Yet another solar breakthrough- the article goes into detail, but this pretty much sums it up:"Researchers have created a new material that overcomes two of the major obstacles to solar power: it absorbs all the energy contained in sunlight, and generates electrons in a way...
"An international team of researchers has shown that it can control the quantum state of a single electron in a silicon transistor--even putting the electron in two places at once. Their discovery could help pave the way toward a practical quantum computer. Quantum computers...
Alright, alright, I know I will be accused of generalizing but it's almost, almost, a perfect aphorism as well as, well, actually a perfect assessment of the whole wide physical world. Did you notice I...

A zero-emisions spacecraft. The genii at Kampula Space Center have submitted documentation suggesting that it's possible: a positively-charged electron sail that would repel the negatively-charged solar wind, driving the craft away from the sun. Such a craft would have to be...
NASA researchers at Johnson Space Center, Houston have found organic materials that formed in the most distant reaches of the early Solar System preserved in a unique meteorite. The study was performed on the...
