This gallery shows four planetary nebulas from the first systematic survey of such objects in the solar neighborhood made with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The planetary nebulas shown here are NGC 6543, also known as the Cat’s Eye, NGC 7662, NGC 7009 and NGC 6826.
A recent study published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology debunks yet another lie of the biotechnology industry concerning genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). According to an analysis conducted by researchers from the University of Sherbrooke Hospital
A new study out this week shows how exposure to environmental pollutants can cause genetic mutations. Now epigeneticists found that some exposures can change how genes are expressed and then are passed on for generations. “Not only does the individual exposed get the
Researchers have developed biocompatible electronic devices able to serve as conventional electronics but unlike them, these can harmlessly dissolve into fluids. This characteristic opens up a complete array of possible applications like bioresorbable (can be broken
Does the term “Carbon capture and storage” ring a bell in your mind? Wikipedia defines it as a “technology attempting to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel use in power generation and other industries by capturing
An experiment done in May 2012 by an international research team constituting researchers from Austria, Canada, Germany and Norway, set a new distance world record in quantum teleportation. The distance across which they were able to reproduce characteristics of a
One gram of DNA can store 700 terabytes of data, reveals the latest research done by George church, a bio-engineer and professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School with his team; which is 1000 times more than previous record in terms of data density. Team was
Recent research testifies archeological records of droughts in Ancient Egypt during the demise of Egypt’s old kingdom, the era known as the pyramid-building time. A study of ancient pollen and charcoal preserved in deeply buried sediments in Egypt’s Nile Delta provides
A new study published in Scientific Reports – Nature last week said that genetic mutations have been found in three generations of butterflies near Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. Researchers concluded that artificial radionuclides from the Fukushima
America's Pacific Northwest has a 37% chance of being hit by a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 50 years, a new study shows.
That's more than double previous estimates of a 10-15% risk. Great Subduction Zone earthquakes are the largest
