In a galaxy 250 million light-years from Earth, astronomers have spotted a record-breaking number of supernovae found at the same time.
A new experiment bent light to make a hole in time—albeit one that lasted only about 40 trillionths of a second.
If this doesn't sound like a dream come true, I don't know what does. The German government is testing a new design for a low-energy home packed with renewable energy generation systems, dubbed the...
Releasing a report on the 'Big Island' of Hawai'i's geothermal energy resources, local and state government leaders agreed that the island and island state should aim to rely on local, renewable re...
In a ceremony last month, Katerva announced the winner of their first annual award for Best Sustainable Idea, a process touted as the “Nobel Prize of Sustainability” by the non-profit organization....
The Global Green growth Forum (3GF)* has ended in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conclusion is that economies based upon green technology are the only way to guarantee an economically viable future. This forum was about airing bold...
After 520 days of total isolation in a mock spaceship, the Mars 500 crew were reunited with their loved ones in the outside world. In this edition of Space we have the men’s first accounts and exclusive images of their sealed capsule. We also witness the aftermath and follow their medical and psychological check ups. Finally, we discover just how important this simulated trip to nowhere…
The National Energy Administration of China has set a series of development goals for the country
Preston at Jetson Green rounds up all the houses I missed this year
Only four days into the New Year and the first four exoplanets of 2012 have been spotted orbiting four distant stars.
A new image of the Omega Nebula, captured by ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), is one of the sharpest of this object ever taken from the ground. It shows the dusty, rose-coloured central parts of this famous stellar nursery and reveals extraordinary detail in the cosmic landscape of gas clouds, dust and newborn stars.
Quantum theory is known for its peculiar concepts that appear to contradict the fundamental principles of traditional physics. Researchers have now succeeded in creating a special quantum state between two mesoscopic gases with approximately 500 atoms. The state is known as a “squeezed“ vacuum, in which measuring one gas affects the results of the measurement on the other. To produce these results the team had to develop a novel detection technique to measure values in atomic gases that were previously unobtainable.
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new method that allows to study how the brain processes different aspects of music, such as rhythm, tonality and timbre (sound color) in a realistic listening situation.
