| How sea otters can reduce CO2 in the atmosphere: Appetite for sea urchins allows kelp to thrive Posted: 07 Sep 2012 01:14 PM PDT A new study suggest that a thriving sea otter population that keeps sea urchins in check will in turn allow kelp forests to prosper and help reverse a principal cause of global warming. |
| New approach to cosmic lithium in the early universe Posted: 07 Sep 2012 01:14 PM PDT Astrophysicists have explored a discrepancy between the amount of lithium predicted by the standard models of elemental production during the Big Bang and the amount of lithium observed in the gas of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy near to our own. |
| Scientists cast doubt on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle Posted: 07 Sep 2012 09:51 AM PDT Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. The principle has bedeviled quantum physicists for nearly a century, until recently, when researchers demonstrated the ability to directly measure the disturbance caused by measuring a property of something, and confirm that Heisenberg was too pessimistic. |
| World record set for highest surface area material Posted: 07 Sep 2012 09:51 AM PDT The internal surface area of just one gram of the synthetic material NU-110 could cover one-and-a-half football fields. That extremely high surface area could make the material especially promising for natural gas storage applications. |
| Towards computing with water droplets: Superhydrophobic droplet logic Posted: 07 Sep 2012 05:20 AM PDT Researchers in Finland have developed a new concept for computing, using water droplets as bits of digital information. This was enabled by the discovery that upon collision with each other on a highly water-repellent surface, two water droplets rebound like billiard balls. |
