| Hubble detects 'exocomets' taking the plunge into a young star Posted: 06 Jan 2017 01:30 PM PST Interstellar forecast for a nearby star: Raining comets! NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered comets plunging onto the star HD 172555, which is a youthful 23 million years old and resides 95 light-years from Earth. |
| Solar storms could spark soils at moon's poles Posted: 06 Jan 2017 12:09 PM PST Powerful solar storms can charge up the soil in frigid, permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles, and may possibly produce 'sparks' that could vaporize and melt the soil, perhaps as much as meteoroid impacts, according to new research. This alteration may become evident when analyzing future samples from these regions that could hold the key to understanding the history of the moon and solar system. |
| The technological potential of earwax Posted: 06 Jan 2017 06:25 AM PST Scientists are seeing potential in some sort of biomimetic earwax adhesive surface that can be used in a ventilation system for robotics or for other kinds of machinery. |
| DNA nanotubes build a bridge between two molecular posts Posted: 05 Jan 2017 09:31 AM PST Researchers have coaxed DNA nanotubes to assemble themselves into bridge-like structures arched between two molecular landmarks on the surface of a lab dish. |
