A bit of imagination on the part of a measuring instrument wouldn't be a bad thing. It could help to add data from areas where the instrument is unable to measure. However, it must do so constructively. In order to infer missing data in an astronomical measurement with more than just imagination, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics have formulated a theory of spatial perception...

Researchers reconstruct the evolution of bat migration with the aid of a mathematical modelNot just birds, but also a few species of bats face a long journey every year. Researchers at Princeton University in the U.S. and at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, Germany studied the migratory behavior of the largest extant family of bats, the so-called "Vespertilionidae"...

It's the question I've been asking myself since the University of East Anglia CRU emails surfaced last week. I don't have an answer despite having read about a third of the emails. For guidance I sought out a bongo player-slash-raconteur. Here's the musician riffing on science: "...It is interesting, therefore, to bring it out now and speak of it explicitly. It's a kind of scientific integrity,...

The meeting in Copenhagen is the fifteenth meeting on climate change but it is not the last. The US Senate's inability to pass climate change legislation before international negotiations begin at COP15 does not constitute the end of the process. The Senate's inaction may be profoundly dissapointing, however, the Obama administration has demonstrated its commitment to reducing emissions. COP15 can...

Two-dimensional carbon layers, so-called graphenes, are regarded as a possible substitute for silicon in the semiconductor industry. The electronic properties of these layers can be varied by "building in" specific arrays of holes in their structure. Physicists at Empa, together with chemists from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz have, for the first time, succeeded in...

“..The famed physicist Albert Einstein may no longer be living, but his robotic double almost seems to bring the scientist back to life. The engineers at Hanson Robotics have created a robotic head designed to look like Albert Einstein’s and put it on top of the “HUBO” bipedal robotic frame. The following video demonstrates the intricate facial [...]

Photo by Bullneck The Catholic Church is shaking things up these days, huh? The same Church that silenced Galileo Galilei has acknowledged that aliens could maybe exist . Further, the Church says that xenomorphs might not require redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church is only talking astrobiology in theoretical terms right now, but what's preventing the Vatican from launching...

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter was in the Bronx on Friday, to settle his World Series bet with Mayor Bloomberg. The two mayors decided not to do a cheesesteak-cheesecake bet (Senators Schumer and Gillibrand did that with Senators Casey and Specter) and instead agreed "that the losing mayor would travel to the winning city to join the winning mayor in a volunteer service project, while wearing...

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States. This means that over the coming weekend many Americans will be putting up Christmas decorations in and outside their houses. Many children will be putting finishing touches on their letters to Santa. The shopping malls will start to fill and while economists examine and measure the retail sales bump for signs that the world will not end, we, as a nation,...

* “Learning how to be kind to ourselves, learning how to respect ourselves, is important. The reason it’s important is that, fundamentally, when we look into our own hearts and begin to discover what is confused and what is brilliant, what is bitter and what is sweet, it isn’t just ourselves that we’re discovering. We’re discovering [...] Inspiration from Pema Chodron:...

After I told her, she freaked out :D I made some homemade tortillas for these, and I tried the Mrs. Dash's Steak Seasoning since I like it on steak so much... and it was just as good on the mushrooms. I'm sending this to KO Rasoi's CREATE For a Chilli Chopper...
