Who said a scientist couldn't believe in god?

When this happens two or three times, the final rays exit in the direction of the light source—the sun—and create extremely faint rainbows opposite the original two, which can be seen only while facing away from the sun.

The ozone - a molecule containing three oxygen atoms - formed when sunlight broke down carbon dioxide in the Venusian atmosphere to form oxygen molecules. On Earth, the ozone, which absorbs much of the Sun's harmful UV-rays preventing them reaching the surface, is formed in a similar way. However, this process is supplemented by oxygen released by carbon dioxide-munching microbes.

But more than a decade after the Nobel-worthy find, scientists are still trying to pin down exactly what dark energy is and and thus solve what some experts call "the most profound problem" in modern physics.

To put it very simply, a plasma is an ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist. The funny thing about that is, that as far as we know, plasmas are the most common state of matter in the universe. They are even common here on earth. A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of their electrons break free from, but travel with their nucleus. Gasses can become plasma in several ways,  but all include pumping the gas with energy. The biggest chunk of plasma that we see everyday our dear friend, the sun. the sun's enormous heat rips electrons off the hydrogen and helium molecules that make up the sun. Essentially the sun, like most stars is a great big ball of plasma.

  Until now, they explained, an external source of electricity was required in order to power the process. However, the team added, the current cost of operating the new technology is too high to be used commercially. There are bacteria that occur naturally in the environment that are able to release electrons outside of the cell, so they can actually produce electricity as they are breaking down organic matter. We use those microbes, particularly inside something called a microbial fuel cell (MFC), to generate electrical power. We can also use them in this device, where they need a little extra power to make hydrogen gas. What that means is that they produce this electrical current, which are electrons, they release protons in the water and these combine with electrons. The breakthrough here is that we do not need to use an electrical power source anymore to provide a little energy into the system. All we need to do is add some fresh water and some salt water and some membranes, and the electrical potential that is there can provide that power.

Superconductivity is a phenomenon observed in metals and other conductors where the electrical resistance inside the material is reduced to 0. This is possible by cooling the material to -273 degrees Celcius (0 degrees Kelvin).

One of the newly discovered worlds, dubbed HD 85512b, lies at the edge of its star's habitable zone—the region around a star where liquid water, and thus life as we know it, can exist.

Millions of years of evolution have caused the Somalian Cavefish Phreatichthys Andruzii to lose their eyes, pigmentation and scales, having no need for them in the pitch-black of underground cave systems beneath the Somalian desert. 

These super dense stars get the name Neutron Star as they are composed almost entirely of neutrons.

This 6.4 meter (21 foot) Crocodile, weighing just over a ton (1075 kg), was caught in the Philippines following a 3 week hunt after it killed 2 people and attacked several others. Check the size of its huge tail.

Hurricanes spin around a low pressure center known as the 'eye of the storm'. These can be 20-30 miles wide and sinking air makes these areas calm compared to the 'eye wall' which is the area surrounding the eye where the strongest winds and rain are found.

The chemical known as 'Scale' makes body tissue clear enough so that light can penetrate it allowing us to see fluorescent markers embedded in cells and other structres. The chemical is to be used on human biopsy sample organs such as the heart, muscles and kidneys. This could be interesting as this new chemical could set new boundaries for medical imaging.
