  • Schrödinger's Cat Alive And Dead In Two Boxes At Once

    Schrödinger's Cat Alive And Dead In Two Boxes At Once
    Yale University researchers have taken one of the most famous thought experiments one step further in analysis, finding Schrödinger's cat would be both alive and dead in two boxes at once. How could this help change the future of computing?  ( Getty Images | Richard Chowden | Stringer ) Schrödinger's cat may be both alive and dead in the famous thought experiment concerning physics, but now Yale University researchers have come to an even more bizarre conclusion. The theoretical ..

  • NASA Hits Snag While Inflating Space Station's New BEAM Habitat

    NASA Hits Snag While Inflating Space Station's New BEAM Habitat
    NASA called off attempts to inflate the first privately built expandable room on the International Space Station (ISS) today (May 26) after early efforts to pump up the module didn't go exactly as planned.  The inflatable room, called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), is an experimental habitat built by the company Bigelow Aerospace. NASA wants to study the technology for future deep-space habitats, while Bigelow Aerospace has its sights set on private space stations and mo..

  • Does feeding cattle antibiotics contribute to global warming?

    Does feeding cattle antibiotics contribute to global warming?
    Feeding antibiotics to farm animals may be another factor in global warming, according to a new study published this week that found higher amounts of methane, a gas well known to contribute to global warming, in the manure of cattle fed the now-common drugs."To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of antibiotics increasing methane emissions," the international team of researchers wrote in a study published Wednesday in the Proceedings for the Royal Society B. The antibiotics kil..

  • OC, LA Counties Have 4 of 10 Dirtiest Beaches In California, Report Says

    OC, LA Counties Have 4 of 10 Dirtiest Beaches In California, Report Says
    SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) — Ocean water quality at Southern California beaches continues to improve in part because the drought causes less rain runoff, according to a report released Thursday by Heal the Bay. But Los Angeles and Orange counties are still home to 4 of the 10 most-polluted beaches in the state, the environmental group said. According to its “2015-16 Beach Report Card,” 92 percent of Los Angeles County’s 88 beaches scored A or B grades in terms of pollutants during the summer mon..

  • Mars is emerging from an ice age that ended about 400000 years ago

    Mars is emerging from an ice age that ended about 400000 years ago
    Mars is emerging from an ice age, according to a new study. Studying the Martian climate and how it changes over time can help scientists better plan future missions to Mars and even understand climate change here on Earth, the study authors say. Models had already predicted that Mars underwent several rounds of ice ages in the past, but little physical measurements ever confirmed those predictions. Today’s study, published in the journal Science, is the first to map the ice deposits on the nor..
