The problem with hydrogen fuel cells is that they have a relatively low efficiency and high production costs. Still, scientists have tested several combinations of metals and materials in order to overcome this challenge.

A team lead by Shouheng Sun, professor of chemistry at Brown, has discovered that by shaping platinum into a cube enhances [...]

Dr Richard Helmer from CSIRO Textile and Fibre technology is working on developing a sleeve that would help Australian netball and basketball players to aim at the goal better.

Founded in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), replaced the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Since then, NASA began to explore the outer space, and, on May 5 1961, Alan Shepard was the first man to travel outside our atmosphere for 15 minutes.

This year, NASA is going to celebrate its 50 [...]

The ESA-NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has proved to be an extraordinary spacecraft for studying solar flares. Data that was retrieved clearly shows that powerful starquakes ripple around the Sun, being caused by the solar flares which explode above its surface.
By discovering how the ripples move around the Sun has allowed scientists to gain [...]
