| Posted: 10 Dec 2013 08:33 AM PST Mothers get all the attention. But a study suggests that the father's diet before conception may play an equally important role in the health of their offspring. It also raises concerns about the long-term effects of current Western diets and of food insecurity. |
| Landsat 8 helps unveil the coldest place on Earth Posted: 10 Dec 2013 08:10 AM PST Scientists recently recorded the lowest temperatures on Earth at a desolate and remote ice plateau in East Antarctica, trumping a record set in 1983 and uncovering a new puzzle about the ice-covered continent. |
| Astronomers solve temperature mystery of planetary atmospheres Posted: 10 Dec 2013 06:11 AM PST An atmospheric peculiarity the Earth shares with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune is likely common to billions of planets, astronomers have found, and knowing that may help in the search for potentially habitable worlds. |
| Recipe for a Universe: Apply heat and stir Posted: 10 Dec 2013 04:19 AM PST Apply heat and stir; an expanding universe can emerge in a remarkably simple way, say scientists. When soup is heated, it starts to boil. When time and space are heated, an expanding universe can emerge, without requiring anything like a "Big Bang." This phase transition between a boring empty space and an expanding universe containing mass has now been mathematically described by researchers. The idea behind this result is a remarkable connection between quantum field theory and Einstein's theory of relativity. |
| Cockroach never seen before in U.S. identified in New York; Can survive freezing temperatures Posted: 09 Dec 2013 05:41 AM PST A species of cockroach never found in the United States before has been positively identified in Manhattan. Unlike the roaches that New York residents have known and hated for years, this variety can survive not just indoors where it's warm, but also outdoors in freezing temperatures. The species Periplaneta japonica is well documented in Asia but was never confirmed in the United States until insect biologists documented its presence. |
