Origin Of Perennial Water-ice At South Pole Of Mars
Thanks to data from ESA's Mars Express mission, combined with models of the Martian climate, scientists can now suggest how the orbit of Mars around the sun affects the deposition of water-ice at the Martian South Pole. Engineers Discover Why Toucan Beaks Are Models Of Lightweight Strength
In a paper to be published Dec. 1 in Acta Materialia, researchers report that the secret to the toucan beak's lightweight strength is an unusual bio-composite. The interior of the beak is rigid "foam"made of bony fibers and drum-like membranes sandwiched between layers of keratin, the protein that makes up fingernails, hair, and horn. A Boost For Solar Cells With Photon Fusion
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz have developed a process with which longwave light from a normal light source can be converted to shortwave light. NYU Chemists Use Computer Simulation To Enhance Understanding Of DNA T
New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, appears in the June 7 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
