| NASA spacecraft reveals recent geological activity on the moon Posted: 20 Feb 2012 10:50 AM PST New images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft show the moon's crust is being stretched, forming minute valleys in a few small areas on the lunar surface. Scientists propose this geologic activity occurred less than 50 million years ago, which is considered recent compared to the moon's age of more than 4.5 billion years. |
| Pulsars: The universe's gift to physics Posted: 20 Feb 2012 06:08 AM PST Pulsars, which already have produced two Nobel Prizes, are providing scientists with unique insights on topics from particle physics to General Relativity. |
| Never forget your keys, phone or lipstick ever again Posted: 20 Feb 2012 05:58 AM PST RFID tags are becoming ubiquitous, shops, warehouses, libraries and others use them for stock and inventory control and to reduce the risk of theft. Now, a team in Dubai has developed the concept of an IPURSE, a mobile platform that keeps track of tiny RFID tags you stick to or insert into your personal possessions, mobile phone, camera, laptop, keys other gadgets and even mundane objects such as notebooks and cosmetics. |
| 'Duet of one' possible with hand-controlled voice synthesizer Posted: 19 Feb 2012 10:53 AM PST New technology makes it possible for a person to speak or sing just by using their hands to control a speech synthesizer. The new gesture-to-voice-synthesizer technology mirrors processes that human use when they control their own vocal apparatus. |
| Building blocks of early Earth survived collision that created moon Posted: 18 Feb 2012 10:45 AM PST Unexpected new findings by geochemists show that some portions of the Earth's mantle (the rocky layer between Earth's metallic core and crust) formed when the planet was much smaller than it is now, and that some of this early-formed mantle survived Earth's turbulent formation, including a collision with another planet-sized body that many scientists believe led to the creation of the moon. |
