Football players would be better off drinking chocolate milkshake after a game than expensive recovery drinks, claim scientists.

Researchers found that chocolate milkshake's "natural" muscle recovery benefits match or may even surpass a specially designed carbohydrate sports drink. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Images of a tsunami blasting its way through the sun's lower atmosphere have been taken for the first time.

NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft captured one of the massive solar waves in action May 19, 2007, as it moved through four layers of the solar atmosphere. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Here on Earth, no one pays much heed to dust or sand blasted out by a rocket launch because "atmospheric drag rapidly slows the lightweight particles so they fall harmlessly to the ground a few meters from the blast," he explains. But on the Moon? "There is no atmosphere to slow tiny particles." Small grit can travel enormous distances at high speeds, scouring everything in it... read full post picked by Maven 2 years ago

Texting while driving has been shown in virtual simulators to be deadly. People doing it change speeds rapidly for no reason, and they weave in and out of lanes. The National Safety Council in January called on state and federal lawmakers to ban the use of cell phones and text-messaging devices while driving. picked by bornbad 6 months ago

This is pretty cool, you need your sound on, you create music by putting the blocks in the area and moving them at different speeds, when they bounce around it creates a sound. picked by pjanaway 1 year ago

ESA’s Integral has made the first unambiguous discovery of high-energy X-rays coming from a rare massive star at our cosmic doorstep, Eta Carinae. It is one of the most violent places in the galaxy, producing vast winds of electrically-charged particles colliding at speeds of thousands of kilometres per second. VIDEO included. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

People of all ages are fascinated by the cars on the big screen and television. Hollywood, throughout the years, has recognized that an awesome set of wheels can boost viewer ratings or ticket sales. A lot of times they’re driven at high speeds or in ridiculous situations, and that makes them all the more spectacular. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

Comcast, perhaps the most aggressive opponent of file sharing after the RIAA, has seen the light. After testing P4P, an experimental file sharing architecture that reduces network costs and bandwidth usage while increasing download speeds, the company is closer to embracing file sharing on its own network. picked by ceflory 1 year ago

A distant galaxy cluster has turned into a giant particle accelerator, spinning electrons over vast distances at high speeds. Scientists discovered this phenomenon by observing highly energetic X-rays emanating from the Ophiuchus cluster of galaxies. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Stare at the center of the rotating spiral for about 20 seconds, then look elsewhere. You will notice that whatever you look at now appears swirling. Don't worry, it won't stick ;-), this sensation will go away after a few seconds. You can start/stop and adjust the speeds of the 3 parts of the spiral with the controls at top right. Gazing at the spiral for a longer time will increase the duratio... read full post picked by lilaliss 2 years ago
