UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, Sept. 10 -- Pennsylvania State University posted the following news: * * * Black holes everywhere! Ten years of LIGO and gravitational waves * UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- On Sept. 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled together and merged. The signal had traveled about 1.3 billion years to reach us at the speed of light -- but it was not made of light. It was a different kind of signal: a quive more PR

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 10 -- Rice University posted the following news release: * * * New climate models to reveal secret life of water * When it comes to Earth's climate system, water is often at the center of the story -- whether it's too much, too little or arriving at the wrong time. And while today's climate models can tell us how much rain might fall or how humid the air might be, they often can't answer the simpler, and perhaps more important, question: Where did this water come from?  more PR
