South Korean Nuclear Proponents: Conventional Deterrence is Failing
South Korean advocates of nuclear deterrence say the government in Seoul must pursue its own nuclear weapons programs to defend against North Korea’s growing nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. Song Dae-sung, a political science professor at Kunkuk University in Seoul and author of the book Let’s Have Nuclear Power makes the case for a nuclear armed South Korea. “If North Korea becomes a nuclear-armed state and its adversary does not own nuclear power, then the non-nuclear state become..>> view originalArticle Published in Nature Has Scientists Saying They'll “Save Planet from Climate Change with Grain of Sand”
While companies and governments across the world are working to reduce emissions, invent and use clean-burning fuels all in an effort to reduce the dumping of 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, a group of researchers at the University of Toronto may have just figured out how to save the planet. Canadian scientists believe they’ve found a way to convert carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere into an energy-rich fuel by using the 2nd most abundant element on earth – silico..>> view originalProbe to dive into Jupiter's atmosphere

An international group of scientists are poised to emerge after a year of near isolation in a research station set up in Hawaii to simulate conditions on Mars.The scientists are scheduled to emerge on Sunday from a small white dome on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano which has a landscape which resembles the one found on Mars.The dome sits at an elevation of 2,500 metres above sea level where no plants grow, and the six scientists who participated in the experiment were only allowed to leave the dome ..>> view originalHow NASA makes sure we don't contaminate the Solar System
So you want to explore the Solar System? You’re going to need to clean your spacecraft first. Any missions that NASA sends to other worlds nearby have to adhere to something called planetary protection. It’s the rule of preventing "harmful contamination" of the places we explore in the Solar System. That means making sure exploring spacecraft don’t spread too many harmful Earth’s organisms to all of our planetary neighbors. Planetary protection was initially created in service of humanity’s o..>> view originalEarthquake Prediction: 'No One In The World Is Safe' -- Major Quakes Could Strike Anytime
