While GPS can be used to determine one's geographical coordinates on land, such is not the case underwater. Scientists have developed a possible alternative, however, in the form of a system that analyzes the manner in which sunlight is polarized by water.GPS functions by calculating the user's position relative to four or more satellites, all of which are orbiting the Earth at known locations. The system only works if it can receive radio signals from those satellites, though, and those signals don't travel well through…

You won't get a pie while you're at the top of a mountain during a hike, then, but you could have Domino's…

GPS-enabled tracking modules allow scientists to learn a great deal about wild animals, but the devices do have one major drawback – limited battery life. A new tracker gets around that limitation, as it's continuously powered by the animal's movements.Known as the "KineFox," the collar-mounted tracking device was created by a University of Copenhagen team led by biologist Rasmus W. Havmøller, working in partnership with scientists from the Technical University of Denmark and Germany's Max Planck Institute of Animal…
