| Hubble spots a colorful lenticular galaxy Posted: 09 Nov 2012 04:02 PM PST The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a beautiful galaxy that, with its reddish and yellow central area, looks rather like an explosion from a Hollywood movie. The galaxy, called NGC 5010, is in a period of transition. The aging galaxy is moving on from life as a spiral galaxy, like our Milky Way, to an older, less defined type called an elliptical galaxy. In this in-between phase, astronomers refer to NGC 5010 as a lenticular galaxy, which has features of both spirals and ellipticals. |

| Posted: 09 Nov 2012 05:40 AM PST Scientists have taken another step toward an understanding of photosynthesis and developing artificial photosynthesis. With a combination of a x-ray free-electron laser and spectroscopy, the team has managed to see the electronic structure of a manganese complex, a chemical compound related to how photosynthesis splits water. |
| Effective thermal energy storage system for storing energy from solar panels developed Posted: 09 Nov 2012 05:37 AM PST Engineering researchers have developed a thermal energy storage system that will work as a viable alternative to current methods used for storing energy collected from solar panels. |
