research by an astronomer at University College London (UCL). View More (2008-12-12)


UCLA engineers pioneer affordable alternative energy-solar energy cells made of everyday plastic
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science hope to meet the growing demand with a new and more affordable way to harness the sun's rays: using solar cell panels made out of everyday plastics. View More (2005-10-10)


Why are lions not as big as elephants?
