Ten-year-old Chandler Harp was playing in the backyard of his Liberal home when he heard what sounded like an explosion about 15 feet from where he was standing. He looked over to see a plume of dirt and debris shoot 5 feet high. At the bottom of a foot-deep hole, he found a 2-inch rock. [url=http://www....
Scientists have shown off an effect not unlike that of the "phasers" in the show Star Trek - but it only works on tiny worms called nematodes. They used a special molecule that, when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, changes its shape. When the worms were fed this molecule and then exposed...

Project Orion was the first engineering design study of a spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion, an idea proposed first by Stanisaw Ulam during 1947. The project, initiated in 1958, envisioned the explosion of atomic bombs behind the craft and was led by Ted Taylor at General Atomics and p...

If such organic thin film whose thickness is of the order of wavelength of light is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode and applied with a voltage...
Small Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are a godsend for urban observers who need a compact scope with a go-to mount and good optics. And "Maks" are back in style, so there's a good selection on the market. But Maks aren't for everyone. Here's how to tell if a Mak is right for you. [url=htt...
