| 'Failed stars' host powerful auroral displays Posted: 29 Jul 2015 11:21 AM PDT By observing a brown dwarf 20 light-years away using both radio and optical telescopes, astronomers have found that such so-called failed stars host powerful auroras near their magnetic poles -- additional evidence that brown dwarfs are more like giant planets than small stars.  |
| Dense star clusters shown to be binary black hole factories Posted: 29 Jul 2015 11:20 AM PDT The merger of two black holes is one of the most sought-after observations of modern astronomy. The first observatories capable of directly detecting gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein -- will begin observing the universe later this year. When these waves rolling in from space are detected on Earth for the first time, astrophysicists predict astronomers will 'hear,' through these waves, five times more colliding black holes than previously expected.  |
| Yarn from slaughterhouse waste Posted: 29 Jul 2015 08:07 AM PDT Researchers have developed a yarn from ordinary gelatine that has good qualities similar to those of merino wool fibers. Now they are working on making the yarn even more water resistant.  |
| Brain surgery saved Russian general who helped defeat Napoleon: Scientists 'rewrite' history books Posted: 29 Jul 2015 07:21 AM PDT After more than two-years of international investigation, scientists have concluded that Napoleon likely would have conquered Russia in 1812 if not for the life-saving brain surgery performed on Russian general Mikhail Kutuzov by the French surgeon Jean Massot, who operated on Kutuzov after bullets twice passed through his head.  |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2015 06:19 AM PDT Researchers explain how the new paradigm of a digital healthcare system, as it matures, is putting the picture of the doctor-patient relationship in an entirely new frame and not always in a positive way.  |
