NASA scientists are set to announce extremely compelling evidence that there has or may still be microbial life on Mars. A Martian meteorite found in 1984, but which hit the Earth 13, 000 years ago having previously spent millions of years in space, contains what are almost certainly fossilized bacteria - extra terrestrial life. It's stunning and fascinating news. In itself it doesn't mean that life...

Take a look up in the night sky. Whether on a mountaintop, largely unfazed by light pollution, or wedged in the heart of a muddied-sky metropolis, thank your lucky stars that you can see anything at all. A new study investigating the disruptive effects of galaxies merging or tugging on each other shows that there should be numerous stars thrown from their habitual confines during such interactions...

Rocket science is opening new doors to understanding how sounds associated with Navy sonar might affect the hearing of a marine mammal – or if they hear it at all.The same type of large industrial sized X-ray scanners that NASA uses to detect flaws in the space shuttle’s behemoth solid fuel rockets is now allowing scientists to peek inside the giant head of a whale.

Space fans can today play a cosmic fruit machine to help astronomers understand the biggest pile-ups in the universe. A new website produced by scientists at Oxford and in the US lets the "gamblers" bring up photos of dramatic collisions between galaxies. Astronomers say the "game" will deliver them the real prize of learning how these cities of stars form and evolve. They want...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has contributed to the discovery of the youngest brown dwarf ever observed -- a finding that, if confirmed, may solve an astronomical mystery about how these cosmic misfits are formed. Brown dwarfs are misfits because they fall somewhere between planets and stars in terms of their temperature and mass. They are cooler and more lightweight than stars and more massive...

It may not have taken a rocket scientist (or aficionado) to have guessed that the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch and NASA tweetup would cause a spike in Twitter traffic. What is surprising is that it wasn't the most-tweeted NASA story of the past week--that honor goes to the announcement of the discovery of water on the Moon.

The mission that plunged a rocket into the moon's surface last month detected about 25 gallons of water in the form of vapor and ice -- enough to inspire hope for a lunar colony. Scientists have found "significant" amounts of water in a crater at the moon's south pole, a major discovery that will dramatically revise the characterization of the moon as a dead world and likely make it a more...

Pharmaceutical companies are facing ultimate challenge to increase efficiency of drug discovery pipeline to keep up with market demands. Failure of clinical candidates as well as withdrawal of approved and marketed drugs due the undesired effects , or so-called adverse drug reactions (ADRs)- are forcing companies to look on where they can fill the gap. A recent paper in Journal of Chemical Information
