Exploding Star Caught on Tape
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Physics
A group of astronomers were using NASA’s Swift satellite to observe a supernova 100 million light years away. Apparently it was not too exciting until another nearby star went supernova. The star exploded before their very eyes, and soon astronomers around the world rushed to study this event. A phenomenon as this has never been [...]

Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen May Be Equally Effective At Reducing Risk Of Alzheimer’s Disease
May 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Chemistry
The American Academy of Neurology recently found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin, can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 23 percent. These non prescription drugs can target a certain type of plaque in the brain found in Alzheimer’s patients. Neurologists believe there are other reasons why these drugs [...]

Synthetic Copycat Of Living Cell Underway
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Chemistry
Researchers are currently trying to produce a duplicate, or copycat of a living cell. They have been able to create capsule shaped stuctures that resemble the surfaces of an actual cell. This new discovery can give researchers the ability to develop new ways in which to deliver medicine to diseased cells in the body, but, [...]

Water Used To Make Complicated Chain Of Chemical Reactions For Plastics And Medicines Much More Environmentally Friendly
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Chemistry
A ground breaking discovery at Tel Aviv University made it possible to replace chemical solvents with water. This makes the certain steps in chemical reaction chains much more environmentally- friendly. Prof. Arkadi Vigalok was the man who discovered how to use water instead of the chemical solvents. This discovery will greatly benefit our world in [...]

Next Generation Explosives
May 30th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Chemistry
Scientists in Germany are trying to find ways to make bombs that have the same power as the regular explosives such as TNT but with out the harmful toxins that come out. Thomas M. Klapötke was one of the German scientists working on this project. To meed these needs Thomas M. Klapötke turned to a [...]

Chaotic Lasers
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Physics
Diffussion random lasers(DRLs) are lasers that not much is known about. Research into these lasers have revealed much about their nature. Through this research, scientists have been able to understand the properties and developement of these lasers. The good thing about DRLs is that you don’t need an expensive mirror to power it. Just a [...]

Cassiopeia A Reconstructed
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Physics
Using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and Japan’s Subaru telescope, astronmers have put together the image of a star that went supernova. Astronomers were able to use the echoes of light traveling away from the remains of the supernova called Cassiopeia A to piece the star back together. This was an amazing discovery because astronomers had [...]

First demonstration of new laser-driven accelerator technology
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Physics
A team of UK scientists has used, for the first time, an extremely short-pulse laser to accelerate high-energy electrons over an incredibly short distance. Current accelerators can be hundreds of metres long, this is just a millimetre long. Earlier laser-driven accelerators were inefficient, accelerating the electrons to a wide range of energies. But scientists who [...]

Malaria Parasites “Family Plan”
May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Biology
A new study from the scientists of Edinburgh University has discovered that Malaria Parasites will produce more males than females when they meet difficult conditions. Normally these parasites will produce more females, but under harsher conditions, such as an attack from an immune system, they tend to produce more males in order to increase the [...]
