| Inspired by moth eyeballs, chemists develop gold coating that dims glare Posted: 04 Apr 2014 11:04 AM PDT All that's gold does not glitter, thanks to new work that could reduce glare from solar panels and electronic displays and dull dangerous glints on military weapons.  |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2014 05:58 AM PDT G2, a doomed gas cloud, is edging closer to Sgr A*, the hungry supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center.
