At this week's ARPA-E Summit, scientists and entrepreneurs were all about hot new tech, from cheap solar cells to super-efficient gas engines.

How did oil painting begin?And why did it become so popular?Much of the answer to the last question lies in the fact that the royalty used to compete to have the most spectacular oil paintings.Or oljemaleri as we call it.If English is your mothertounge,then you can use Googles translating tool when looking at it.Enjoy!

Scientists at Manchester University have discovered that naturally occurring iron-reducing bacteria can be used to create iron-oxide nanoparticles with magnetic properties, which in turn could lead to new nanomagnets.

Scientists found the nearly complete remains of an 11-foot-long, 67-million-year-old serpent coiled around a crushed dinosaur egg right next to a hatchling in the nest of a sauropod dinosaur, the largest animals to have ever walked the Earth.

Operators of the world's largest atom smasher restarted their massive machine yesterday in a run up to experiments probing secrets of the universe, a spokeswoman said.

What kinds of organisms lived on New Zealand's rocks around 48 million years ago? That was the focus of research by Victoria University PhD graduate Dr Chris Clowes.

2009 International Mechanical Code includes most current mechanical codes that address the design and installation of the most current mechanical systems. This valuable reference uses prescriptive- and performance- related provisions to establish minimum regulations for a variety of systems.

The idea of hot peppers actually helping alleviate pain sort of feels like something out of a fantasy novel, or a poultice an alchemist might make in a D&D game. Well, to my surprise (and relief) the product really worked.

NASA began today replacing an aging set of Earth-based deep space antennas with new ones that will allow it to communicate with distant probes far more efficiently than the broadband connections in the typical home.

Going green is no more just an option for us. It is something that every inhabitant of this planet has to strive for if we don't want our planet to be destroyed due to global warmin

Amputees may be able to walk more easily with an artificial foot that recycles energy otherwise wasted in between steps.

A fresh look at forgotten fossils has revealed two new species of giant, filter-feeding fish that swam Earth's oceans for 100 million years, occupying the ecological niche now filled by whales and whale sharks. Until now, that ancient niche was thought to be empty, and such fish to be a short-lived evolutionary bust.

Astronauts were treated to a spectacular world's eye view from the International Space Station when they opened the shutters on a new observation deck.

In creating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, scientists typically only get 0.01 percent of a sample of human fibroblast (skin) cells to change. A group led by Duanqing Pei of the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health in China has found that a simple chemical can boost the efficiency by 100-fold—namely, vitamin C.

How did a ferocious T.rex woo his lady? How did a Stegosaurus couple negotiate sex with all those deadly plates and spikes? How did a female Titanosaur support the weight of a male who was as long as a four-story building is high?

A Japanese astronaut aboard the International Space Station since December has been shooting some incredible images and sending them back to Earth.

Scientists are using nanoparticles and lasers to kill cancer cells by blowing them up from the inside.

The Guardian has published online the full manuscript of its major investigation into the climate science emails stolen from the University of East Anglia, which revealed apparent attempts to cover up flawed data; moves to prevent access to climate data; and to keep research from climate sceptics out of the scientific literature.
