Washington, September 11 : NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide (CO2) below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate.

When and how global oil production will peak has been debated, making it difficult to anticipate emissions from the burning of fuel and to precisely estimate its impact on climate.

To better understand how emissions might change in the future, Pushker Kharecha and James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York considered a wide range of fossil fuel consumption scenarios.

Washington, September 11: New analysis has revealed that the historic 1843 stellar outburst was in fact, a new type of star explosion that is fainter than a typical supernova and does not destroy the star, and may be common in the universe.

Astronomer Nathan Smith from the University of California (UC), Berkeley, has determined that Eta Carinae’s historic 1843 outburst was, in fact, an explosion that produced a fast blast wave similar to, but less energetic than, a real supernova.

Eta Carinae (ç Car) is a massive, hot, variable star visible only from the Southern Hemisphere, and is located about 7,500 light years from Earth in a young region of star birth called the Carina Nebula.

London, Sept 11 : A woman marine, who was given a "bionic arm" controlled by thought, has got an odd side-effect of her surgery—she can feel hot and cold sensations in her lost limb.

Claudia Mitchell, who has been nicknamed the ‘Bionic Woman’, lost her arm in a 2004 motorcycle accident.

She volunteered to be fitted with the limb in 2006 after she got frustrated with a standard prosthetic, and thus became the first woman to receive a bionic arm, fitted with a pioneering surgical process called ''targeted reinnervation''.

So, the surgeons took nerves from her shoulder and embedded them under muscle in her chest, enabling her to control her hand’s movement by thought via tiny electrical impulses.

Istanbul, September 11 : A team of archaeologists has found ruins of the Temple of Athena in the popular resort town of Bodrum in western Turkey.

Profesor Adnan Diler, who leads the archaeological excavations in the ancient city of Pedasa, told Turkish Press, “We found the Temple of Athena, one of the most important works of arts in Anatolia, in Konacik hamlet in Bodrum.”

On Monday, a latest notebook configuration was launched by Hewlett-Packard. The company claimed that it will provide 24 hours battery runtime that is five hours more than its rival Dell’s laptops.

With the aim to achieve enhanced battery life, HP has installed an EliteBook 6930p along with an Intel solid-state drive; a 14.1-inch LED display that consumes less power than the usual LCD screens in notebooks with an extra 12-cell ultra-capacity battery. The weight of the battery is 1.77 pounds and the users will have to pay an additional $189.

India on Tuesday saw the launch of the most advanced multimedia gadget-Nokia 96, by the mobile and communication giant, Nokia. This exclusive set will be in the market from 15th September, with the price tag of Rs 34,999.

The user will get memory of 16 GB with N-96 that can be further increased to 24GB with an optional microSD card. This enables the user to preserve hours of media and entertainment going on across the world.
