Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers have developed fully functional flexible non-volatile resistive random access memory
A very comprehensive ranking of cities around the world based on many criteria that matter to cyclists. How does your city rank? Does it make the cut?
While looking for a safe place to weather the cold Martian winter, the rover Opportunity spied something protruding from the Mars regolith -- something it's never seen before.
Q-Cells has announced that it is building what it claims is Europe
Scientists who threw down the gauntlet to physics by reporting particles that broke the Universe
Astronomers have measured the diameter of the dwarf planet Eris by catching it as it passed in front of a faint star. This was seen by telescopes in Chile, including the TRAPPIST telescope at the European Southern Observatory
Making waves as the material that will revolutionize electronics, graphene -- composed of a single layer of carbon atoms -- has nonetheless been challenging to produce in a way that will be practical for innovative electronics applications. Researchers have discovered a method to synthesize high quality graphene in a controlled manner that may pave the way for next-generation electronics application.
Astronomers report in the journal <em>Nature</em> that organic compounds of unexpected complexity exist throughout the Universe. The results suggest that complex organic compounds are not the sole domain of life but can be made naturally by stars.
Capable of flying far, carrying large loads and powered only by the sun, could this airship hybrid be the future of aviation?

An American-based investment group has secured a power purchase agreement with the Namibian government to build a 500-megawatt photovoltaic power plant near the capital of Windhoek.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Like all galaxies, our Milky Way is home to a strange substance called dark matter. Dark matter is invisible, betraying its presence only through its gravitational pull. Without dark matter holding them together, our galaxy
(PhysOrg.com) -- A research project at Microsoft Research Cambridge has brought forth a prototype called Holodesk, which lets you manipulate virtual objects with your hand. You literally "get your hands on" the virtual display. According to the official description from its creators, there is at work a "novel real-time algorithm for representing hands and other physical objects" allowing physically realistic interaction between real and virtual 3-D objects.
The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction, thanks to new radar technology. Researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.
