In one of the quickest scientific experiments, scientists have turned water into ice in nanoseconds, making the ice hotter than boiling water. The experiment was done at the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Sandia National Laboratories. The experiment was successfully carried out by huge Z machine, which generates temperatures hotter than the sun thus setting a record here on Earth. Sandia researcher Daniel Dolan said, "Compressing water customarily heats it. But under extreme compression, it is easier for dense water to enter its solid phase [ice] than maintain the more energetic liquid phase [water]. "

The skeletons of two prehistoric humans found buried locked in an embrace last week will continue to keep the heart-warming pose this Valentine's day. Archaeologists in Italy, who unearthed the rare Neolithic era burial, are planning to scoop out the entire section of the earth to preserve the integrity of the pose.

Scientists have confirmed that the strange, silvery rock that tore a hole in the roof and landed on the bathroom of the Nageswaran family more than a week ago had been a meteorite. Although about 50 extraterrestrial rocks crash on Earth regularly, it rarely strikes homes.
