Water Ice Seen in Fresh Martian Meteor Craters

Some recent meteor pounding on Mars has revealed some craters that show a bit of bright ice exposed at five Martian sites with new craters that range in depth from approximately half a meter to 2.5 meters. The ice was not seen in previous photos of the same sites.
Some of the craters show a [...]

Researchers Crack Flying Insect Aerodynamics

About a month ago I shared a story that I called, Kill Every Fly You See, about some researchers that had discovered how to make micro-flying robots actually fly better than flies. They discovered that rotating wings, rather than flapping wings were more efficient and burned less energy.
Now, another set of researchers, have published [...]

Raptorex: 1/100th Perfect Scale of Descendant T. Rex

A 125 Million year-old dinosaur, standing at just 9-feet tall, shows the features of the great T. Rex.
Raptorex shows that tyrannosaur design evolved at “punk size,” said Sereno, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, “basically our [human] body weight. And that’s pretty staggering, because there’s no other example that I can think of where an animal [...]

Research Finds That Plant and Animal Fossils Not Needed for Crude Oil

Swedish researches at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, have proven that fossils from animals and plants are not necessary for oil and natural gas generation. This is a pretty big deal.
“Using our research we can even say where oil could be found in Sweden,” says Vladimir Kutcherov, a professor at the Division [...]

New Discovery In Earth’s Atmosphere: Solar Wind Energy Transfer

This is going to be a bit technical, and kind of difficult to grasp I would guess, but it is something that is considered quite an important discovery so I want to at least put it out there for people to try and understand. At least describe the finding and what had originally been considered [...]

New Species: Giant Rat!
