Researchers have created a new technology which will convert alcohols, such as ethanol straight to hydrocarbons, which can be used as as fossil fuel alternatives, according to a study at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Scientists have made the first ever direct images that show that electrical currents can flow along the boundaries between tiny magnetic regions of a material that doesn't normally conduct electricity.
Researchers recently discovered a new far-off world that's weather is made up of hot dust and droplets of molten iron. The mysterious world is about 20 million years old.
