Here are some highlights from the last week’s postings in the physical sciences and engineering on ResearchBlogging!

Need your appendix removed on a long space journey to a distant exoplanet? With robotic telesurgery, now for the first time demonstrated in zero gravity, this is no longer a problem. Jason Carr describes this exciting advance on Wired Cosmos.

On Miss Atomic Bomb, Kelly discusses the significance of the newly published results from the fascinating ice-bound Antarctic IceCube experiment. It seems like high energy cosmic rays will remain a mystery for some time yet.

What caused supernova SN 2009z? This great post on Supernova Condensate describes this intriguing stellar explosion, which took place in a galaxy where such events are entirely unexpected.

I hope you all have a great week, and I’ll be back next Monday with more picks.

    I have realized that online diploma is getting preferred because getting your degree online has changed into a popular choice for many people. A lot of people have not necessarily had a possibility to attend a conventional college or university although seek the elevated earning possibilities and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree gives you. Still other individuals might have a diploma in one field but wish to pursue something they now develop an interest in.

    To the person who asked about making cupcakes: We don’t think you would need to adjust the oven temperature or ingredient quantities. Unfortunately, we can’t help with the baking time as we haven’t tested the recipe as cupcakes. We suggest that you keep an eye on them and test with a knife or wooden skewer to determine when they are cooked through.
