Users, Developers Get Used to Facebook Redesign

One of the biggest impacts of the new Facebook redesign will be on third-party developers, whose products now appear on an Facebook applications tab instead of directly on users' profile pages. Facebook developers are waiting with bated breath to see how the redesign impacts their programs.

Asteroid BB Gun

Meteors, Comets and Asteroids Summary (May 10, 2008): Researchers confirm that asteroid impacts can strike with enough force to liquefy carbon deep in the Earth's crust and eject it skyward to form beads that then blanket the planet. The finding is helping scientists interpret how past impacts effected life on Earth.

New NASA Study Links Humans to Changes On Earth

A new NASA-led study shows human-caused climate change has made an impact on a wide range of Earth's natural systems, including permafrost thawing, plants blooming earlier across Europe, and lakes declining in productivity in Africa. Researchers at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science and 10 other institutions have linked varying impacts since 1970 with rises in temperatures during that period. "Humans are influencing climate through increasing greenhouse gas emissions," said Cynthia Rosenzweig, lead author of the study. "The warming is causing impacts on physical and biological systems that are now attributable at the global scale and in North America, Europe, and Asia."

Asteroid Impacts On Earth: A Protection Plan

A century ago this week, an event in far-off Siberia rang a cosmic wake-up call for Earth. That explosive event over remote Tunguska is generally viewed by scientists as a large space rock that pierced through the atmosphere of Siberia, then detonated to flatten some 2,000 square kilometers of trees.

Asteroid Impacts on Earth: A Protection Plan

One hundred years ago this week, a huge explosion took place in the atmosphere over Tunguska. Today, there is a low probability -- but not zero -- that an asteroid loitering out there in space has Earth's name on it. A melding of technology and space governance could negate such events from happening in the future.

Midwest Flooding Impacts African-American Museum in Iowa, but Many Black Areas Spared

The African-American Museum of Iowa sits on a hill above the Cedar River in Des Moines, but higher ground wasn’t enough to shield it from raging floods.

Public funding impacts stem cell research

A new study finds the United States produces more embryonic stem cell research than any other nation, but when compared with other forms of research it lags.

Public funding impacts stem cell research

ATLANTA, June 10 (UPI) -- A new study finds the United States produces more embryonic stem cell research than any other nation, but when compared with other forms of research it lags.

Public funding impacts progress of human embryonic stem cell research

Bolstered by supportive policies and public research dollars, the United Kingdom, Israel, China, Singapore and Australia are producing unusually large shares of human embryonic stem cell research, according to a report from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the June 2008 issue Cell Stem Cell.

Public funding impacts progress of human embryonic stem cell research

Bolstered by supportive policies and public research dollars, the United Kingdom, Israel, China, Singapore and Australia are producing unusually large shares of human embryonic stem cell research, according to a report from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the June 2008 issue Cell Stem Cell. Aaron Levine, assistant professor of public policy and author of the book Cloning: A Beginner's Guide, studied how countries output of research papers related to human embryonic stem cell research compared to their output in less contentious fields. He found that even though the United States still puts out far more research in this field than any other single country, when one compares the amount of research in human embryonic stem cells to other forms of research in molecular biology and genetics, the U.

On this date in 1994 - Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impacts Jupiter

On this date in 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope photographed the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter.

Study Puts Solar Spin on Asteroids, their Moons & Earth Impacts

Asteroids with moons, which scientists call binary asteroids, are common in the solar system. A longstanding question has been how most such moons are formed. A trio of astronomers from Maryland and France say the surprising answer is sunlight. Their findings match observations and give information important for deflecting threatening asteroids away from Earth.
