Scientists thought they knew volcanoes – until they looked under Bermuda
The Bermuda Islands sit atop evidence of a new process of volcanic formation. Researchers have discovered that molten material from the Earth’s mantle transition zone might filter toward the surface and form a volcano. Experts know of two methods of volcanic formation. One of the processes takes place when tectonic plates crash together. The other process involves […]

Astronomers observe a tiny star emitting a powerful magnetic explosion: Is this the start of new life in space?
There is a star found 250 light-years from our solar system. Although much smaller and dimmer than the sun, it is currently undergoing an explosion of electromagnetic radiation that might create simple lifeforms on any nearby exoplanets. Called ULAS J224940.13-011236.9, it is one of the coolest and smallest stars known to exist in the universe. Usually, the […]

Mesmerized by the ocean? To understand why the moon is where it is, start with Earth’s tides
As far as the human race remembers, the moon has always been there. But how did it get up there in the first place – and what keeps it revolving around Earth? By firing lasers at artificial mirrors deployed on the moon, researchers have learned that Earth’s satellite is drifting away at the rate of […]

Cars running on “clean” hydrogen one step closer – world’s fastest hydrogen sensor developed
The safe and effective use of flammable hydrogen gas as a source of energy depends on the capabilities of the sensor system. In response, Swedish researchers has come up with hydrogen sensors that run fast enough to hit the performance targets for hydrogen-powered vehicles of the future. Their optical nanosensor fits within a plastic-based capsule. […]

Understanding metallic glass: Scientists discover liquid metals form structures that help solidify metallic glasses
When you think of liquids, they usually don’t form structures that stop their atoms and molecules from flowing freely. But Yale researchers demonstrated that the right circumstances allow liquid metals to create the rigid shapes required by metallic glasses. Furthermore, they proposed that the structures formed by liquid metals might play a significant role in […]

Unearthing the prehistoric past of Texas – animals thought “Old World” found to have roamed it 12 million years ago
Millions of years ago, Texas supported large populations of prehistoric antelopes, camels, elephants, horses, and rhinos. Its rich selection of fauna matched those found in the Serengeti, the vast ecosystem of Africa that brims with wildlife. The fossil evidence for the “Texas Serengeti” first emerged during the Great Depression. Local workers hauled thousands of specimens […]

How are moons made? Scientists study moon fractures to understand how they are formed
The surface of the moon may be more battered than previously believed. Researchers say that deep fractures from ancient asteroid impacts reach miles into the lunar rock. The moon tore free from the young Earth more than four billion years ago. Since then, it took countless impacts from meteors and asteroids that left various marks […]

Swiss startup invents higher-performance electric car battery that can leave Tesla batteries in the dust
A startup in the tiny mountainous country of Switzerland promises to deliver what electric car giant Tesla Motors has failed to pull off. Its new lithium-ion battery is said to store and produce far more power for vehicles than existing designs. Swiss company Innolith claims that an electric vehicle equipped with its lithium battery would […]
