| Paint-on solar cells developed Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:13 PM PST Imagine if the next coat of paint you put on the outside of your home generates electricity from light -- electricity that can be used to power the appliances and equipment on the inside. Scientists have just created an inexpensive "solar paint" that uses semiconducting nanoparticles to produce energy. |
| Astronomers discover rare galaxy at dawn of time Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:12 PM PST Astronomers have discovered that one of the most distant galaxies known is churning out stars at a shockingly high rate. The blob-shaped galaxy, called GN-108036, is the brightest galaxy found to date at such great distances and is 12.9 billion light-years away. |
| Crucial advances in 'brain reading' demonstrated Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:07 AM PST A new study demonstrates several crucial advances in "brain reading" or "brain decoding" using computerized machine learning methods. Researchers classified data taken from people being scanned while watching videos meant to induce nicotine cravings and detected whether people were watching and resisting cravings, indulging in them, or watching videos that were unrelated to smoking or cravings. |
| Some nearby young stars may be much older than previously thought Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:06 AM PST New research concludes that the stars of Upper Scorpius are twice as old as previously thought. |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:03 AM PST Two Earth-sized planets have been discovered around a dying star that has passed the red giant stage. The discovery marks the first known case of planets surviving being engulfed by their parent star and may shed new light on the destiny of stellar and planetary systems, including our solar system. |
| Quantum cats are hard to see: Researchers explain the difficulty of detecting quantum effects Posted: 16 Dec 2011 12:03 PM PST Researchers can explain why we don't usually see the physical effects of quantum mechanics. |
