| Data from NASA's Voyager 1 point to interstellar future Posted: 15 Jun 2012 08:48 AM PDT Data from NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft indicate that the venerable deep-space explorer has encountered a region in space where the intensity of charged particles from beyond our solar system has markedly increased. Voyager scientists looking at this rapid rise draw closer to an inevitable but historic conclusion -- that humanity's first emissary to interstellar space is on the edge of our solar system. |
| Nanotechnology used to harness power of fireflies Posted: 15 Jun 2012 08:41 AM PDT Scientists have found a new way to harness the natural light produced by fireflies using nanoscience. Their breakthrough produces a system that is 20 to 30 times more efficient than those produced during previous experiments. |
| Neutrons escaping to a parallel world? Posted: 15 Jun 2012 07:43 AM PDT In a new paper, researchers hypothesize the existence of mirror particles to explain the anomalous loss of neutrons observed experimentally. The existence of such mirror matter had been suggested in various scientific contexts some time ago, including the search for suitable dark matter candidates. |
| Persistence is learned from fathers, study suggests Posted: 15 Jun 2012 07:35 AM PDT A longitudinal study found that adolescents learn persistence through fathers who follow good parenting practices. As a result, these adolescents saw higher engagement in school and lower rates of delinquency. |
