In this introductory lecture, Dr. Gerda Horneck of the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne describes Astrobiology as a newly emerging field of science.Astrobiology comprises the study of the overall pattern of chemical evolution of potential precursors of
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
Birds, fish, and sea life across the world have been dying in huge numbers over the last 2 years. Over 100,000 drum fish washed ashore in Arkansas; other sea life also are littering our shores; thousands of birds have fallen from the skies all over the world. Why?
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
As speculations claim essential resources for modern industry will extinct in upcoming years, ideas of mining the asteroids to extract minerals and bring them to Earth promise to cope with such inevitable problem. Scientists claim that minerals
Space elevator, sometimes referred to as beanstalks, space bridges, space lifts, space ladders, skyhooks, orbital towers, or orbital elevators; is a proposed type of space transportation system designed to permit vehicle transport along the cable from a planetary
New lightest material developed by German scientists from Keil University and The Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is named Aerographite. It is jet-black, remains stable, is electrically conductive, ductile and non-transparent. It is composed of a network of
In the coming months, scientists in Geoscience Australia will activate the country’s highly advanced tsunami warning system which will allow scientists to make accurate predictions on both when tsunamis may happen and on where they may hit.According to scientists,
A portal is a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown – an extraordinary opening in space or time that connects travelers to distant realms.Thinking SCI-FI? Well, read on.NASA-funded researcher and plasma physicist Jack Scudder of the University of
