The instrument, named Alice, began mapping the comet's surface last month, recording the first far-ultraviolet light spectra of the comet's surface. From the data, the Alice team discovered the comet is unusually dark -- darker than charcoal-blac
Given that cutlery is something we use every day, you'd have thought the potential for its innovation might have been exhausted. Nonetheless, a number of projects have shown that it's still possible to innovate this most simple of tools. Recent exa
Many groups and organizations have been formed to clean up plastic that ends up washing ashore on our beaches, but the vast majority of plastic pollution ends up in the ocean. The planet has a growing addiction to cheap and industrious plastic, incre
A town of around 20,000 people, Riehen sits just outside of Basel on the Swiss-German border. This section of the border wraps around Riehen in such a way that in 2006, the town's old swimming pool had to be demolished to make way for a tunnel conne
N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is an illegal, psychedelic tryptamine compound found in the human body and at least ~60 species of plants worldwide. Rick Strassman, MD, described it as ?the first endogenous human psychedelic? in DMT: The Spirit Mol
Some claim they were carried there from the ocean by "uplifting air currents," according to Sploid. The Mirror reports the plankton are atypical for Baikanour, Kazakhstan, where the station initially launched, meaning it's unlikely they were on it
We usually call such dreams ?nightmares.? The generic message of any nightmare is: Wake up. Pay attention. There is a survival issue being brought to your attention here! Sometimes the ?survival issues? raised by nightmares are related to actual phys
Next, both Spitzer and Kepler recorded multiple transits at visible and infrared wavelengths. Data from the observatories agreed: Kepler 93 b was really a planet and not some artefact of stellar variability. Ballard then knew that by looking carefull
If an astronaut were to attempt to stand on this surface, he or she would fly off into space unless he or she were somehow anchored. The presence of cohesive forces has been predicted in small asteroids, but definitive evidence has never been seen
Essentially this says that the European male lineages include a pre-modern "Out Of Africa" component from the Neanderthal age. That would be in the Neanderthal age, and the time distance between the two populations is pretty exactly the span of the
The DRC Finals will take place from June 5-6, 2015 at Fairplex in Pomona, California. The DRC Finals will require robots to attempt a circuit of consecutive physical tasks, with degraded communications between the robots and their operators; the winn
The even better news is that we can work with it and manipulate it and are already doing so. There is still plenty to learn of course and for now we will build data. I am going to really need a budget for scientific tools. It was not directly pr
The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In "Beyond Science" Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? Yo
The description was recently found by Dr. Phillippe Charlier, a medical doctor and archeologist, who is well known in France for his forensic work on the remains of historical figures. Charlier unexpectedly discovered the medical description in a boo
he US Fish and Wildlife Service added 48 species that live only on Kauai to the endangered species list in 2010, including two different species of the Hawaiian honeycreeper, a small bird, and the large Hawaiian picture-wing fly. Also, several protec
DMT is without doubt one of the most powerful, yet mysterious, psychedelics in existence, but to classify it as merely a drug would be to do it a great injustice. DMT is more of a trans-dimensional key into experiences so profound and awe-inspiring
In 1960, a young astronomer by the name of Frank Drake pointed the Green Bank radio telescope at the stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani?and listened for the sounds of an alien civilization. Drake's little experiment marks the official beginning o
The trouble stems from the most recent census of objects that produce high-energy ultraviolet light. Some of the biggest known sources are quasars ? galaxies with actively feeding black holes at their centres. These behemoths spit out plenty of UV li
A number of other groups have been working to make super-black materials from carbon nanotubes in recent years. A prime application for the material is in sensitive optical equipment, like telescopes. A NASA Goddard team, led by John Hagopian, has be
The discovery of the missing plastic raises a host of questions. Oceanographer Kara Lavender Law of the Cape Cod-based Sea Education Association, part of a team currently researching issues surrounding marine debris, told National Geographic: ?We ar
Comparing the later scan with the first scan, Kim?s team found increased grey matter volume in several regions of the fathers? brains. This included areas previously identified as showing growth in new mothers, including the striatum (involved in rew
simply refuse to rot or decompose, remaining pristine for years and years after after a person?s death. The Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches refer to these remains as ?incorruptible corpses,? and claims that they are able to avoid the ravages o
A new invention at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is truly out of this world. It?s name? The EmDrive. It?s function: a self-contained, solar-powered eternal space shift thruster engine. Inventor Roger Shawyer crafted the mind-b
How useful would it be to have a skill that allowed you to move, rocks, tree trunks and even buildings without the need for anything more than a few blocks of wood, some sand and a handful of regular garden pebbles? Wally Wallington has found a me
Could it have been a hummingbird, rather than an insect? Tennessee has records of seven different hummingbird species, of which one (the ruby-throated hummingbird Archilochus colubris) breeds here and a second (the rufous hummingbird Selasphorus rufu
The development relies on the same process that turns water into ice cubes in your freezer. Many substances undergo changes in structure when they change temperature, such as going from solid to liquid, or crystalline to non-crystalline. These phase-
In the Singularity of Source, there is no time – only an Infinitely Conscious Presence of Being that exists in all forms and all spaces at once. As one comes to recognize Source, one is freed from the bonds of time and all karmic causality is destroy
Yet we struggle to master the material because sound authority has told us that this is good. It is authority rather than the morphic field. My own work is profoundly elementary yet demanding in initial effort to simply write out. Thus all await auth
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology claims that the material was developed for purely experimental purposes, "but might open up the door to interesting applications in a few years from now, as it allows for producing materials with freely selectab
After placing live caterpillars back on both sets of plants, the researchers found that the set that had been exposed to the caterpillar's feeding sounds produced more mustard oil, a chemical that's meant to fend off hungry critters. According to H
