NASA Mars rover views eclipse of the sun by Phobos Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:26 AM PDT Images taken with a telephoto-lens camera on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity catch the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, passing directly in front of the sun -- the sharpest images of a solar eclipse ever taken at Mars.

Spray-on solar cells? New nanoparticles make solar cells cheaper to manufacture Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:24 AM PDT Researchers have found that abundant materials in the Earth's crust can be used to make inexpensive and easily manufactured nanoparticle-based solar cells.

Researchers a step closer to finding cosmic ray origins Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:16 AM PDT The origin of cosmic rays in the universe has confounded scientists for decades. But new information that may help unravel the longstanding mystery of exactly how and where they are produced.

A completely new atomic crystal dynamic of the white pigment titanium dioxide discovered Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:50 AM PDT Researchers have confirmed theoretically-predicted interactions between single oxygen molecules and crystalline titanium dioxide.  The results could be of importance for a variety of applications.

New component in the quantum electronics toolbox: Interface between atoms and superconductors Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:30 AM PDT The coherence of quantum systems is the foundation upon which hardware for future information technologies is based. Quantum information is carried by units called quantum bits, or qubits. They can be used to secure electronic communications -- and they enable very fast searches of databases. But qubits are also very unstable. Scientists have now developed a new electronic component which will help to deal with this problem.

What corporations can learn from Microsoft Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:28 AM PDT A failure to adapt to changes in mobile computing ultimately led to the most recent change at the top of Microsoft. A professor explains how the problems at Microsoft can serve as a lesson for all businesses.

Ultracold big bang experiment successfully simulates evolution of early universe Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:28 AM PDT Physicists have reproduced a pattern resembling the cosmic microwave background radiation in a laboratory simulation of the Big Bang, using ultracold cesium atoms in a vacuum chamber.

Is war really disappearing? New analysis suggests not Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:26 AM PDT While some researchers have claimed that war between nations is in decline, a new analysis suggests we shouldn't be too quick to celebrate a more peaceful world.
