UGA licenses new Bermuda grass that thrives in sun and shade
Athens, Ga. An internationally recognized turfgrass researcher from the University of Georgia has developed a new Bermudagrass that thrives in sun, but also produces healthy turf in areas with less than half the light normally required for healthy Bermuda grass. The new Bermudagrass, licensed ...Collaboration delivers a comprehensive next-generation identity management platform, complete with biometric enrollment, authentication, data formatting, and background check connectivity BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Aware, Inc.

Solar flares set the Sun quaking
Data from the ESA/NASA spacecraft SOHO shows clearly that powerful starquakes ripple around the Sun in the wake of mighty solar flares that explode above its surface.
