One of the big topics at last night’s cap-and-trade debate at the University of Charleston here in West Virginia was whether or not global warming has slowed down in recent years.

Scientists say Global Warming is not slowing down
Red planet once had an ocean according to Scientists
The Red Planet was once blue as one third of it was covered by a an ocean, American scientists claimed after analysing its surface using a new software.

Scientists use computer to read "the mind's eye" on screen
Scientists have discovered how to read 'the mind’s eye' using a computer that can replicate what humans are seeing or recalling by monitoring their brain activity.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world, including the U.S., England and Canada, so it's not surprising that bioengineers at Duke University are excited by what they believe could be an important first step toward growing a living “heart patch” to repair damaged heart tissue.

Scientists call for 20 year Fishing Ban in a one-third of the world's oceans
A third of the World's oceans must be closed to fishing if depleted stocks are to recover, scientists and conservation groups have warned. Such a measure could "set the clock back 200 years" and reverse the decline in fish populations, after which responsible fisheries management could regenerate the industry.

Star Wars scientists use laser gun to kill mosquitoes in fight against malaria
Scientists who worked the Star Wars anti-missile programme in the United States are building a ray-gun than can kill mosquitoes in a bid to tackle the scourge of malaria. Experts behind the 1980s missile shield idea have helped to develop a laser that locks onto and kills airborne insects.

Scientists Invent Floatiest Material On Earth
Bugs that skate on water can do it because their feet are "superhydrophobic." Chinese scientists applied a similar coating to a tiny copper mesh boat, and suddenly it could hold three times the weight.

Society's vital networks prone to 'explosive' changes
US computer scientists have found that random networks – the mathematical description for networks we experience everyday in forms such as the internet and global flight connections – have the potential for extreme behaviour never seen before.Their findings might lead to improved understanding of how to control such networks – for example, to halt the spread of epidemics or improve the efficiency of delivery networks.

Computer scientists affiliated with the Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS), based at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with scientists at the Universit Catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium, deployed the first practical, web-based implementation of a secure, verifiable voting system for the presidential election held at UCL earlier this week.
