More than 400 years ago, a debate started in the scientific community, which was seeking to uncover the answer to the question “What generated our planet's magnetic field and magnetosphere?.” The latter is the only thing that prevents all life on Earth from being annihilated in an instant, due to mas... |

According to scientists, mantle plumes are stretches of enormously hot rocks that can be found in the Earth's mantle. They come from tremendous depths, and some hypothesize that a few of the mantles originate from parts very close to the planet's core. The hot rocks are responsible for a lot of features on ... |

Moore's Law was first used to predict the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit, and argued that their number would grow exponentially over time. Indeed, current trends show that twice as many transistors can be placed on the same circuit in an interval of approximately 18 months. Now, newl... |

A new geological theory gives rise to the belief that our planet has two inner cores instead of one, as scientists believed until now. That's not to say that the new theory proved correct. In fact, it's very difficult to say what exactly lies at the center of the Earth, as studying the region is nearly impo... |

Not long ago, when humans visited the Moon, there were still many theories related to the way it formed, but soon they were ruled out, one by one. For instance, one stated that it formed, like the Earth, from the accretion of space dust into increasingly larger lumps, another stated that it was born in a di... |

A new research performed by a team of geophysicists from the University of California in Berkeley, led by Burkhard Militzer, concluded that the rocky core of the giant gaseous planet in the middle of our solar system is at least twice bigger than previously indicated by computer simulations and studies. The main focu... |

A recent study sheds new light on the early years of the solar system, and comes to indicate that its whole evolution must be reconsidered. According to the findings, during the first 3 million years, the system was full of miniature planets, called planetesimals, that sported tiny molten cores and solid crusts, and ... |

A group of experts from all over the world have used powerful laser technology to recreate the extreme conditions inside planetary cores or stellar surfaces. Besides the obvious consequence that this study may have on the general comprehension of the formation and evolution of the solar system and, ultimately, the un... |

The fatidic date of December 21, 2012 was linked by many to the drastic decrease in strength of our planet's magnetic field and to the complete reversal of its poles. This would leave Earth undefended against solar radiation, as well as force our satellites down from their orbit, wrecking the GPS system, further... |

Since the distance between space's bodies is so enormous, astronomers have very hard times counting and measuring all the newly-emerging stars. That's why the H-alpha characteristic signal emitted by the new stars comes as a blessing for those who detect them by telescope. The amount of such rays emitted fr... |

Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, but one thing is certain: it wasn't always this small. At least, that's what the data collected by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft during the beginning of this year reveals. In the early history of the solar system, when Mercury was much warmer than it is... |

It is widely known that the Earth's magnetic field is varying in strength periodically and has reversed poles several hundred times in the past 4.6 billion years, since our planet exists. However, new measurements show that the changes take place much more rapidly than is has been previously predicted, especiall... |

Microsoft did officially confirm Windows 7's delivery in 2010, but additional details on the next version of the Windows operating system are scarce to say the least, as the project is built under the watchful eye of Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group. In 2007, one... |

Don't panic... or panic, if you've been saving enough cash to buy the ordinary Xbox 360 Core package. Gamespot and Kotaku have caught wind of the newest rule that applies to game stores: "Don't say a word about the Core pack". It seems that the stock is gone, although I've just seen one of these ... |

While Intel chose the shortest route to quad core processors by putting two dual core CPUs side by side on the same piece of silicon, AMD took the longer route to a true native quad core design that in theory should give their Barcelona and Phenom processing units a big performance advantage. The downside of this app... |

You don't even know what to believe these days. Rumors take all possible shapes, but when we're talking about the games market and gaming hardware, they sometimes tend to be overstretched. This time however, a rumor about Microsoft prepping to launch new Core and Premium Xbox 360 models, enabled with HDMI o... |

AMD will soon launch its Barcelona quad core processors and Intel will follow after a few months with a new family of processors named Penryn. Based on the 45nm technological process, the processors using the Core 2 micro architecture and the quad core design are gathered into a single family generically named Penryn... |

A new astronomical theory could change the established knowledge about our own galaxy and its center. Supermassive black holes are currently thought to exist at the center of most galaxies, including Milky Way. But what if for a second, invisible black holes were to exist at the center of our galaxy, besides the one... |

Mars and Earth are now different on the surface, but recent discoveries support the idea that the Red Planet was once similar to our world, having an atmosphere and possibly even water. A new discovery shows that, although somewhat similar on the outside, the two planets are really very different to the core.The re... |

Mars' surface is a frozen wasteland composed primarily of basalt and full of craters. Much of the surface is deeply covered by a fine iron(III) oxide dust that has the consistency of talcum powder. The planet has no intrinsic magnetic field, even though parts of the planet's crust have been magnetized.But ... |

A strange thing happens at the very core of our galaxy. It seems that a spinning bar of material may be throwing nearby stars outwards as it rotates and most of them are heading towards our solar system. Fortunately, none of these stars has any chance of actually reaching us.A team of researchers led by Thomas Bensb... |

It seems that the solar core rotation is slower than previous theories suggested.The core of the Sun is extending from the center to about 0.2 of the solar radius, and it's the hottest and most dense part of the Sun, having a temperature of 15 million Kelvins (the surface only has 6 000 K) and a density 150 ti... |

As one of the benefits which followed ATI's acquisition by AMD is the 690 series chipset. It was released by AMD on the 28th of February, 2007, and it uses an integrated ATI Radeon X1250 GPU. NVIDIA has a counterattack in store for AMD's series of chipsets with its GeForce 7050/nForce 630a and GeForce 7050/... |
