    Solar storm on Jupiter makes brilliant X-ray auroras shine
    Scientists observed Jupiter’s X-ray aurora – its “northern lights” – for the first time during the onslaught of a solar storm, with parts flaring to eight times as bright as normal.The observations helped scientists understand how Earth interacts with these enormous solar storms and solar winds, while also shedding light on fundamental planetary processes.The new study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Space Physics, also provides a prelude to NASA’s Juno mission, set ..

    Material that recycles sunlight could be next big leap for solar cells
    Materials Material that recycles sunlight could be next big leap for solar cells Michael Franco March 25, 2016 If the rest of us have to recycle things like our milk cartons, junk mail and beer bottles, shouldn't solar cells have to abide by the same rules? That's part of the thinking in new research that's just come out of the University of Cambridge. Researchers there have discovered that ..

    NASA and Harvard Experts Find Climate Change Has Fundamentally Altered French Wine Harvests
    Photo by: Thinkstock/fotoluk1983 French vintners have been picking grapes earlier in recent decades, and climate change is a major factor. After looking at more than 400 years of harvest and climate data from France and Switzerland, researchers from Harvard University and NASA have concluded that in recent decades, warmer temperatures have pushed wine grape harvests in those countries more than 10 days earlier than in the period from 1600 to 1980—regardless of whether the growing seasons b..

    Blowing Tiny Bubbles Through Seawater Could Help Protect Coral Reefs
    Stanford scientists have discussed a way of dealing with neutralizing human activities that turn oceans acidic: blowing tiny bubbles. Blowing bubbles, they say, removes carbon dioxide (CO2) off coastal marine areas and transports it to the atmosphere, ...

  • Rings Of Saturn (And Moons) May Be Younger Than The Dinosaurs

    Rings Of Saturn (And Moons) May Be Younger Than The Dinosaurs
    The rings of Saturn are the most distinctive feature of the planet, but a new study shows they may be significantly younger than expected. How did astronomers determine when these satellites formed?(Photo : NASA) Saturn is known for its magnificent network of rings, but a group of astronomers now believes that system did not exist until sometime after the age of dinosaurs began here on Earth. The vast family of satellites surrounding the gas giant may also be relatively young, according to a n..

    Now clean your dirty clothes with sunlight
    You must have heard of solar technology, you must have read about different uses of sunlight. But what if we tell you that soon sunlight will be used to clean off your clothes, ending all your washing woes. Yes, its true! A spot of sunshine is all it could take to clean your clothes within minutes, as scientists, including those of Indian-origin, have developed a low-cost, efficient way to grow nanostructures on textiles that can degrade organic matter when exposed to light. The research fro..
