Cornell Research into Dragonfly Micro-Air Vehicle (MAV)
"From houseflies to honeybees, insects inspire us with flight skills just beyond the grasp of our technology. Z. Jane Wang, a professor at Cornell University, is working to close this gap between inspiration and implementation. Wang�s recent work is on dragonflies, and here she has found some peculiarities."

The Speed of Gravity
Between gravity and ordinary forces of nature lies the geometric effect of curved space-time; the article describes in details the standard experimental techniques that yield propagation speeds too great to measure when conducted on gravity.

Quantum computer solves problem, without running
Using an optical-based quantum computer, a research team led by physicist Paul Kwiat has presented the first demonstration of "counterfactual computation," inferring information about an answer, even though the computer did not run.

Mathematical proofs getting harder to verify
A mathematical proof is irrefutably true, a manifestation of pure logic. But an increasing number of mathematical proofs are now impossible to verify with absolute certainty, according to experts in the field.

Bose-Einstein Condensates for Computation?
Physicists in France and Italy have found possibilities for calculating roots of mathematical expressions called "random polynomials using Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC:an ultra-cold cloud of gas atoms that are all in the same quantum state).

Is There Really Dark Energy In The Universe?
Theoretical physicists have studied a new model of gravity that can, they claim, account for the acceleration of the universe without any need for dark energy. Their model relies instead on modifications to the way that gravity behaves at ultra-large cosmological distances.

Are Pressure and Gravity manifestations of the same phenomenon?
Gravitational attraction has always been associated with the mutual attraction of matter, yet here we see that matter is being attracted to a notable absence of matter, and that the nature of this attraction is indistinguishable from the force of gravity...

New space-time theory does away with big-bang, dark energy etc.
A new theory presented by Alexander Franklin Mayer at Stanford claims time is not just linear, but points in different directions, just like gravity does not point in the same direction everywhere.

Heim's Hyperspace Theory to be Tested
Burkhard Heim began to explore the hyperdrive propulsion concept in the 1950s as a spin-off from his attempts to heal the biggest divide in physics: the rift between quantum mechanics and Einstein's general theory of relativity. Today, the US Department of Energy are reviewing an experiment to test his theories.
