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)
Scientists use seismic waves to locate missing rock under Tibet
Geologists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have located a huge chunk of Earth's lithosphere that went missing 15 million years ago. By finding the massive block of errant rock beneath Tibet, the researchers are helping solve a long-standing mystery, and clarifying how continents behave when they collide. view more (2007-02-08)
Stretchable silicon could be next wave in electronics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a fully stretchable form of single-crystal silicon with micron-sized, wave-like geometries that can be used to build high-performance electronic devices on rubber substrates. view more (2005-12-16)
The math of deadly waves
When Walter Craig saw the images of the devastating 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami he felt compelled to act. So he grabbed a pencil and envelope and started calculating. view more (2006-02-21)
Rice researchers gain new insight into nanoscale optics
New research from Rice University has demonstrated an important analogy between electronics and optics that will enable light waves to be coupled efficiently to nanoscale structures and devices. view more (2005-09-15)
Illegal destruction of coral reefs worsened impact of tsunami
The illegal mining of corals off the southwest coast of Sri Lanka permitted far more onshore destruction from the 26 December 2004 tsunami than occurred in nearby areas whose coral reefs were intact. view more (2005-08-16)
Alaskan storm cracks giant iceberg to pieces in faraway Antarctica
A severe storm that occurred in the Gulf of Alaska in October 2005 generated an ocean swell that six days later broke apart a giant iceberg floating near the coast of Antarctica, more than 8,300 miles away. view more (2006-10-03)
HETE-2 satellite solves mystery of cosmic explosions
An international team of scientists using three NASA satellites and a host of ground-based telescopes believes it has solved the greatest remaining mystery of the mysterious gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe. view more (2005-10-06)
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...

Rice study: 'nanostars' could be ultra-sensitive chemical sensors
New optics research from Rice University's Laboratory for Nanophotonics suggests that tiny gold particles called nanostars could become powerful chemical sensors. view more (2006-04-19)
New properties of the very deep Earth discovered
To truly understand some of the movement we see at the Earth's surface, scientists have to probe deep into the interior. view more (2006-04-28)
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)
Nanoscience Study Shows That Quantum Dots "Talk"
Scientists who hope to use quantum dots as the building blocks for the next generation of computers have found a way to make these artificial atoms communicate. view more (2006-02-22)
A century after 1906 earthquake, geophysicists revisit 'Big One' and come up with new model
Almost a century after the 1906 earthquake, Stanford geophysicists have revisited San Francisco's ''Big One'' and now paint a new picture of a fault that was ready to go and that ruptured farther and faster than previously supposed. view more (2005-12-06)
Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence for Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth. view more (2005-09-23)
Earth's core rotates faster than its crust, scientists say
Scientists have ended a 9-year-old debate by proving that Earth's core rotates faster than its surface, by about 0.3 to 0.5 degree per year. view more (2005-08-26)
GEO600 starts continuous search for Gravitational Waves
The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. view more (2006-06-27)
Mixing it, Southern Ocean style
Sea water being churned in the ocean off Antarctica may be having a greater effect on global patterns of ocean movement than previously thought, according to new research reported in this week's edition of the international journal Science (9 January 2004). view more (2004-01-05)
Slow brain waves play key role in coordinating complex activity
While it is widely accepted that the output of nerve cells carries information between regions of the brain, it's a big mystery how widely separated regions of the cortex involving billions of cells are linked together to coordinate complex activity. view more (2006-09-15)
Pulsating gels could power tiny robots
As a kid, did you ever put those little capsules into warm water and watch them grow into dinosaurs? When certain gels are put into a solution, they will not only expand, but also contract again, repeatedly, as if the little dinosaur grew and shrank over and over. view more (2006-11-03)
