NEW YORK (TIP): The impact of comets crashing into earth’s surface may have provided the energy to create molecules that formed the building blocks of life, scientists say. The study was based on a computer […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Scientists have developed a new technique that could be applied worldwide to create an early warning system for massive tsunamis triggered by earthquakes. Scientists from Stanford University have identified key acoustic characteristics of […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): The moments just after the Big Bang happened more like the theory predicts, an international team of scientists using the most powerful telescope on Earth has discovered. One of the most important problems […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): The US army has developed a realistic robot bird that has even tricked real flocks and hawks to attack it midair, making it a potential unsuspecting future war agent. Robo- Raven was developed […]
SYDNEY (TIP): Scientists will retrace Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1911-14 expedition to the Antarctica in November, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) announced on June 4. A team of 46 researchers and would-be explorers will […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Researchers are manufacturing genetically modified fungi to produce significantly cheaper biofuel. Biofuel is often obtained from starchy plants — but this places fuel production in competition with food production. At the Vienna University […]
NEW YORK (TIP): Researchers have developed a cheap imaging camera sensor which is 1,000 times more sensitive to light than those available at present — and could make it possible to click clear and sharp […]
TOKYO (TIP): Scientists using the ALMA telescope have discovered 15 previously unidentified, extremely dark galaxies buried deeply in cosmic dust. Researchers observed a field named “Subaru/XMMNewtown Deep Survey Field,” located in the direction of the […]
