Plesiosaurs Swam Like Penguins

PHYSICS & MATH Simulation resulted on a swimming movement of Plesiosaurs as penguin-like. The plesiosaurs has something in common with the penguins. Both creatures share the same mechanical movements when it comes to swimming.

Predicting Tumor Growth Through Math

Recently, mathematicians from Duke University suggest that correct mathematical calculations of the actual tumor growth might help healthcare practitioners deal with the deadly disease.

Mathematical Formula Explains Why Ice Is Slippery

A new mathematical model for the frictional shear stress of ice explains why ice is slippery. It is still a scientific mystery why ice, with it being a solid material, is slippery.

Selling His Most Prized Possession-The Nobel Prize

Retired experimental physicist Leon Lederman is now 92 years old and facing serious health problems and memory loss. So he took to an online auction and sold his 1988 Nobel prize for his co-discovery of subatomic particle called the muon neutrino to cover his costs. The price of Nobel fame online? $765,002.

Transmitting Information At The Speed Of Light, Almost

University of Utah engineers have taken a big step toward computing at the speed of light. Their research will help create the next generation of computers and mobile devices-devices that will be capable of speeds millions of times faster than machines are now.

CERN Scientists Discover the Force

The best and worst of April Fools' pranks from around the Web. The first of April always brings out the prankster in people - even scientists. From the prestigious CERN declaring that The Force exists to Google displaying a fully reversed version of the search engine's homepage at com.

Ants Continue to Colonize Even When in Space

Developing Algorithms from Ants in Space Space, the final frontier; these are the voyages of ants. No seriously, back in January the International Space Station received a shipment of ants.

Can Magnetism Bend Heat And Sound? Study Reveals A New Dimension to Magnetic Fields

For many years researchers have sought to discover just how many uses magnetic fields can have. To date they have become essential in quantum computing, they are vital in medical imaging, and astronomers have even used natural magnetism to amplify the signals of light from far off supernovae and galaxies so that we here on Earth can see them hundreds or thousands of light-years away. But in a new study from researchers at Ohio State University, nanotechnologists have revealed that magnetic fields can impact our lives in far more real ways—controlling heat and sound waves that exhibit magnetic properties of their own.
