WASHINGTON — NASA's Voyager 1, launched in 1977, appears to be on the verge of becoming the first spacecraft to leave the solar system and begin a new journey in outer space, experts say.Scientists are intrigued by the recent increase in cosmic rays hitting the spacecraft, which for decades has snapped images of the Earth and other planets in the solar system as it makes its long journey into outer space."The latest data from Voyager 1 indicate that we are clearly in a new region where things…See More

THE Federal Government is to partner the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) in the exploitation of the abundant potentials in renewable energy.This was made known yesterday at a capacity building workshop organised in Abuja, by the UNIDO Regional Centre for Small Hydro Power in Africa. The Director General of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Dr. Mohammed Sani Abubakar said that building capacity in this sector “has been a major…See More

NASA scientists working on the Kepler Mission have discovered an unprecedented solar system, in which two planets with vastly different densities and compositions are locked in a surprisingly close orbit around their star. The finding shows that there is much greater diversity in the composition of solar systems than we'd previously thought.Prior to our discovery of exoplanets, our solar system offered a standard blueprint for astronomers speculating about what other solar systems might look…See More

e National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently studied how renewable energy can respond to the electricity demands of the U.S. in the coming decades.The report, titled Renewable Electricity Futures Study (RE Futures), looks at the effects of renewable electricity generation levels between 30% to 90%, envisioning 80% renewable electricity by 2050. It considers key factors such as physical geographies and output…See More

TEHRAN (FNA)- A new finding that motor cortex is a dynamic pattern generator upends existing theory with broad implications for neuroscience. Unlike their visual cousins, the neurons that control movement are not a predictable bunch. Scientists working to decode how such neurons convey information to muscles have been stymied when trying to establish a one-to-one relationship between a neuron's behavior and external factors such as muscle activity or movement velocity. In an article published…See More

When Microsoft released a security advisory detailing a critical flaw in Microsoft XML Core Services and its corresponding "Fix it" mitigation solution last week, it made sure to note that it was aware of the flaw being misused in "active attacks". Now, less than a week later, the Metasploit exploit framework has been…See More
