When it comes to 3-D puzzles, Rubik's Cube pales in comparison
with the latest creation from geophysicists Richard Gordon, Chuck DeMets and Donald Argus. The trio has just put the finishing touches on a 20-year effort to precisely describe the relative movements of the interlocking tectonic plates that make up about 97 percent of Earth's surface.

A new technique developed by Princeton University engineers for producing electricity-conducting plastics could dramatically lower the cost of manufacturing solar panels. By overcoming technical hurdles to producing plastics that are translucent, malleable and able to conduct electricity, the researchers have opened the door to broader use of the materials in a wide range of electrical devices.

A new study shows that blindsnakes are one of
the few groups of organisms that inhabited Madagascar when it broke from India about 100 million years ago and are still living today.
