They found magnesium, iron, silicon and other heavy elements, which wouldn’t exist naturally on the surface of a white dwarf, suggesting that they fell onto the star from an orbiting object. The researchers also found a huge excess of oxygen—an amoun
The teeth, upon closer examination, were found to lock together neatly to propel the creatures’ leaps and bounds. “We were totally dumbfounded when we saw this,” Burrows told Inside Science. “You could see these gear wheels moving past each o
There are some things about the core that have remained a mystery, though. A study from 2005 revealed that, although the inner core rotates in the same direction as the surface, it actually rotates slightly faster than the surface. That strange resul
The balloon was carrying sterile microscope slides which were only exposed to the atmosphere at heights of 27km. When the balloon fell back down to Earth the scientists discovered microscopic aquatic algae on the microscope slides - which they say
One theory that we are exploring is that under heat-stress conditions the corals eject the algal symbionts at night in order to avoid the production and accumulation of photosynthetically-derived toxic oxygen molecules during the day. If such molecul
reports of large “hairy elephants” emanate out of Siberia from time to time. One of the more credible stories dates to 1918 when a Russian hunter came upon huge tracks that he could not identify. Intrigued, he decided to follow them, and deeper in th
The new geometric version of quantum field theory could also facilitate the search for a theory of quantum gravity that would seamlessly connect the large- and small-scale pictures of the universe. Attempts thus far to incorporate gravity into the la
Stevens' analysis also includes a chronological timeline showing a rise in reported sightings in the late 1970s (perhaps coinciding with the release of several B-movies about the mythical creature). Another spike in reported Bigfoot sightings occurr
The method is a so called scale-setting procedure, and it fills out some empty, but very important, holes in the theories, models and simulations, which form the basis for all particle physics today.
In a 1900 magazine article, The Problem of Increasing Human Energy, Tesla discusses a machine that can gather heat from the ambient air and other forms of harvesting energy from the natural world.
The Smelling Screen gives viewers a whiff of the action
Psychology is defined as “the study of the soul” yet doctors have trouble defining the Soul. Webster’s defines soul as “the immortal essence, animating principle, or an activating cause of an individual life”. But medical science is divided between t
It is composed of long, thin, rod-like molecules which align themselves so they all point in the same direction. By controlling the alignment of these molecules, scientists can literally tie them in a knot. To do this, they simulated adding a micr
The canyon has the characteristics of a winding river channel and is at least 460 miles (750 kilometers) long, making it longer than the Grand Canyon. In some places, it is as deep as 2,600 feet (800 meters), on scale with segments of the Grand Canyo
The first attempts to fertilize the North Pacific were met with international derision as the stories played out in newspapers and magazines across the globe. The project was funded by the Old Massett Village Council. In a vote in which less than 200
As flowering in bamboos is such a rare event, spreading by seed takes a very long time, and the suspicion arose that they might be old enough to represent new genera, and possibly could even be remnants of the earliest temperate bamboos, which spread
“I began to think about water in the context of biology: if water inside the cell was ordered and structured and not bulk water or ordinary water as most biochemists and cell biologists think, then it is really important,” Dr. Pollack says.
The twelve-year-old "bubble fusion" saga reignited this week. Bubble fusion is the theory that nuclear fusion can be induced by rapidly collapsing bubbles in certain fluids. According to a new investigative report into Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Accretion is very versatile since it can be powered by a large range of electrical sources including chargers, windmills, photovoltaic, and tidal current generators. Most areas where mineral accretion would be useful for reef restoration, shore prote
The paper and related work by Oliveira suggest thousands of unknown species of these creatures are waiting to be found throughout the world's tropical rain forests, he said. Research by Oliveira in the Amazon rain forest alone suggests there may be
Nissan Motor Co is focused on becoming the first manufacturer to offer self-driving cars (SDC) to customers by 2020. Within two vehicle generations and sold at “realistic prices”, consumers can purchase a car that drives itself. Andy Palmer, ex
This, so-called Adaptive Secondary Mirror (ASM) can change its shape at 585 points on its surface 1000 times a second. In this manner the “blurring” effects of the atmosphere can be removed, and thanks to the high density of actua
Traveling forward in time is an uncontroversial possibility, according to Einstein's theory. In fact, physicists have been able to send tiny particles called muons, which are similar to electrons, forward in time by manipulating the gravity around
At these pressures hydrogen no longer forms molecules, but instead forms in sheets, as shown in the figure. Scientists use optical absorption to look for metallization in hydrogen, based on the assumption that metallic hydrogen wou
While a mammoth is unlikely to be cloned in exactly the same way as the sheep, Ian Wilmut said, modern technology could convert tissue cells from frozen mammoth carcasses into stem cells. "While unlikely at present, the development of some form o
It’s a sorrowful milestone: a half-century of utter absence from the scientific record for a creature once known for its prolific numbers, its epic migration, its widespread presence. Within Canada alone, the bird’s distinctive flight or head-bobbing
The shift. It is the dramatic re-ordering of one’s psyche, producing changes that greatly benefit the body, mind and spirit. It is marked by considerable expansion of awareness of the inner spaces of mind and heart, and of the inter-dependent nature
Human hunters can and do keep elk and deer populations in check in many parts of the country. Yellowstone, however, does not permit hunting. As such, the job of elk population control in Yellowstone must fall on the wolves and
So, after analyzing two years worth of data from the LHC, physicists from two LHC experiments, LHCb and CMS, have announced the discovery of the decay of the Bs meson into two muons. (A meson is a hadron and composed of a quark and anti-quark. Muons
