PURDUE SCIENTIST DEFENDS HIS FUSION WORK, March 09 A Purdue University scientist says he will cooperate with a university review of his work in which he claims to have achieved fusion. (see "Purdue investigates professor's tabletop nuclear fusion research") Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news11578.html
THE UNUSUAL INSULATING PROPERTIES OF A SUPERCONDUCTOR, March 09 Since their discovery, high-temperature superconductors, a class of remarkable materials that conduct electricity with almost zero resistance, have perplexed scientists. Despite many, many studies, how these materials do what they do is still not well understood. At the National Synchrotron Light Source, scientists have discovered a perhaps odd, yet important clue to the puzzle - that a common high-temperature superconductor actually has distinct insulating properties.

NASA FINDS STRONGER STORMS CHANGE HEAT AND RAINFALL WORLDWIDE, March 09 Studies have shown that over the last 40 years, a warming climate has been accompanied by fewer rain- and snow-producing storms in mid-latitudes around the world, but the storms that are happening are a little stronger with more precipitation. A new analysis of global satellite data suggests that these storm changes are affecting strongly the Earth's water cycle and air temperatures and creating contrasting cooling and warming effects in the atmosphere.

MASS EXTINCTIONS - A THREAT FROM OUTER SPACE OR OUR OWN PLANET'S DETOX?, March 09 University of Leicester scientists suggest extraterrestrial theories are flawed and that more down to earth factors could have accounted for past mass extinctions. Earth history has been punctuated by several mass extinctions rapidly wiping out nearly all life forms on our planet. What causes these catastrophic events? Are they really due to meteorite impacts? Current research suggests that the cause may come from within our own planet - the eruption of vast amounts of lava that brings a cocktail of gases from deep inside the Earth and vents them into the atmosphere.

SCIENTISTS WORKING TOWARD BETTER BATTERIES, March 09 As more and more people rely on cell phones, laptop computers, personal organizers, and even hybrid electric-gas vehicles, scientists are working to develop rechargeable batteries that are ever smaller, cheaper, lighter, safer, and longer-lasting.

ADVANCE HASTENS PRACTICALITY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, etc. (Score: 1) by vlad on Sunday, March 12, 2006 @ 15:49:27 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | ADVANCE HASTENS PRACTICALITY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, March 02 Nobody completely understands superconductors. So fathom how James S. Schilling, Ph.D., led a team that makes the phenomenon work better. Schilling, a professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, collaborated with recent doctoral graduate Takahiro Tomita and scientists at Argonne (Ill.) National Laboratory to determine whether one region in superconductors, called grain boundaries (GB), are oxygen deficient. Such oxygen deficiency impairs superconductor performance.

RECORD-BREAKING LUMINOSITY BOOSTS DISCOVERY POTENTIAL AT FERMILAB'S TEVATRON COLLIDER, March 03 The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra dimensions to new limits. Repeatedly smashing peak luminosity records, the Tevatron has created record numbers of proton-antiproton collisions that provide the means to unveil the secrets of the universe.

GIGANTIC COSMIC CATACLYSM IN STEPHAN'S QUINTET OF GALAXIES, March 03 Recent infrared observations made with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have revealed the presence of a huge intergalactic shock wave, or "sonic boom" in the middle of Stephan's Quintet, a group of galaxies which is now the scene of a gigantic cosmic cataclysm. This discovery, made by an international research team including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg, provides a local view of what might have been going on in the early universe, when vast mergers and collisions between galaxies were commonplace.

NASA BASIC RESEARCH LOSES FUNDING, March 03 Manned space flight efforts have drained funds from National Aeronautics and Space Administration research some scientists consider more important. Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news11375.html
NANO WORLD: NANO ORIGAMI SUPERCAPACITORS, March 10 Origami with features just nanometers or billionths of a meter large can fold into electrically chargeable supercapacitors, experts told UPI's Nano World. Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news11625.html
UPDATE: PURDUE UNIVERSITY INVESTIGATING 'SONOFUSION' CLAIMS, March 10 Purdue University said it is reviewing research claims that sound waves can create cold nuclear fusion, after doubts were raised on nuclear engineering professor Rusi Taleyarkhan's methods.
