Physicists unveil results helping explain the universe

After a quarter-century of searching, scientists have nailed down how one particularly rare subatomic particle decays into something else — a discovery that adds certainty to our thinking about how the universe began and keeps running.

The world's top particle physics lab said Friday it had measured the decay time of a particle known as a Bs (B sub s) meson into two other fundamental particles called muons, 

The planets orbiting cooler stars have a warm climate

There is an assumption that the planets orbiting the cold star may not be on the surface of snow or ice, in contrast to those that rotate around hot. This is possible due to the interaction of starlight with ice and snow on the surface of the planets.

NASA selected the advanced technological concepts for further development

NASA has selected 12 proposals, including two from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (of California), for the study of the first phase of the Subsidiary Innovative Concepts (NIAC). The program focuses on a detailed study and elaboration of existing concepts without specific algorithm they use to humans. Thus, through this process, it is planned to make a series of scientific fantasies into reality.

                                                                             

The selected 12 applications, a rather controversial concept, including 3-D printing of biomaterials, such as cells.
