Mimicking the moon’s surface in the basement (source: sciencedaily.com)
A team of scientists used an ion beam in a basement room at Los Alamos National Laboratory to simulate solar winds on the surface of the moon. The table-top simulation helped confirm that the moon is inherently dry. (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS and RSS Feed on Feedzilla.com [...]
Seeing a stellar explosion in 3D (source: sciencedaily.com)
Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have for the first time obtained a three-dimensional view of the distribution of the innermost material expelled by a recently exploded star. The original blast was not only powerful, according to the new result… (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS feeds and Widgets [...]
Ancient blob-like creature of the deep revealed by scientists (source: sciencedaily.com)
A unique blob-like creature that lived in the ocean approximately 425 million years ago is revealed in a 3D computer model. The model is helping researchers to understand what primitive species on early Earth looked like and how they might have evolved int… (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS [...]
Emerging E. coli strain causes many antimicrobial-resistant infections in US (source: sciencedaily.com)
A new, drug-resistant strain of E. coli is causing serious disease, according to a new study. The new strain, ST131, was a major cause of serious antimicrobial-resistant E. coli infections in the United States in 2007, researchers found. This strain has be… (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS feeds [...]
How monarch butterflies fly away home (source: sciencedaily.com)
Some North American monarchs born in the Midwest and Great Lakes fly directly west over the Appalachians and settle along the eastern seaboard. This finding is the first proof of longitudinal migration and solves the long-standing mystery of why monarchs a… (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS feeds and [...]
Out of the gait: Robot ranger sets untethered ‘walking’ record at 14.3 miles (source: sciencedaily.com)
The loneliness of the long-distance robot: A robot named Ranger walked 14.3 miles in about 11 hours, setting an unofficial world record. A human — armed with nothing more than a standard remote control for toys — steered the untethered robot. (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS feeds and [...]
Flower power makes tropics cooler, wetter (source: sciencedaily.com)
The world is a cooler, wetter place because of flowering plants, according to new climate simulation. The effect is especially pronounced in the Amazon basin, where replacing flowering plants with non-flowering varieties would result in an 80 percent decre… (source: sciencedaily.com) – Share on Twitter – Share on Facebook – RSS and RSS Feed on [...]
Tiny marine microbes exert influence on global climate: Microorganisms display a behavior characteristic of larger animals (source: sciencedaily.com)
New research indicates that the interactions of microscopic organisms around a particular organic material may alter the chemical properties of the ocean and ultimately influence global climate by affecting cloud formation in the atmosphere.
