Parthenon yields clues to quake-proof design

Japanese scientists will next month look into seismic resistance secrets in the design of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon which has withstood scores of quakes.

GM plants detect landmines and turn red

Genetically-modified plants that turn red when they grow in the presence of explosives are being trailed for their effectiveness to detect landmines.

'Oscars' of science honour Australia's top scientists

A Sydney-based scientist with a new hypothesis on human obesity, based on his research into swarming locusts, has taken one of the top prizes at this year’s Eureka Awards

Seals offer glimpse under Antarctic ice

Huge elephant seals have been recruited to help Australian scientists break through a critical blind spot and chart climate change under the Antarctic sea ice in winter.

Invisibility cloak now within sight

The age-old fantasy of rendering objects invisible took a sharp step toward reality Sunday when scientists said they had created a material that can bend visible light in three dimensions.

Large Hadron Collider to start within weeks

European particle physics laboratory CERN says it will fire up the massive particle accelerator on 10 September, hoping that it could throw light on the origins of the universe.

'Air-purifying' concrete sucks up pollution

A road in a small Dutch town is to be paved with air-purifying concrete in a trial that could lead to a new method to fight exhaust pollution.

Cleaning up CO2 with a twist of lime

A new calculation suggests that adding vast quantities of limestone to the world's oceans could be an effective solution to climate change. Experts remain to be convinced, however.

IM study confirms six degrees of separation

A social graph derived from billions of instant messages validates folklore that there are about six degrees of separation between any two strangers on the planet.

Ancient computer calculated Olympic Games

A clockwork machine hailed as the supercomputer of the ancient world may have provided a calendar for the Olympic Games and has even been linked to early mathematician, Archimedes.

Nano-tools pick out traces of ancient life

Nanoscale views of ancient rocks might help detect traces of Earth's earliest life, say geologists. They looked in great detail at rocks thought to hold Earth's oldest fossils, and found tiny trails likely made by ancient microbes.

Meteor craters may hold untapped wealth

Meteorite impacts not only alter life on Earth, they alter the rocks in ways that can create valuable mining resources. Finding them could speed up the process of locating mineral wealth, says an Australian expert.

'Dinosaur eel' points to future body armour

An extraordinary African fish that inhabits muddy pools, and whose lineage can be traced back 96 million years, could be the model for the light, bomb-proof body armour of the future.

Practical atom laser developed

Australian researchers have created an atom laser that can refuel itself, bringing us a step closer to using them for practical applications, similar to the way optical lasers are currently used in medical and other technologies.

Organic dye turns windows to solar cells

New technology could turn your windows into solar panels or improve the efficiency of existing solar cells, reducing the cost of solar power, says a new report.

Internet flaw could let hackers control Web

Computer industry heavyweights are hustling to fix a flaw in the foundation of the Internet that would let hackers control traffic on the World Wide Web.

Travel offsets a good idea but not popular

Top airlines and tour operators keen to shore up their green credentials nowadays offer customers carbon offsets to compensate holiday pollution. The problem is that few tourists seem eager to write off their 'green guilt'.

Oceans warming faster than we thought

The world's oceans have warmed 50 per cent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and U.S. climate researchers reported yesterday.

Clutch of super-Earths discovered

Five 'super-Earths', each of them many times bigger than our planet, have been discovered in a trio of distant solar systems, European scientists say.

A new look at exotic cosmology phenomena

A high-tech telescope NASA plans to launch tonight will fling open a new window on the universe, exploring extreme sources of gamma-rays that point to powerful and exotic phenomena.

Chinese devise quake prediction methods

Scientists in China are calling for improvements in earthquake prediction, including the establishment of an early-warning system and methods to share quake information.

Curious 'quasiparticles' baffle physicists

Israeli physicists have discovered bizarre 'quasiparticles' which have one quarter the charge of an electron, and may be useful in quantum computing.

Mobile phones reveal maths of human movement

Scientists searching for patterns in seemingly random human movements have found that people, for the most part, go about their daily lives with mathematical regularity.

Nanomembrane rapidly mops up oil spills

Devastating oil spills may one day be mitigated by a paper-thin nanomembrane, which has an incredible affinity for oil, and can soak up 20 times its own weight.

Phoenix flexes robotic arm

NASA's Phoenix Mars lander flexed its robotic arm Thursday in a successful test of the key element in the probe's mission to search for life.
