Based on what I read scientists now believe that it would be possible to make Single molecule Nano Vehicles. They would be powered by sugar, This breakthrough would essentially be invaluable medical purposes. Scientists will continue to revolutionize Nano technology possibly increasing life expectancy in certain instances. years from now there will be possibilities that we [...]

Swine-flu outbreak could be linked to Smithfield factory farms
April 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Biology
The swine-flu has infected over 1,000 people, and at least 68 are dead. Biologists have been thinking, and they think that the disease originated at the Smithfield factory farms in Mexico. They believe that the farms contaminated the surrounding bodies of water, starting the outbreak of the disease. To read the full article click here. This [...]

Problem solved.
April 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Biology, Chemistry
Many people are convinced that all drugs are harmful to your body. A recent study shows that certain drugs usually used recreationally to purposefully alter one’s consciousness (such as coffee, alcohol or cannabis), can have positive effects, such as the use of narcotics in controlling pain, stimulants to treat narcolepsy and attention disorders, as well [...]

Power thrust for spider silk
April 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Physics
Researchers have discovered a way to make spider silk 3 times and strong. They combined it with metal ions which helps give the silk its added strength. It can also be stretched twice as far as a normal silk strand. Read more about it here. The possibilities for this breakthrough are tremendous. Not only can [...]

An Aged Electric Grid Looks To A Brighter Future
April 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Electricity grids have been a useful form of energy since they were first created in 1882. However, as time passes, it is becoming more and more evident that renewable resources of energy are vital to our future. Because of the recent $11 billion stimulus plan to upgrade the nation’s grid, more resources are going to [...]

New technique that scrambles light may create better pictures
April 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Physics
Their approach passes light through a “nonlinear crystal” which would ordinarily distort an image. The researchers created a computer algorithm that not only reconstructs the image but captures details that would otherwise be lost. This new technic would allow some one to zoom in on something and take a closer look but not narrow your [...]

Ultracool Molecules
April 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Physics
Scientists have been trying to build a quantum computer and there are getting closer. Scientists are trying to study molecules but they have been having trouble because they move around in complex vibrations and waves. So by cooling them down to as close as they can to absolute zero, and keeping them in small enclosed [...]

Water Levels Dropping in Major Rivers
April 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Biology
A lot of the major rivers are losing water. Some scientists suggest that it is from climate changes. They also think that it will threaten supplies of food and water. From 1948 to 2004, about one third of the world’s largest rivers have lost water. Some of the rivers that are losing water include the [...]

Fires May Be Factor in Climate Change
April 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Biology
A group of authors published an article stating their belief that fires make a contribution to our climate changes on earth. They say that intentional fires started for deforestation contribute to one fifth of human caused emissions of carbon dioxide. This article was produced by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and the National Center [...]

What Makes A Cow A Cow?
April 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Chemistry
Cows are interesting animals. They chew very slow if you watch closely, but what makes a cow a cow? This is the first time they discover the genetic characteristics and differences from a human or other types of cattle. Cows have a four-chamber stomachs which allows them to eat grass and low quality forage. Cattle has one of the most highly [...]
