Trying to understand how the atmosphere, its clouds, and the oceans underneath behave without taking into account the fact that the planet is spinning is a futile exercise. In order to help students and laymen alike, experts at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Earth and Space Sciences ... |

The six members of an experiment meant to simulate the solitude of long-term space travel are getting ready to enter a new phase in their mission early next month. At that time, they will be simulating a Martian landing, a landmark achievement that will see them “exploring” the Red Planet for a month.The ... |

For many physicists, determining how the force of gravity acts at small scales, such as in the distance separating two atoms, has been an elusive objective for many years, but new studies are starting to shed some light on the issue. The investigations are also beginning to reveal that the laws of classical physics m... |

According to a new series of investigations, it would appear that changes in behavior take place faster through tightly-knit social networks, than they do through groups with many distant ties.This spreading patterns is a lot different from the one employed by news or infectious diseases, which prefer the latter vari... |

An international team of scientists has recently managed to achieve an incredible goal in graphene research. They were able to produce pseudo-magnetic fields several times stronger than the strongest magnetic fields ever obtained in the lab. All of this was possible through applying the correct type of pressure and s... |

The six pseudo-astronauts locked behind closed doors inside a Moscow research facility are beginning to send out their first messages to the world. One such message is a journal entry released by Romain Charles, one of the team members that was selected by the European Space Agency. He is a 31-year-old engineer from ... |

The fact that nature has a marked influence on our bodies and the way we feel is undeniable. This is obvious during warm and sunny days, when people feel like going out or socializing. When it's cold and rainy, or on the contrary too hot, we stay indoors, and generally feel a bit down. But, overall, spending tim... |

When the space shuttle Atlantis took off to the International Space Station (ISS) in mid-November, it carried with it, among other experiments, a living one as well. Its payload bay also included the “CSI 03 – Butterflies in Space” experiment, which is built by experts at the University of Colorado ... |

In a special experiment, the American space agency launched Saturday night an unusual rocket into the atmosphere, with the express purpose of creating noctilucent (Latin for 'to shine at night') clouds. The result was an eerie cloud that shone in the night sky for a brief period of time, causing worried cit... |

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity essentially united Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with his own theory of special relativity, thus explaining the properties of gravity through the geometry of space and time. He was the first to demonstrate that massive objects in the Universe, inc... |

The National Ignition Facility in California is the largest laser instrument in the world, and it's scheduled to come online later this year. The beginning of scientific experiments at the laboratory will also mean that the first artificial star will be created on the planet, BBC News reports. That is to say, ex... |
