Along Came a Spider--Spinning Silk For Cross-Hairs Spider silk has been used for centuries by various civilizations and for a variety of purposes because of its strength and other remarkable characteristics. In more recent times new uses for it have been found in the support of science. Spiders us...
An Underwater camera, designed to give scientists a better understanding of marine life, will be on display at the Oceans '07 conference in Aberdeen next week. The camera, known as eHolocam, can take 3D images of living organisms and particles without disrupting their natural environment. It is h...

A magnitude 15.9 Type Ia supernova 2007cq, was discovered on the 21st June, 2007, by Jack Newton, Tom Orff, and Tim Puckett in an anonymous galaxy, 2MASX J22144070+0504435, in the constellation Pegasus. The supernova is located 3".3 west and 5".7 north of the centre of the galaxy. P...
An alien bag pipe, creating analogue sound synthesis according to the movement of the tonetacles. this project was developed with the royal college of art and yamaha, but as it is just a prototype it is not produced.
NGC 5135 is a barred spiral, similar in some ways to NGC 1365. Both galaxies are members of the IRAS "Bright Galaxy Sample," meaning that they are very luminous in the infrared as a result of vigorous star-forming activity. Both have very strong bars. Both harbor an active galactic nucl...

Ancient temples suffer quake damage Cracks have been found in an historic 400-year-old temple in the northern province of Chiang Mai following several recent earthquakes, moderate in impact but adding to the cumulative damage suffered over time. Cracks were found in the walls of the over 400-yea...
We're used to seeing transparent vortex chambers in vacuum cleaners, but what about in a liquid rocket engine? Orbitech of Madison, Wisconsin, are doing for rocket engines what Dyson did for vacuum cleaners. In a traditional liquid rocket engine the combustion chamber is cooled by passing fuel t...
Title: Periodic radial velocity variations in RU Lupi
Authors: H.C. Stempels, G.F. Gahm, P.P Petrov
Context. RU Lup is a Classical T Tauri star with unusually strong emission lines, which has been interpreted as manifestations of accretion. Recently, evidence ha...
Materials that change temperature in magnetic fields could lead to new refrigeration technologies that reduce the use of greenhouse gases, thanks to new research at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and Ames National Laboratory. Scientists carrying out X-ray experi...
