Washington, April 6 : US engineers are developing the next-generation of firefighting equipment specially designed to work in microgravity to douse out fires in space stations.
According to a report in Discovery News, with a new spaceship under development, NASA is investing in next-generation fire-fighting gear that is specially designed to work in microgravity.
London, April 6 : A team of scientists has discovered a new bacterium that feeds on electricity and uses it to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane, which could then be stored and burned when needed.
According to a report in New Scientist, Bruce Logan's team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park discovered the bacterium.
When living on the cathode of an electrolytic cell, the organism can take in electrons and use their energy to convert carbon dioxide into methane.
London, April 6: Latest reports indicate that an ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to two islands in Antarctica has snapped, which could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf is on the brink of breaking away.
According to a report by BBC News, scientists say the collapse provides further evidence of rapid change caused by warming in the region.
Sited on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins shelf has been retreating since the 1990s.
Washington, April 6: The world’s first cocktail party might have taken place in Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago, if researchers are to be believed.
Researchers at the Pennsylvania University, Philadelphia, have came to this conclusion after studying the evolution of viticulture in the East and West.
They have found some earthenware along the Tigris river showing traces of tartaric acid (an element which is characteristic of the grape fermentation), honey, apple juice, and brew barley (a sort of beer ante litteram).
Sydney - Australians have tried all sorts of ways to stop the continent's coastal fringe being colonized by cane toads. There's cane toad golf, there are cane toad fences and even cane toad bounties.
But the South American imports, introduced into north Queensland in 1935 to control beetles infesting sugar cane fields, seem unstoppable.
They have hopped into the tropical north and are working their way west in their millions.
