Spirals in dust around young stars may betray presence of massive planets

Nuclear membrane repairs the "dark matter" of DNA 

Black hole has major flare

Scientists can now "squeeze" light, a breakthrough that could make computers millions of times faster

I hope the study with Antarctica is accurate. It would be one less thing to worry about as things heat up.

Ice gaining mass instead of losing? I knew global warming was bunk.

Alex, I can't vouch for the Antarctic, but when my husband and I took a cruise to Alaska, we did see signs that the glaciers were shrinking there.
