| A giant stellar void in the Milky Way Posted: 01 Aug 2016 06:03 PM PDT A major revision is required in our understanding of our Milky Way Galaxy according to an international team. Astronomers have found that there is a huge region around the center of our own galaxy, which is devoid of young stars. |
| Restoring prairie and fighting wildfire with (drone launched) fire(balls) Posted: 01 Aug 2016 01:50 PM PDT One ecologist wants to change the way we think about prescribed burns. The professor says he can harness extreme fire to restore grasslands on the Great Plains -- and he has created a small drone that launches ping-pong balls of fire to help him do it safely and cheaply. |
| Is Earthly life premature from a cosmic perspective? Posted: 01 Aug 2016 08:39 AM PDT The universe is 13.8 billion years old, while our planet formed just 4.5 billion years ago. Some scientists think this time gap means that life on other planets could be billions of years older than ours. However, new theoretical work suggests that present-day life is actually premature from a cosmic perspective. |
| First wave-propelled robot swims, crawls and climbs using a single, small motor Posted: 01 Aug 2016 08:04 AM PDT The first single actuator wave-like robot (SAW) has been developed. The 3D-printed robot can move forward or backward in a wave-like motion, moving much like a worm would in a perpendicular wave. |
| Origins of the female orgasm explained Posted: 01 Aug 2016 06:29 AM PDT Female orgasm seems to be a happy afterthought of our evolutionary past when it helped stimulate ovulation, a new study of mammals shows. |
