Scientists discover light could exist in a previously unknown form Posted: 05 Aug 2016 06:22 AM PDT New research suggests that it is possible to create a new form of light by binding light to a single electron, combining the properties of both.

Newly discovered 'blue whirl' fire tornado burns cleaner for reduced emissions Posted: 05 Aug 2016 06:21 AM PDT Researchers say their discovery of a type of fire tornado they call a 'blue whirl' could lead to beneficial new approaches for reduced carbon emissions and improved oil spill cleanup.

Veins on Mars were formed by evaporating ancient lakes Posted: 05 Aug 2016 05:57 AM PDT Mineral veins found in Mars's Gale Crater were formed by the evaporation of ancient Martian lakes, a new study has shown.

Do black holes have a back door? Posted: 05 Aug 2016 05:57 AM PDT One of the biggest problems when studying black holes is that the laws of physics as we know them cease to apply in their deepest regions. Large quantities of matter and energy concentrate in an infinitely small space, the gravitational singularity, where space-time curves towards infinity and all matter is destroyed. Or is it? A recent study suggests that matter might in fact survive its foray into these space objects and come out the other side.
