A new investigation, conducted on yeast cells, reveals more clues about how antidepressants work. The results also appear to suggest that problems with the neurotransmitter serotonin are not the sole cause of depression. This particular finding is very important, since it may open new avenues of research for treating... |

Hurricane Irene, a Category 3 storm that struck North America in August 2011, is not an “100-year event,” as some experts have suggested. Rather than being an anomaly, a new study shows, it represents a clear indicator of how storm intensity will evolve as global warming progresses.
Investigators at the ... |

In a paper published in the October 7 issue of the scientific journal Optics Express, physicists at the Princeton University show that trying to block the path of a light beam by covering the hole through which it passes tends to enhance the photon stream, rather than subdue it.
Conventional wisdom holds that placin... |

According to the conclusions of a new scientific study, it would appear that short-term climate variations are going astray over as much as a third of Earth. These changes affect factors such as cloud cover and rainfall, as well as the amount of sunshine a certain region receives.
Usually, these differences maintai... |

Investigators at the Princeton University announce the creation of a new computer model that can be used to determine how seismic waves would affect the planet, were Earth to be hit by a meteorite.
Such a study could have important applications if a space rock were ever to be detected heading our way. Naturally, the... |

Astronomers at the Princeton University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) announce the discovery of the darkest extrasolar planet known to date. The object, called TrES-2b, absorbs more than 99.9 percent of all light shone on it.
The celestial body is more massive than Jupiter, which place... |

Astronomers surveying the constellation Draco found an extrasolar planet orbiting the star GSC 03549-02811, some 750 light-years away. The thing that makes this exoplanet stand out from all the rest is the fact that it's the blackest (darkest) one ever discovered. Early measurements indicate that it reflects les... |

A group of investigators from the Princeton University in the United States says that it recently managed to gather more insights into the nature of electrons. They way that scientists did this was by analyzing how single electrons interact with their environment.Using a complex, laser-based study technique, the expe... |

Using the latest astronomical techniques and equipment, experts were recently able to map out the distribution of matter across the distant Universe, and found it to be more clumped up together than theories would have suggested. The work also provides more evidence that dark energy is real. In order to gain a better... |

For centuries, mathematicians have been trying to determine the best way of filling a given space, in such a way that not free spaces remain, and that they do not use cubes. Efficiently filling a volume with multi-faceted objects has proven to be a formidable theoretical challenge, until now. This conundrum is not on... |

It now looks like bacteria have a natural ability to somehow "foresee" the future, in relation to their habitat and living conditions. Experiments on cultures of Escherichia coli (E. coli) showed that no matter the influences they are subjected to, bacteria still manage to adapt over short periods of time. In fact, s... |
