Dark matter 'bridge to nowhere'
found in cosmic void
New Scientist Space Sep. 15, 2008
*************************
Tel Aviv University astronomers
have found 14 galaxies that seem to
be lined up along a bridge of dark
matter at least 1.5 million light
years long inside a region of nearly
empty space. The alignment seems to
suggest that the galaxies have come
into contact with new, star-forming
material, such as a swath of dark
matter -- its gravity could...

Did evolution come before life?

selection likely existed in
prebiotic molecules even before life
arose on Earth, making the eventual
arrival of life much more probable,
according to models by mathematical
biologists at Harvard University
suggest. Selection actually precedes
the origin of life, and helps to
shape it, as the prebiotic soup...

by the IEEE Very High Throughput
(VHT) Study Group. VHT would use two
frequency bands: high-frequency
60GHz for relatively short ranges (a
few rooms) and under-6GHz for ranges
similar to that of today's WLANs in
the 5GHz band (about 70 meters
indoors), allowing "a corporate...
