By using a mathematical procedure developed by a team of engineers at MIT, new software can optimize path planning for automated underwater vehicles (AUVs), even…
While looking over data from the Spitzer Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer Galactic (MIPSGAL) surveys, volunteers have…
A newly proposed nuclear clock would be nearly 100 times more accurate than the best atomic clocks we have now, would be accurate to 19…
Using laser-induced electron diffraction, a team of physicists recorded the first real-time image of two atoms vibrating in a molecule. While using common atmospheric gases…
Solar start-up company Ampuse has teamed up with NREL and ORNL to reduce the cost of solar cells through the use of a new manufacturing…
Zelboraf, which targets the mutated BRAF gene, is used to treat melanoma, but it isn’t always successful due to melanoma’s ability to sometimes get around…
A new study published today shows the first measurements of the antihydrogen spectrum. The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has been researching antimatter and has routinely…
It appears that deafness penetrates much more rapidly and deeply into the brain than previously thought. While studying songbirds, neurologists discovered that when their hearing…
The GRAIL spacecraft has officially begun its science phase and will map the gravity field of the moon three times over the next 84 days,…
Paleontologists have discovered a new wildly snaggle-toothed skull in northeast China that belonged to previously unknown flying reptile. It was named Guidraco venator, which is…
Ötzi’s DNA has finally been sequenced. An international team published the almost complete DNA of the Iceman Ötzi from the Tyrolean Alps in the journal…
Topological insulators, such as sheets of bismuth selenide, are ultra-thin sheets of material that are transparent, flexible, and highly conductive. Scientists at the SLAC National…
New research published today in the journal Cell Metabolism indicates that endocannabinoids might enable organisms to stay thin without the need for exercise or diets….
Scientists are studying hot flow anomalies, HFAs, and their effect on the planet Venus. Unlike Earth, Venus is without a magnetic field and although the…
The elusive Higgs boson might have been spotted in the data collected by the Tevatron, a now shuttered collider at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The…
Neurologists just took another step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. While studying mice, they discovered that the antibodies that block the function of…
Missed by previous surveys, astronomers using FourStar found 30 red galaxies, which form the earliest known “galaxy city” in the universe, located 10.5 billion light-years…
