Berkeley Lab is leading the construction of a mile-deep experiment that seeks to solve a science mystery
The race is on to build the most sensitive U.S.-based experiment designed to directly detect dark matter particles. Department of Energy officials have formally approved a key construction milestone that will propel the project toward its April 2020 goal for completion. (more…)

The Greek Mythology Mash-Up Pack – now in every version!
Behold and bow before the mighty Greek Mythology Mash-Up pack! This pack was previously only available to console players. So If you’re a console edition crafter, you’ve likely been laughing it up with your mythical mates for a while now. “Ho ho ho!” you’ve scoffed, while high five-ing Zeus with one hand, and pointing and laughing at PC players with the other. Honestly, you’re appalling sometimes. (more…)
Unser Verständnis der Welt baut größtenteils auf grundlegenden Wahrnehmungen auf, wie z.B. auf dem Aufeinanderfolgen von Ereignissen in einer wohl-definierten Ordnung. Solche eindeutigen Abfolgen sind in unserer Alltagswelt unabdingbar. (more…)

Wissenschaftler der Universität Tübingen an Studie zur Entstehung von dünnschichtigen Kanälen im Schelfeis beteiligt
Lange Geländerücken aus Sand und Kies, sogenannte Wallberge oder Esker, entstehen unter Eisschilden. Sie sind zum Beispiel auf der Landfläche Skandinaviens und Nordamerikas stehen geblieben, als sich dort das Eis nach der letzten Eiszeit zurückzog. Bisher wurden solche Geländeformen jedoch nicht unter aktuell bestehenden Eisschilden beobachtet. (more…)
AUSTIN, Texas — Homes with solar panels do not require on-site storage to reap the biggest economic and environmental benefits of solar energy, according to research from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. In fact, storing solar energy for nighttime use actually increases both energy consumption and emissions compared with sending excess solar energy directly to the utility grid. (more…)
Disputes over science-related policy issues such as climate change or fracking often seem as intractable as other politically charged debates. But in science, at least, simple curiosity might help bridge that partisan divide, according to new research. (more…)
