Galaxy Goes Green in Burning Stellar Fuel
April 23, 2013 — Astronomers have spotted the "greenest" of galaxies, one that converts fuel into stars with almost 100-percent efficiency. The findings come from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), ... > full story -
New Material Approach Should Increase Solar Cell Efficiency
April 23, 2013 — A new research group brought together aspects of condensed matter physics, semiconductor device engineering, and photochemistry to develop a new form of high-performance solar photocatalyst based on ... > full story -
New Research Findings Open Door to Zinc-Oxide-Based UV Lasers, LED Devices
April 23, 2013 — Researchers have solved a long-standing materials science problem, making it possible to create new semiconductor devices using zinc oxide -- including efficient ultraviolet lasers and LED devices ... > full story -
Residential Lawns Efflux More Carbon Dioxide Than Corn Fields, Study Finds
April 23, 2013 — More carbon dioxide is released from residential lawns than corn fields according to a new study. And much of the difference can likely be attributed to soil temperature. The data suggest that urban ... > full story -
Jupiter's Atmosphere Still Contains Water Supplied by the Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet Impact
April 23, 2013 — Researchers are reporting Herschel observations of water in Jupiter's stratosphere. It is a clear remnant of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet impact on Jupiter nearly 20 years ... > full story -
New NASA Satellite Takes the Salton Sea's Temperature
April 22, 2013 — A new NASA image may look like a typical black-and-white image of a dramatic landscape, but it tells a story of temperature. The dark waters of the Salton Sea pop in the middle of the Southern ... > full story -
Scientists Map All Possible Drug-Like Chemical Compounds: Library of Millions of Small, Carbon-Based Molecules Chemists Might Synthesize
April 22, 2013 — Drug developers may have a new tool to search for more effective medications and new materials. It's a computer algorithm that can model and catalog the entire set of lightweight, carbon-containing ... > full story -
Using Black Holes to Measure the Universe's Rate of Expansion
April 22, 2013 — Scientists have developed a method that uses black holes to measure distances of billions of light years with a high degree of accuracy. The ability to measure these distances will allow scientists ... > full story -
Grains of Sand from Ancient Supernova Found in Meteorites: Supernova May Have Been the One That Triggered the Formation of the Solar System
April 22, 2013 — Scientists have discovered two tiny grains of silica (SiO2; the most common constituent of sand) in meteorites that fell to earth in Antarctica. Because of their isotopic composition these two grains ... > full story -
