It’s been known for years that the Andromeda galaxy would collide with the Milky Way, two of the largest galaxies in the Local Group, in…
Limited by today’s telescope technology, an international team of astronomers searched for another way to probe supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. By analyzing data…
It was first announced back in December 2011 that two new elements would join the periodic table of elements. It has now become official. Flerovium…
In an attempt to better understand the sun and the space weather system that surrounds Earth, scientists are gathering information and looking at a unique…
A company called Rayfish Footwear claims to bring consumers shoes made out of genetically engineered stingrays. The resulting shoes look very distinctive, but there has…
Working with populations of yeast growing in test tubes, researchers at MIT published the first experimental validation of the theory that populations suffering a decline…
An international team working to understand invisibility and extend its possible applications has now devised an amplifier, “Schrödinger’s hat,” that can boost light, sound or…
A recent low-energy test with SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source proved that the X-ray laser could dip more deeply into the so-called “water window,” and…
Using observations made with radio telescopes, astronomer Dr. Braun has discovered that the galaxies around us are hiding about a third more atomic hydrogen gas…
Researchers at Stanford University have found a way to help reduce the cost of catalysts used inside fuel cells. By using multi-walled carbon nanotubes riddled…
The Tomato Genomics Consortium fully sequenced the genome of the tomato, Solanum Lycopersicum. They report in the Journal Nature that tomatoes possess some 35,000 genes…
By searching the available medical literature and evaluating seven randomized trials that involved 28,065 adult patients who were monitored for two to 15 years, researchers…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute believe that they now know where the methane on Mars is originating from. In their published work, the scientists…
