| Glow in space is evidence of a hot bubble in our galaxy Posted: 28 Jul 2014 06:44 AM PDT A recent study shows that the emission is dominated by the local hot bubble of gas -- 1 million degrees -- with, at most, 40 percent of emission originating within the solar system. The findings should put to rest the disagreement about the origin of the X-ray emission and confirm the existence of the local hot bubble.  |
| Building 'invisible' materials with light Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:07 AM PDT A new technique which uses light like a needle to thread long chains of particles could help bring sci-fi concepts such as cloaking devices one step closer to reality.  |
| Intestinal parasites are 'old friends,' researchers argue Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:11 AM PDT Intestinal parasites such as tapeworms, hookworms and a protist called Blastocystis can be beneficial to human health, according to a new paper that argues we should rethink our views of organisms that live off the human body. To prove the point, a co-author even ingested three developmental stages of a large species of tapeworm called Diphyllobothrium latum. After more than a year with the tapeworms, which might have grown to be as long as four metres each by now, he says he feels fine.  |
