Petunias and potatoes may actually be carnivorous plants, scientists now suggest. Indeed, carnivorous behavior may be far more widespread in plants than commonly thought. At least six different kinds of killer plants have been recognized since the
The human body may be equipped with a separate sensory system aside from the nerves that gives us the ability to touch and feel, according to a new study. Most of us have millions of different types of nerve endings just beneath the skin that let us
In the best of all imagined worlds, it would be nice to create such a worm hole from one end, then pull the enlarged worm hole around one’s craft and emerge on the other side of a collapsing wormhole in another star system. No time duration would be
Anger is more likely among the young, those with children at home, and the less educated, a new study finds. A national survey of 1,800 Americans aged 18 and older questioned participants on how and when they feel angry in order to build "a broade
"The rover's spinning wheels have broken through a crust, and we've found something supremely interesting in the disturbed soil," says Ray Arvidson of the Washington University in St. Louis. Spirit, like its twin rover Opportunity, has roame
A novel technology involving use of stem cells, developed by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers, has been applied to provide better and rapid healing for patients suffering from complicated bone fractures.
University of Manitoba professor Bob Altemeyer distills his decades of research into authoritarians and authoritarian followers in a fast, entertaining read.

In the film, "The Day After Tomorrow," the world gets gripped in ice within the span of a few weeks. Research suggests an eerily similar event might indeed have occurred in the past. There is no reason why such a freeze shouldn't happen again [The En
An Italian who lost his left forearm in a car crash was successfully linked to a robotic hand, allowing him to feel sensations in the artificial limb and control it with his thoughts, scientists said Wednesday. During a one-month experiment conduc
On one of the Galapagos islands whose finches shaped the theories of a young Charles Darwin, biologists have witnessed that elusive moment when a single species splits in two. In many ways, the split followed predictable patterns, requiring a hybr
This new technology from Fujitsu Laboratories enables successful formation of graphene transistors across the entire surface of a large substrate
When they looked at the xenon part of the structure, they realized that the interaction of xenon with the surrounding hydrogen was responsible for the unusual stability and the continuous change in xenon-xenon distances as pressure was adjusted from
The great promise of neuroscience at the end of the last century was that it would revolutionize the treatment of psychiatric problems. But the first real application of advanced brain science is not novel at all. It is a precise, sophisticated versi
Astrophysicists no longer sit and idly wonder what happens when a powerful stellar jet from a young star collides with giant clouds of gas and dust. They first watch what happens hundreds of light years away, and then recreate the cosmic event with a
We not only hear with our ears, but also through our skin, according to a new study. The finding, based on experiments in which participants listened to certain syllables while puffs of air hit their skin, suggests our brains take in and integrate
Magnetic fields of around 15 giga-gauss(GG, billion gauss) ion temperatures should be 10-20 times higher than electron temperatures. 0.4 GG have been observed in plasma focus fields. A six-fold increase could be obtained by using smaller electro
A team of Swiss doctors is conducting about 100 autopsies a year without cutting open bodies, instead using devices including an optical 3D scanner that can detect up to 80 percent of the causes of death. Michael Thali, a professor at the University
Science under pressure can produce marvelous results, such as an entirely new way to store hydrogen fuel. Researchers combined the noble gas xenon with molecular hydrogen (H2) to make a never-before-seen solid that opens the doors to an entire new fa
Positrons, the antimatter equivalent to electrons, were detected in gamma ray bursts during lightning storms.
A technology originally developed for premature babies may be helping to save some of the sickest swine flu patients by rerouting their blood so their lungs can rest. It's a risky approach using equipment that only certain specialized hospitals ha
Jin-Woo Kim, a biomedical engineering researcher at the University of Arkansas, is part of a cutting-edge nanotechnology research group that has discovered a way to capture tumor cells in the bloodstream. The work could dramatically improve early can
NASA’s Cassini Mission has been sending back photos of Saturn’s moons to Earth for awhile. We have some of the newest, as well as others as we take a virtual tour of seven of the Many Moons of Saturn
For 23 torturous years, Rom Houben says he lay trapped in his paralyzed body, aware of what was going on around him but unable to tell anyone or even cry out. The car-crash victim had been diagnosed as being in a vegetative state but appears to have
The Sun's rays, combined with photocatalysts, can be used to destroy pollutants dissolved in water. Many pollutants are removed from the water by this photochemical cleaning process, very efficiently and, using sunlight as the energy source, also in
The creatures living in the depths of the ocean are as weird and outlandish as the creations in a Dr. Seuss book: tentacled transparent sea cucumbers, primitive “dumbos” that flap ear-like fins, and tubeworms that feed on oil deposits.
By the end of last year there were an estimated 4.1bn mobile subscriptions, up from 1bn in 2002. That represents six in 10 of the world's population, although it is hard to make a precise calculation about how many people actually use mobile phones.

The nuclear physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider were surprised that they could so quickly get beams of protons whizzing near the speed of light during the restart late Friday. The machine was heavily damaged by a simple electrical fault i
And once the virus enters the lungs – hemorrhaging begins immediately in the acinus. A continuous hemorrhage … It takes several hours. In the blood fibrin is formed, and from it – giolinovaya membrane, resembling a plastic bag. It envelops the acinus
An unclassified review article has been published on the subject of LENR or as more popularly known cold fusion by the Defense Intelligence Agency.
