An international team of scientists led by University College London provided insight into decline of Arctic sea ice volume and generated estimates of the sea-ice volume for the 2010–11 and 2011–12 winters over the Arctic basin using data from ESA’s CryoSat
We have heard about quantum computing a lot of times – computations based on quantum mechanics, unlike conventional computing, which relies on transistors and requires data encoding into binary digits. Quantum computers are expected to carry out certain computational
3D printers have been around for a while now, although not many people own them. Not to be confused with Lenticular printing (which creates illusion of depth), 3D printing is a sequential process of creating three-dimensional solid objects of virtually any shape
NASA’s Spitzer space telescope observed a rare phenomenon – an infant binary star behind a dense disk and envelope of dust 950 light-years away from Earth flashes at regular intervals. NASA report published on February 7, 2013 says such phenomenon has been observed
Very strong earthquake with recorded magnitude 7.0 struck Columbia on Saturday, February 09, 2013 at 14:16 UTC. Epicenter of the earthquake was located 5km (3mi) NE of Yacuanquer and 11 km (7 miles) SW (235°) from Pasto, co-ordinates were 1.143°N,
This week, 6 volcanoes were noticed to have new activity, whereas ongoing activity was reported for 11 volcanoes. This report covers active volcanoes in the world recorded from January 30 – February 5, 2013 based on Smithsonian/USGS criteria.New
Another strong and shallow earthquake recorded as magnitude 6.1 (USGS) struck Santa Cruz Islands on February 02, 2013 at 18:58 UTC. Epicenter of the quake was located 66 km (41 miles) WSW of Lata, Solomon Islands and 551 km (342 miles) NNW of Luganville, Vanuatu
Hydrogen is a zero-emission fuel and arguably an excellent candidate of alternative energy. Use of hydrogen extracted from water to generate electricity is a topic of an ongoing debate. Recent experiments by University at Buffalo researchers revealed how silicon
Another strong earthquake of magnitude 6.0 (USGS) hit Santa Cruz Islands on February 01, 2013 at 05:36:41 UTC, at depth of 9.4 km (5.8 miles). USGS registered M 6.2 at first, but the magnitude was revised later to M 6.0. Epicenter of the earthquake was located 59
This week, 7 volcanoes were noticed to have new activity, whereas ongoing activity was reported for 13 volcanoes. This report covers active volcanoes in the world recorded from January 23 – January 29, 2013 based on Smithsonian/USGS criteria.New
