New Massive Crater Possibly Discovered
[13 Hours Ago] In the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Scientists announce the possible discovery of a new gigantic impact crater in the central parts of Africa, more precisely in DR Congo. The massive deforestation currently taking place in this country is uncovering what looks like a massive ring in the ground, researchers report. Thus far, observing the feature from satellite has been impossible due to the massive amount of trees that was covering the area. But now geologists and planetary scientists have begun taking a massive interest in determining w... Read More »2010-03-10 15:58:20 | comments
Twitter, Facebook Ready Location-Aware Features
[15 Hours Ago] Twitter and Facebook are reportedly on the verge of launching features that let users broadcast their location...but is that something you really want to share?
Geolocation—associating physical locations with social networking updates and posts—is a potential gold mine for both mobile and social networking services, in theory enabling users to find each other more easily, but also enabling them to tap into relevant local news, news, offers, and real-time information relevant to where they are. To that end, both Twitter and Facebook are reportedly on the verge of rolling out location-based features for their services…but questions remain about how locatio...

C/2007 Q3: Ablaze with Infrared Light
[21 Hours Ago] The comet, also known as C/2007 Q3, was discovered in 2007 by observers in Australia.
Is it a bird, or a plane? No, it's comet Siding Spring streaking across the sky, as seen by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. This movie stitches together five frames taken by WISE as it orbited Earth during its ongoing infrared survey of the whole sky. The images span about eight hours of time.
The comet, also known as C/2007 Q3, was discovered in 2007 by observers in Australia. The snowball-like mass of ice and dust spent billions of years orbiting in the deep freeze of th... Read More »2010-03-10 07:17:15 | comments
Carbon nanotubes can produce powerful waves that could be harnessed for new energy systems
[1 Day Ago] Big Power from Tiny Wires: Carbon Nanotubes Can Produce Powerful Waves That Could Be Harnessed for New Energy Systems
A team of scientists at MIT have discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that can cause powerful waves of energy to shoot through minuscule wires known as carbon nanotubes. The discovery could lead to a new way of producing electricity, the researchers say.
The phenomenon, described as thermopower waves, "opens up a new area of energy research, which is rare," says Michael Strano, MIT's Charles and Hilda Roddey Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, who was the senior author of a pape... Read More »2010-03-10 01:19:41 | comments
