Einstein Rings
Images from the Hubble
telescope reveal eight new
Einstein rings, joining only
three others previously
known. Einstein rings are
pairs of galaxies, with a
foreground galaxy bending
the light of a background

Metal Rubber
Polymer chemists have
created a flexible,
indestructible material,
called metal rubber, that
can be heated, frozen,
washed or doused with jet
fuel, and still retain its
electricity-conducting

Slam Dunk Science
Basketball players looking
to rule the court may need
more than just skill and
endurance to be a top
player. A good dribble, some
fancy footwork ... It might
look good on the court, but
when it comes to playing the

The Science Behind Wave Pools
Scientists gives us a sneak peek into the world of wave pools, and explain how these huge pools make constant waves. Waves are made by a huge compressor that feeds four gigantic air blowers. Then a ... > more -
Materials Scientists Create Polymer Coating Against Fogged Glass
When moisture condenses on a cool surface, droplets can form that are the right size to scatter light, fogging up glass. A new polymer coating draws droplets into nanopores and transforms them into a ... > more -
Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
A new robot made of ultralight carbon-fiber can stand or slowly walk on water. The principle it uses is borrowed from insects -- surface tension tends to prevent the water's surface from breaking, ... > more -
Materials Scientists Make Valentine Treats Affordable
New and improved technology has now made growing diamonds cost-competitive with mining them. Diamond-making machines subject a graphite-carbon core and a diamond seed at a pressure of 850,000 PSI for ... > more -
Applied Physicist Invents Training Golf Club with Audio Feedback
A new golf club uses motion-detection sensors and wireless technology to coach players through the use of sound. A golfer can "hear" the speed of the swing in wireless headphones, and adjust swings ... > more -
Mathematical Physics Explains How Icicles Grow
When droplets of melted snow drip down an icicle, they release small amounts of heat as they freeze. Heated air travels upwards and helps slow down the growth of the icicle's top, while the tip is ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Replace Chemical-Laden Building Insulation with Recycled Denim
A medical center is insulating its walls with recycled blue jeans instead of fiberglass. The new construction material is more environmentally friendly, as fiberglass contains formaldehyde, which is ... > more -
Physicists Explain Tricky Skateboard Physics
Basic physics can explain how skateboarders are able to do those amazing tricks and why some are impossible. Newton's Laws of Motion explain everything from transferring energy through your body to ... > more -
Entomologists Train Insects to Act Like Sniffing Dogs
If rewarded with sugary water, wasps can be trained in minutes to follow specific smells. The olfactory sensors in their antennae can sense chemicals in the air in concentrations as tiny as a few ... > more -
Seismologists Use Ultrasounds to Assess Quakes Faster
Using ultrasound imaging, seismologists can now determine the epicenter and magnitude of an earthquake quake within 10 to 20 minutes, precisely imaging which fault ruptured and where the rupture ... > more
