RALEIGH, North Carolina (PNN) - April 10, 2016 - Composite metal foams are little-known materials that are beginning to show some big promise.

Some are potentially habitable.

HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - July 19, 2016 - NASA announced today that its Kepler spacecraft has discovered a "crop of more than 100 planets" orbiting the M dwarf star K2-72, 181 light years away from Earth.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 13, 2016 - Privacy advocates celebrated earlier this week as the House rejected yet another attempt to expand the USA PATRIOT Act’s snooping provisions. House Resolution 5606, better known by its Orwellian name, the “Anti-Terrorism Information Sharing is Strength Act”, would have allowed Big Brother to access Amerikans’ financial information based on what the government deems to be “suspicious activity”.
