Finds First Organic Molecule On Extrasolar
Planet
The tell-tale signature of the molecule methane
in the atmosphere of the Jupiter-sized extrasolar planet HD 189733b
has been found with the Hubble Space Telescope. Under the right
circumstances methane can play a key role in prebiotic chemistry --
the chemical reactions considered necessary to form life as we know
it. Although methane has been detected on most of the planets in
our Solar System, this is the first time any organic molecule has
been detected on a world orbiting another star.

Photons Clarify 'Spookiness' Of Quantum
Physics
Researchers at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute
(NIST/University of Maryland) have developed a new method for
creating pairs of entangled photons, particles of light whose
properties are interlinked in a very unusual way dictated by the
rules of quantum physics. The researchers used the photons to test
fundamental concepts in quantum theory.
In the experiment, the researchers send a pulse of light into
both ends of a twisted loop of optical fiber. Pairs of

Cutting-edge Computing
Helps Discover Origin Of Life On Earth
The UK’s national computing grid, along with their
counterparts in the US (TeraGrid) and Europe have helped UCL
(University College London) scientists shed light on how life on
earth may have originated.

possible sources of biological molecules such as RNA and DNA but it
was unclear how they could survive the high temperatures and
pressures that occur round these vents. (Credit: OAR/National

Tiny
Sensor Developed To Detect Homemade Bombs
A team of chemists and physicists at the University of
California, San Diego has developed a tiny, inexpensive sensor chip
capable of detecting trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical
used in the most common form of homemade explosives.

The
Neanderthal-Human Split: (Very) Ancient
History
Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News
Neanderthals and humans once shared a common
ancestor, but we split from the stocky, hairy hominid group as long
as 400,000 to 350,000 years ago, concludes a new study.
That estimate matches prior DNA studies, putting a date to the

Like a zombie, Bodie is in a permanent state of “arrested

by Josie Glausiusz and Jane
Bosveld
Abandoned for half a century, the mining
town of
Bodie, California, is now preserved in a state of
'arrested decay' by the park system.
Gaze into one of the ramshackle buildings in Bodie, California, and
you might see dust-covered furniture, an old muffin pan, rusty
tins, and broken kerosene lamps. Or you might see a fully stocked
general store with original wooden boxes and shelves with tin cans.
The old gold-mining town, once bustling with saloons, brothe
