Home » Panorama 6 December 2011No Comment Here are the top 10 scientific discoveries of 2009, according to Time magazine: Our Oldest Ancestor, “Ardi” With her long, elegant fingers, 4-ft. frame and a head no larger than a bonobo’s, it’s hard not to feel a certain fondness for little Ardi, the oldest skeleton of a prehuman hominid ever found.
Painstakingly pieced together from more than 100 crushed fossil fragments unearthed in Ethiopia, this female specimen of Ardipithecus ramidus (Ardi, for short) lived 4.4 million years ago and had remained anonymous until 1992, when her fragments were first discovered. After 17 years of research, a team of scientists led by Tim D. Announced it had spotted a planetlike object orbiting a star much like our sun. Source: Science Clarified.

Le prix Ig Nobel (qui peut être prononcé Ignobel, car nommé ainsi par jeu de mots entre « prix Nobel » et l'adjectif « ignoble » en anglais[1]) est un prix parodique du prix Nobel décerné chaque année à dix recherches scientifiques qui paraissent loufoques ou anodines[2], mais qui amènent ensuite à réfléchir.
L'objectif déclaré de ces prix est de « récompenser les réalisations qui font d'abord rire les gens, puis les font réfléchir ». Les prix sont également utilisés pour souligner que même les recherches paraissant insolites ou absurdes peuvent apporter des connaissances utiles. Certains lauréats acceptent de recevoir leur prix lors d'un gala, d'autres non[3].

Quelle drôle d’idée ! Pas tout à fait… Ces animaux marins prennent tout naturellement place dans l’exposition temporaire « EAUX ». Car tout est fait d’eau ou repose sur les propriétés de cet élément. L’eau est au cœur de toutes les vies, planétaires, humaines, végétales et animales … Les méduses en sont un exemple extrême. . © N. Science et OVNI. Art et Science. Wolfram MathWorld: The Web's Most Extensive Mathematics Resource. What's Special About This Number? Creating Anti Icing Surfaces : Blog : GE Global Research - Flock. GE Global Research today presented new research findings on its nanotextured anti-icing surfaces.
In addition to dramatically reducing ice adhesion, these surfaces now have been shown to significantly delay the onset of ice formation in simulated atmospheric icing conditions. The team’s findings were presented at the APS’ 2012 March Meeting. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an estimated 25 million gallons of de-icing agents are applied to aircraft taking off from U.S. commercial airports each year. In addition, airlines have robust energy intensive heating systems on board to prevent ice formation on airplanes. Compared to standard surfaces, where ice would form almost immediately without the use of these systems, GE’s nano-enabled anti-icing surfaces would delay ice formation for more than a minute on their own.
