Before The Big Bang
University Park PA (SPX) Jul 02, 2007New discoveries about another universe whose collapse appears to have given birth to the one we live in today will be announced in the early on-line edition of the journal Nature Physics on 1 July 2007 and will be published in the August 2007 issue of the journal's print edition. "My paper introduces a new mathematical model that we can use to derive new details about the properties of a quantum ... more International Space Station Provides Classroom for Students Around the World 
Houston TX (SPX) Jun 29, 2007Imagine a classroom project to build training hardware for astronauts. Or growing plants on the International Space Station. Or snapping photographs from space. For more than six years, the space station -- where crews perform experiments 220 miles above Earth -- has become a base for an integral part of school curriculums around the world. Nearly 32 million U.S. and international partner ... more Carnegie Leads Team Conducting Most Detailed Cosmological Simulation To Date 
Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Jun 29, 2007By incorporrating the physics of black holes into a highly sophisticated model running on a powerful supercomputing system, an international team of scientists has produced an unprecedented simulation of cosmic evolution that verifies and deepens our understanding of relationships between black holes and the galaxies in which they reside. Called BHCosmo, the simulation shows that black hol ... more Neutron Stars Join The Black Hole Jet Set 
Cambridge, MA (SPX) Jun 29, 2007NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system. This discovery may help astronomers understand how neutron stars as well as black holes can generate powerful beams of relativistic particles. The jet was found in Circinus X-1, a system where a neutron star is in orbit around a star several times the mass of the Sun, about 20,000 lig ... more Aerojet Demonstrates Key Advances In Controllable Solid Propulsion Rocket Motors 
Sacramento CA (SPX) Jul 02, 2007Aerojet, a GenCorp recently conducted an internally funded test firing of large-scale controllable solid rocket motors. Controllable solid rocket motors are an advanced propulsion capability that combines the simplicity of using solid propellants with the flexibility normally associated with use of liquid propellants. This test resulted in the largest successful firing of the company's con ... more |

He apologised on Sunday durin ... more Japan PM Seeking Leeway To Shoot Down Missile For US 
Tokyo (AFP) June 29, 2007Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Friday Japan should find legal leeway to allow its armed forces to shoot down a ballistic missile fired at its key ally the United States. Abe made the remarks before a panel of advisers which he set up in April to lay the legal groundwork for Japan to fight for allies under attack without breaching its post-World War II pacifist constitution. The constitutio ... more US Wants To Go It Alone On Missile Defense 
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Jun 29, 2007Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to join President George W. Bush at Walker's Point, the Bush family's seaside estate, in Kennebunkport, Maine, this weekend for a short summer retreat. Both leaders will focus on the deployment of elements of a U.S. missile defense system, namely 10 missile interceptors in Poland and an early-warning radar in the Czech Republic. President Putin, mean ... more BAE Systems Completes Major New Facility For Ionospheric Physics Research 
Gakona, Alaska, June 27, 2007BAE Systems has completed work on the world's largest and most capable ionospheric research facility. The facility will be used to study interactions between high-power radio signals and the earth's ionosphere. As the prime contractor for the U.S. Defense Department's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) research station, BAE Systems designed and built the facility, operating s ... more Australian Drought Turns To Flood As California Dries Out 
Sydney (AFP) July 1, 2007As severe water restrictions take effect in Australia's major agricultural area, experts say there are signs the country's worst drought in a century may finally be coming to an end. Torrential rain last week flooded parts of Victoria state, just weeks after a deluge hit New South Wales and left nine people dead. The rains helped replenish dwindling dam levels in some of Australia's major ... more |

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (AFP) Jun 28, 2007In a vast wilderness in eastern Russia, scientists and tourism entrepreneurs are anxiously working out how much is left of one of the world's great natural wonders, Geyser Valley. Hidden behind a veil of secrecy in Soviet times, the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula boasts nature at its most unpredictable, as demonstrated by a recent landslide that obliterated many of its prized geysers. In ... more Consumers Must Be Convinced Nanotechnology Benefits Outweigh Risks 
Washington DC (SPX) Jun 26, 2007"There is no doubt that nanotechnology has the potential to make the world a better place," said Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Chief Scientist Andrew Maynard. "But if consumers and other stakeholders are not convinced that the benefits outweigh the risks, many applications will not see the light of day. Likewise, if the benefits are unclear and the risks uncertain, the products of nanotec ... more Statoil And Shell Scrap Carbon Capture Plans To Pump More Oil 
Oslo (AFP) June 29, 2007Norwegian oil group Statoil and Britain's Shell said Friday they were scrapping plans to use carbon dioxide (CO2) to increase oil production. An evaluation showed that "though the value chain is technically feasible, it is not commercial viable," Statoil said in a statement. The project, announced in March 2006, involved the construction of a gas-fired power plant and a methanol production facil ... more EU To Relaunch Ties With Africa Amid Rising Chinese Influence
