A study suggests emissions from 1,000 private rocket launches a year would remain high in the stratosphere, possibly altering global atmospheric circulation and distributions of ozone, Nature.com reported Friday. "There are fundamental limits to how much material human beings can put into orbit without having a significant impact, ... read more |

College Park MD (SPX) Oct 21, 2010Scientists at the University of Maryland and Tulane University have developed a computational model of a swimming fish that is the first to address the interaction of both internal and external forces on locomotion. The interdisciplinary research team simulated how the fish's flexible body bends, depending on both the forces from the fluid moving around it as well as the muscles inside. Un ... more
