2012-04-25

Saturn's giant moon Titan hides within a thick, smoggy atmosphere that's well-known to scientists as one of the most complex chemical environments in the solar system.

However the most important raw ingredient in this chemical factory - methane gas, a molecule made up of one carbon atom joined to four hydrogen atoms – should not ...

Study confirms anatomic existence of the elusive G-spot

2012-04-25

For centuries, women have been reporting engorgement of the upper, anterior part of the vagina during the stage of sexual excitement, despite the fact the structure of this phenomenon had not been anatomically determined.

The dissection established the presence of the G-spot, a ...

Intended Parents Find Surrogacy Solutions in India

2012-04-25

What's more, many parents find that they can't adopt abroad because of age restrictions, bias against singles or gay couples, or other rules. There are no such restrictions governing surrogacy in India. ...
