American Scientist reported, Icebergs drifting around Antarctica are “ecological hotspots” that trigger blooms of carbon dioxide-absorbing phytoplankton. The melting of Antarctic ice shelves is contributing to rising sea levels and other climate change dynamics in complex ways. This additional role of removing carbon from the atmosphere may have implications for global climate models. Far from [...]

Global Resource Corporation (GRC), a US company is taking plastics recycling to another level – turning them back into the oil they were made from, and gas. New Scientist reported, all that needed in this process is a finely tuned microwave and – hey presto! – a mix of materials that were made from oil [...]

The mission of NASA to investigate “night shining” or noctilucent clouds has enter a new scientific breakthrough. According to the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite’s view, these clouds float 80 kilometres above the ground and are made of tiny ice crystals. Noctilucent clouds can be seen from the ground with the naked [...]

American scientist reported, Jupiter’s cloud patterns are undergoing dramatic changes. Hubble Space Telescope had revealed the new images. This images show a very detail change that never been explained. Hubble has been keeping an eye on Jupiter to provide context for close-up observations made by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, which flew by the solar system’s largest [...]

Stem cells have been extracted from cloned monkey embryos for the first time - and if it works in monkey cells, why not in human cells too? This is the part of one step closer to reality movement in human therapeutic cloning. The breakthrough was announced on 18 June at a meeting of the International Society [...]
