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)
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)
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)
Scientists Discover New Ring And Other Features At Saturn Saturn sports a new ring in an image taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on Sunday, Sept. 17, during a one-of-a-kind observation. view more (2006-09-21)
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)
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)
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)
Why are lions not as big as elephants? Carnivores are some of the widest ranging terrestrial mammals for their size, and this affects their energy intake and needs. view more (2007-01-16)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Icy calculations on a hot topic University of Utah mathematicians have arrived at a new understanding of how salt-saturated ocean water flows through sea ice - a discovery that promises to improve forecasts of how global warming will affect polar icepacks. view more (2007-09-11)
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)
Ketogenic diet prevents seizures by enhancing brain energy production, increasing neuron stability Although the high-fat, calorie-restricted ketogenic diet (KD) has long been used to prevent childhood epileptic seizures that are unresponsive to drugs, physicians have not really understood exactly why the diet works. view more (2005-11-14)
'Reverse' tanning process could revolutionize leather industry 'Reverse' leather tanning, which essentially works backward from the point where conventional tanning ends, saves time, money and energy while drastically slashing water use and pollution, say researchers at the Central Leather Research Institute in Adyar, India. view more (2006-01-23)
Early Land Animals Could Walk and Run Like Mammals, New Study Finds Salamanders and the tuatara, a lizard-like animal that has lived on Earth for 225 million years, were the first vertebrates to walk and run on land, according to a recent study by Ohio University researchers. view more (2006-03-09)
Egg's Energy Stores Key to Preserving Fertility An immature egg's internal nutrient supply is critical to its survival, an insight that offers a new route to understanding and treating infertility due to egg death. view more (2005-10-07)
Does life exist on other planets? Recent research argues that an atmosphere rich in oxygen is the most likely source of energy for complex life to exist anywhere in the Universe, thereby limiting the number of places life may exist. view more (2005-06-20)
Genetically engineered blood protein can be used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen Scientists have combined two molecules that occur naturally in blood to engineer a molecular complex that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. view more (2006-12-01)
Supersonic 'Rain' Falls on Newborn Star Astronomers at the University of Rochester have discovered five Earth-oceans' worth of water that has recently fallen into the planet-forming region around an extremely young, developing star. view more (2007-08-30)
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)
Astronomers report mysterious giant star clusters An international team of astronomers reported evidence for the formation of mysterious "super star clusters" Jan. 9 at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C. view more (2006-01-11)
Oceans may soon be more corrosive than when the dinosaurs died Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared. view more (2006-02-21)
