Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
The invention relates to a new process for the continuous production of glycerol-tertiary-butyl-ether (GTBE) by
etherification of glycerol and isobutene.

Vascular disrupting agents (VDA) can overcome the multidrug resistance of tumors by targeting specifically tumor vasculature. The present invention relates to specific analogs of combretastatin in the treatment or prevention of cancer, including multidrug-resistant and combretastatin-refractory cancers.

The new "TimeTree" application lets anyone with an Apple iPhone harness a vast Internet storehouse of data about the diversity of life, from bacteria to humans. The intuitive interface is designed to answer a simple question, quickly and authoritatively: how long ago did species A and species B share a common ancestor? "Our new iPhone app can be fun for people who want to learn how long ago their cat and dog began evolving down different evolutionary paths, in addition…
