Research at the University of Liverpool has shown it is possible to develop an 'invisibility cloak' to protect buildings from earthquakes.

The potential for a huge Pacific Ocean tsunami on the West Coast of America may be greater than previously thought, according to a new study of geological evidence along the Gulf of Alaska coast.

The party was over more than 4,000 years ago, but the remnants still remain in the gourds and squashes that served as dishware.

Private information scattered all over the Internet and impossible to control. A new system, called Vanish, puts an expiry date on electronic text. Communications sent using Vanish -- such as e-mail, would have a brief lifetime and then self-destruct.

The wound that ultimately killed a Neandertal man between 50,000 and 75,000 years was most likely caused by a thrown spear, the kind modern humans used but Neandertals did not.

New process developed at Rice could be boon to electronics manufacturers.

Researchers have shown that the auroras in the Northern and the Southern hemispheres can be totally asymmetric. These findings contradict the commonly made assumption of aurora being mirror images of each other.

Acoustic tags and numerical river models are two technologies developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that are helping improve salmon passage at the Columbia Basin's hydroelectric dams.
