Sign Of 'Embryonic Planets'Forming In Nearby Stellar Systems
Astronomers are pointing to three nearby stars they say may hold "embryonic planets"-- a missing link in planet-formation theories. As scientists try to piece together how our own planet came to be, they look to the forming planets of other star systems for clues. But astronomers have been unable to find evidence for one of the key stages of planet development, a period early in the planet's formation when it is only as large as tiny Pluto. Sony Gets Real on Virtual Goods
The trade of virtual goods in massively multiplayer online games is becoming big, big business. Sony's about to grab a piece of the action with the first official auction site for virtual gewgaws. By Daniel Terdiman. Muskellunge Numbers Drop As Virus Invades St. Lawrence River
When fisheries researchers monitored St. Lawrence River (North America) muskellunge during the spring spawning run in 2003, they had more than 40 of the keystone predators to measure and tag. Only 12 were captured in 2006. This year, there were four. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia is affecting the St. Lawrence River ecosystem in many ways. Chemotherapy Options Improve For Patients With Advanced Colorectal Can
For the first time, researchers have shown that a chemotherapy regimen of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) is as safe and effective as infusional 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid plus oxaliplatin (FUFOX) in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma (MCRC). The findings are reported today at the 2nd ESMO Scientific &Educational Conference (ESEC) in Budapest, Hungary. Cosmic-Ray Detectors, Klystron Accelerators and More From SC07
The supercomputing conference in Reno satisfies even the fiercest lust for processing power. Check out the server muscle behind some of the biggest science in the world. Chandra Independently Determines Hubble Constant
A critically important number that specifies the expansion rate of the Universe, the so-called Hubble constant, has been independently determined using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This new value matches recent measurements using other methods and extends their validity to greater distances, thus allowing astronomers to probe earlier epochs in the evolution of the Universe. Brain Imaging Study May Hold Clues To Onset Of Schizophrenia In People
Images of brain activity may hold clues to the onset of schizophrenia in people at high risk for the disease, according to a study headed by psychiatry researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. What's Hot In Tax Forms, Publications, and Other Tax Products

'Flying Fish'Unmanned Aircraft Takes Off And Lands On Water
Flying fish were the inspiration for an unmanned seaplane with a 7-foot wingspan just developed. The autonomous craft is believed to be the first seaplane that can initiate and perform its own takeoffs and landings on water. Novel Protein Complex Enables Survival In Hostile Environment
Biswarup Mukhopadhyay and Eric Johnson from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have discovered a novel enzyme that represents an ancient detoxification system and provides a clue to the development of early metabolism on earth.
