Thanks to scientists at the University of Bristol, it may become possible to build airplanes with wings of glass. Dr. Paddy Royall from the University of Bristol and his colleagues in Canberra and Tokyo, have shown that despite its solid ...
Disciplined and observational study of the natural world including, but not limited to: Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Science.
Warp Drive Just Around the Corner?
Researchers from Baylor University in Texas have developed a new approach to creating a warp bubble that can create warp drive propulsion at velocities greater than the speed of light without violating special relativity. The novelty of this approach lies ...
New Evidence Supports Ice Age Comet Theory
Recent geological evidence gathered in Ohio and Indiana has been verified by a University of Cincinnati assistant professor as support of a comet theory, claiming a comet explosion over earth was the cause of drastic changes to life on our ...
Spectroscopy Finds Early Tooth Decay
King’s College, London is developing a new technology that may make the dentist’s drill obsolete in as little as five years. A preliminary study shows that decay causing bacteria scatter light differently from healthy tooth matter. Using a form of ...
Evidence of Water in Moon’s Interior
A research team from Brown University has found for the first time evidence of water deep within the moon. The researchers believe the water was contained in lunar magmas ejected more than 3 billion years ago. The new discovery strongly ...
On Lobotomy and Phantom Limbs
Studied for hundreds of years, the brain is still a mystery in many respects and one part of it is particularly mysterious: the Frontal Lobes. One way to find out more about this large and important area of the brain ...
Radio Sensors to Help Detect Cancer
Professor J.C Chiao and his colleague Dr. Tang from the University of Texas at Arlington are developing a new device that uses radio frequencies to detect cancer. Previously used by the defense industry for weapons detection, these tiny sensors will ...
The New Face of Mercury
Recent analysis of data collected in January 2008 by NASA’s Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging spacecraft has shown that Mercury’s volcanoes were involved in plain formation and suggest that its magnetic field is actively produced in the planet’s ...
Proton-Electron Mass Constant for 6 Billion Years
Research carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy has shown there has been practically no variation in the proton-electron mass ratio over the last six billion years. The research was based on studying the spectra of light ...
Fighting Viruses with their Own Weapons
Naama Elefant, a PhD student from the Hebrew University, was named one of this year’s winners of the Barenholz Prizes for Creativity and Originality in Applied Computer Science and Computational Biology for the discovery of a new mechanism by which ...
