Could it one day be possible to generate
electricity from the loss of heat from Earth to outer space? A group of
Harvard engineers believe so and have theorized something of a reverse

possibly prevent them altogether. Read More
It’s been five years since NASA’s $600 million Kepler Space Telescope was launched to look for planets beyond our Solar System – so-called exoplanets
– and while the quest to find a twin for Earth has so far been
fruitless, Kepler’s observations have revealed our galaxy to be full of
worlds potentially able to support life. Read More
