After seven years of theoretical work and raising money, five months of design, five months of construction and assembly, and a week of testing, Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) now has a functioning dense plasma focus, Focus-Fusion-1. "This isn't a demonstration of scientific feasibility...

he gamma-ray sky comes alive in a movie made from data acquired by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope during its first three months of operations. Gamma rays from sources near and far turn the sky into a hypnotic froth. The sun arcs serenely across the northern sky as active galaxies called...

During its first year of operations, NASA's Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope mapped the extreme sky with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. It captured more than 1,000 discrete sources of gamma rays -- the highest-energy form of light. Capping these achievements was a measurement that...

MESSENGER gets closest-ever look at solar-flare neutrons For the first time, scientists observed the neutron output from an average-sized solar flare. On December 31, 2007, the Sun awoke from the relatively quiescent period between solar cycles 23 and 24 to produce a solar flare that spewed...

BOUT TIME!!:lmfao::naughty: Researchers have discovered a magnetic equivalent to electricity: single magnetic charges that can behave and interact like electrical ones. The work is the first to make use of the magnetic monopoles that exist in special crystals known as spin ice. Writing in...

A dramatic new vista of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory exposes new levels of the complexity and intrigue in the galactic center. The mosaic of 88 Chandra pointings represents a freeze-frame of the spectacle of stellar evolution, from bright young stars...

German scientists investigating the complex chemical mixture thought to be present in early Earth's oceans have found that amino acids can be 'cooked' into many other important chemical building blocks of life when embedded in salt crusts. Approximately 3.8 to 4.5 billion years ago, a salty...

Studies of features in Jupiter's spectacular and rapidly changing aurorae have given new insights into the complex electromagnetic interactions between the giant planet and two of its innermost moons. As Ganymede and Io orbit Jupiter, they interact with regions of plasma and generate...

New photographs of the center of the Milky Way reveal the chaotic environment at the heart of our galaxy, where a supermassive black hole is thought to lurk. The close-up views come from two recent projects - one undertaken by an amateur astronomer. Stephane Guisard, an engineer at the European...

Star Trek is partly true: transparent metals in core of planet Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Back to the old habit of giving science fiction stories scientists food for thought. In Hamburg (Germany) is one of the constatatie metals that may be transparent, as was suggested in Star Trek IV: The...

Solar energy, universally applicable. Tuesday, July 21, 2009 The Solar Future. The first major solar energy conference of this century in the Netherlands took place on April 22, 2009 in Rotterdam: The Solar Future. This day was organized by Johan Trip and Edwin Koot of Solar Plaza...

Lyme, an alternative protocol This may be important information for those with Chronic Lyme or who have no insurance and no way to pay for conventional Lyme treatment. Always, if you can, see a Lyme literate physician. That being said, I would get a good diagnosis and treat myself as many...

Huge breeding of stars discovered in our galaxy June 23, 2009 A team of researchers at a distance of fourteen thousand light years from our planet a vast star field found previously was hidden behind a thick dust. It is one of the largest of its kind in our galaxy and can be more about how...

Interstellar Boundary Explorer detects neutral hydrogen coming from the Moon Solar wind particles impact only the dayside of the Moon, where most of them are embedded in the lunar surface. NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft has made the first observations of fast hydrogen...

As a basis of all life we have to foremost understand that there is a reason for the existence of the universe and all life within it. Just as your scientists and your religions say, at the beginning there was only one. According to your scientists there had been a unity of original gases, a...

All matter consists of "mini-black holes? May 20/2009 In the 70s, Stephen Hawking has suggested that it was lousy with mini black holes in the universe, who created it during the big bang. Just after the big bang the universe experienced a period of rapid expansion, with a violent impact on...

Unknown object is constantly hitting the earth with cosmic radiation Wednesday, May 6, 2009 Data from different observatories on the Earth's surface and in the area indicate the presence of a nearby object that cosmic radiation in our direction goes forward. Researchers engaged in missions...

Mimivirus is a viral genus containing a single identified species named Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV). In colloquial speech, APMV is more commonly referred to as just “mimivirus”. It has the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses, as well as a large and complex genome compared...

Neutron star crust is ten billion times as strong as steel Thursday, April 16, 2009 From only performed simulations shows that the crust of neutron is over ten billion times as strong as steel, which means that the surface of this very dense objects are strong enough to flatten the star...
