Until we recognize the essential role of biology, our attempts to truly unify the universe will remain a train to nowhere. ~Robert Lanza Read More
Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account. ~Anne Wilson Schaef Read More
The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved. ~Richard Rogers Read More
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. ~Albert Einstein Read More
Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes. ~Marianne Williamson Read More

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The digital design of our everyday computers is good for reading email and gaming, but today’s problem-solving computers are working with vast amounts of data...

Astronomers spying on a stellar system located dozens of lightyears from Earth have, for the first time, observed a troubling fireworks show: A star, named EK Draconis, ejected a massive burst of energy and charged particles much more powerful than anything scientists have seen in our own solar system.
The researchers, including astrophysicist Yuta Notsu of the University of Colorado Boulder, will publish their results Dec. 9 in the journal Nature Astronomy.
The study explores a stellar phenomenon called a “coronal mass ejection,” sometimes known as a solar storm...

Debilitating cluster headaches commonly begin in childhood, but patients are not typically diagnosed until they are adults, according to research from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston).
A team of researchers led by Mark Burish, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the Vivian L. Smith Department of Neurosurgery with McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, conducted the Cluster Headache Questionnaire, an international, internet-based survey of 1,604 participants with cluster headache...

By removing electricity from equation, discovery overcomes yearslong hurdle in robotics. Scientists at Berkeley Lab and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated the first self-powered, aqueous robot that runs continuously without electricity. The technology has potential as an automated chemical synthesis or drug delivery system for pharmaceuticals.
When you think of a robot, images of R2-D2 or C-3PO might come to mind. But robots can serve up more than just entertainment on the big screen. In a lab, for example, robotic systems can improve safety and efficiency by performing repetitive tasks and handling harsh chemicals.
But before a robot can...
