Satellite images of striped hills in Russia mystify NASA
A hilly landscape in Northern Russia had the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) mystified of its striped patterns. On Feb. 23, the agency posted satellite images of a rock formation near the Markha River in Arctic Siberia. Taken using the Operation Land Imager on the satellite Landsat 8 over many years, the images showed a wrinkled landscape laced with gnarled patterns of […]

Storing and transporting hydrogen, a clean fuel that can provide power off-grid
Hydrogen might just be the fuel of the future. An energy carrier like electricity, it can store tremendous amounts of energy and power places with no access to the power grid. And whether it’s used in a fuel cell or burned to create heat, its only byproducts are clean water and heat. But the “hydrogen economy” – […]

3D printing manufacturing hubs could transform cities
Imagine a city that doesn’t have to rely on factories several hundreds of miles away to supply the needs of its residents. This self-sufficient city could become its own manufacturing hub. Now, researchers from Cardiff University have found a way to make that happen. In a recent study published in the journal Computers & Operations Research, researchers described how 3D […]

Study shows gullies on Mars’ southern hemisphere
Mars might have no active volcano and no streams of water to speak of, but it has vast shifting sand dunes that continually churn out gullies. That’s according to a study published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, which shows that gullies form on the sand dunes in the planet’s south every Martian spring. How the Martian seasons drive […]

Scientists suggest “gravity portals” can turn dark matter into ordinary matter
Over 80 percent of the matter in the universe exists in a form that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as “dark matter,” this mysterious substance cannot be seen or detected by even the most powerful telescopes. Now, a recent study shows what potentially happens to dark matter when it interacts with gravity. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of […]

Stanford researchers create photon diode for all-optical computer that runs on light instead of electricity
Researchers from Stanford University developed a photon diode that could be used for an all-optical computer that uses light instead of electricity for computing. Photon diodes — devices that allow light to flow in only one direction — are ubiquitous in modern electronics and can be found in LEDs, solar cells and integrated circuits used in computing and communications. But most diodes are not small enough for […]

An ancient volcano lurks beneath Germany – is it capable of erupting?
A volcano used to loom just outside of Berlin in Germany. When the land on which it stood rifted long ago, it toppled to the ground and got buried by layers of rocks. Millions of years later, is it still capable of erupting? History of the ancient volcano outside Berlin In the late 1960s, a group of excavators mined […]

The song in your head: The brain can recognize familiar songs in just 300 milliseconds
The ability to recall a popular song is exemplified on “name that tune” game shows where contestants have to identify a snippet of music in just a few seconds. But British and Japanese researchers say that humans may actually do better than that: The brain only takes as little as one-tenth of a second to recognize a familiar tune. The finding, published in […]

“Superionic” minerals flow through Earth’s deep mantle, according to study
A recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that Earth’s deep mantle likely harbors hydrous minerals that are in an extreme phase of water known as “superionic ice.” Also called “superionic water,” superionic ice is black, hot and several times heavier than normal ice. This strange phase has both solid and liquid properties at the same time – the hydrogen […]

Scientists try a “futuristic experiment” using dozens of plasma guns to generate fusion power
Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico are performing a “futuristic experiment” using dozens of plasma guns to harness fusion energy. The plasma guns are components of the lab’s Plasma Liner Experiment (PLX), a fusion reactor operating on a novel combination of two existing methods of hydrogen fusion. Reactor uses hybrid fusion methods Hydrogen fusion […]
