One of the ways that scientists propose that we tackle the problem of global warming is to actively remove greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, from the atmosphere. To be an effective compliment to reducing our CO2 output from transport and industry, carbon sequestration will have to be done on a massive scale, meaning that the materials used in the process will need to be plentiful. One of those materials, magnesite, readily absorbs CO2, but there are both practical and economic limits keeping industry from mining the mineral in quantities large enough to be effective. However, researchers in Canada have discovered a way to quickly produce the mineral artificially.read more

A series of 70 major earthquakes that have occurred around the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire has prompted fears that California may be hit by the dreaded "Big One", an anticipated earthquake with a magnitude powerful enough to have catastrophic consequences for the state. The sequence of earthquakes struck Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but so far no major seismic activity has been reported in California. But could this recent rash of earthquakes mean that the "Big One" could be close behind?

Physicists with MIT and the University of Vienna have conducted an experiment that pretty much proves that the phenomenon of quantum entanglement is real, and not the effect of a "loophole" that could be explained by classical physics. The experiments that were used in closing this loophole involved a combination of Earth-bound telescopes, 30,000 entangled pairs of entangled photons, and starlight nearly as old as the universe itself.

The host of the Discovery Channel docuseries Cooper’s Treasure, Darrell Miklos, has announced that his team has discovered a large, anomalous object on the seabed in the Bermuda Triangle, that he describes as an unidentified submerged object (USO). The object, described as a large dome with fifteen 300-foot (91-meter) protrusions jutting from its sides, was discovered using a treasure map of potential shipwreck sites made by astronaut Gordon Cooper, at a dive site mysteriously described in Coopers notes as ‘unidentified object’.
