Snake Rovers Might Take Us Below The Martian Surface
Human space exploration is going to kick into high gear in the coming decades. Within the inner Solar System alone, missions are being planned that will see robotic explorers and crews sent to Near Earth Objects (NEOs), back to the Moon, and even on to Mars. Beyond that, there are...

Scientists Are Getting Creepily Close to Being Able to Read Our Minds
Scientists are one step closer to becoming mind readers after new research identified some of the complex brain patterns that go into forming sentences in our heads. Brain patterns generated by certain sentences could be predicted with 87 percent accuracy in the study, based on an ‘alphabet’ of 42 different...

The World’s Tropical Zone Is Expanding, And We Should All Be Worried
The Tropics are defined as the area of Earth where the Sun is directly overhead at least once a year – the zone between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. However, tropical climates occur within a larger area about 30 degrees either side of the Equator. Earth’s dry subtropical zones lie adjacent to...

Physicists Just Found One of The Forces Holding The World Together Can Also Push It Apart
No, seriously, we really will need to update the textbooks on this one. A type of force that makes molecules briefly stick to one another has been shown to have a more repulsive side, even when they aren’t being squeezed together. Since first being described in 1930, van der Waal forces have...

An Astronomer Has a Plan to Use The Sun’s Gravity to Channel Video From The Stars
New research has demonstrated the feasibility of a rather creative solution to the challenge of sending large amounts of data over interstellar distances; we could use the Sun’s gravity. The same lensing effect that has allowed astronomers to see galaxies at the edge of the Universe would also focus streams of information...

Carbon Nanotubes Found to Be a Safe Bet For Reconnecting Neurons
Scientists have integrated carbon nanotubes in neurons to control growth and restore lost electrical connections between nerve cells. They have shown that the carbon nanotubes can be used safely and hope they can restore neural function to people with spinal injuries. The integration of carbon nanotubes brought along some unexpected...

Scientists Want to Genetically Engineer Heat-Resistant Cows to Survive Climate Change
Umm… The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) has proposed a plan to make cows more resistant to the temperature increase caused by global warming. The proposal has received a three-year, US$733,000 federal grant. The scientists’ plan aims to retain the quality meat cows provide while increasing the efficiency of the process...

Happy Aphelion! Earth Is Farthest from the Sun Today
Earth gets farther from the sun today (July 3) than it does at any other point during the year. The moment of greatest separation, known as aphelion, comes at 4:11 p.m. EDT (2011 GMT) today, when Earth and the sun will be 94,505,901 miles (152,092,505 kilometers) apart. On average, Earth lies 92,955,807 miles...

If We Stopped Emitting Greenhouse Gases Right Now, Would We Stop Climate Change?
Earth’s climate is changing rapidly.

NASA Is Planning an Asteroid Deflection Test Mission in Case The Unthinkable Happens
NASA is preparing an ambitious test mission to see if it’s capable of deflecting an incoming asteroid that, if left unchecked, would imperil Earth. The space agency wants to examine whether it’s possible to knock threatening space rocks off their trajectory to prevent the fiery annihilation of all we hold dear, and has signalled...
