Scientists at MIT and Brown University are studying how the segregation and change in current from right-hand bacteria from left-hand bacteria. This discovery could impact our understanding on how water microbes affect the current of the water. The two-handed quality is called chirality and in a molecule it can make the difference to healing or [...]

Magnetic Refrigeration and Air Conditioning comment
June 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Scientists are very close to a breakthrough of a magnetic cooling system. This technology that is described is by applying a magnetic field in proximity to a magnetic material that it can correspond with , therefore causing the heat to rise and then the excessive heat would be removed by the application of water. When [...]

“Cling To Walls Like Spiderman”
June 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Physicists believe that they have come up with the formula to the ” spider- man suit”. Professor Nicola Pugno has described the suit to contain a mixture of adhesive forces and other substitutes to make a spider-man like suit. This suit would be equipped with many tiny molecular sized hooks which would be great to [...]

Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century
June 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Professor Mallett, from the University of Connecticut, has invented a time travel machine. He has devised this machine based of Einstein’s famous equation E=mc^2. Though many scientists seem to believe that time travel is almost impossible to achieve, Mallett has discovered a way around past obstacles. He has devised a time warp or loop as oppose to [...]

Defying Gravity – A Metal That Pumps Liquid Uphill
June 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Chemistry
Scientists can now easily do what nature cannot do as easily: Move water uphill. It uses a laser that uses a flash of light, a ferntosecond long (It is to a second as a second is to 32 million years), to change the metal’s surface. The moving of water is done by using evaporation and molecular [...]
