To become an astronaut, you already need to be pretty highly skilled. But in order to tell the story of spectacular IMAX documentary "A Beautiful Planet", the crew of the Inteational Space Station needed to add a new skill: filmmaking.

[embedded content] Sunlight and water are something Earth has in unlimited quantities, and now there's a new way to use them to create liquid fuel. Based on his previous research developing a "bionic leaf", Harvard researcher Daniel Nocera has created a means of using solar power to split water into hydrogen, which is then devoured by bacteria to produce isopropyl alcohol.In the team's previous research, the nickel-molybdenum-zinc catalyst used to split the water also created reactive oxygen species that attacked the bacteria, which could only be avoided by using higher voltages. Using a cobalt-phosphorus alloy catalyst instead does not create this species, which allows the bionic leaf to ru...

King Tut's tomb may have originally been excavated way back in the 1920s, but the burial area and its contents are still revealing secrets all these years later. An inteational research team discovered meteoric iron in the blade of a dagger found interred with young Tutankhamun, Egypt's most famous ancient ruler. Milan Polytechnic lead the study, which took the form of a non-invasive geochemical analysis. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry showed the blade contains nickel and cobalt in concentrations found in iron meteorites."The study confirms that ancient Egyptians attributed great value to meteoritic iron for the production of precious objects, and the high manufacturing quality of Tutankham...
