In 1992 there was a discovery to world science. It is a rare animal know as the Saola in Annamite Mountains. The Saola is already an endangered creature and it appears that these creature’s race is declining. It is declining so fast that it is almost at the point of becoming extinct. The primary reason [...]

Gamma-ray photon race ends in dead heat; Einstein wins this round
October 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Physics
Two gamma-ray photon which were racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years get to NASA’s otbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope with nine-tenths of a second of one another. The dead-heat stoke the fires of debat ober Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The reason is one of the photons possessed a million times more energy [...]

The lotus’s clever way of staying dry
October 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Confucius said:” I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.” The student from University of Duck found why lotus can stay dry. There are some tiny irregular blumps on the surface of the lotus’s leaf. If the water droplet on the top of the leaf, It only touches the end of the [...]

Radiation in the Sky.
October 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
“The frequent flyer is susceptible to more radiation in particularly high latitudes,” Chris Mertens, Ph.D., a space physicist at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., said. We’re all exposed to some radiation every day, but the earth’s atmosphere shields us from most of it. At higher latitudes, near the poles, and altitudes above [...]

New Technology Helps Parkinson’s Patients Speak Louder
October 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
One of the affects of Parkinson’s disease is a speech problem. People with Parkinson’s tend to speak very quietly and sometimes unclearly. One attempt to help was speech therapy sessions. However, after the sessions the patients would forget to speak louder. Jessica Huber found a better solution to this problem. Huber told her patients to [...]

Loss of top predators causing surge in smaller predators, ecosystem collapse
October 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Biology
In the last 200 years there has been an increase in mesopretadors. Mesopretadors are increasing in number because apex pretadors are decreasing. Apex pretadors are pretadors including wolves, cougars, lions or sharks. The over hunting for food and many other purposes of these apex pretadors are decreasing the numbers of them and increasing the number [...]

Seeing Previously Invisible Molecules for the First Time
October 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Biology
Now biologists have made the invisible, visible. A team of chemists from Harvard made a microscopic technique for seeing molecules in color with fluorescence that can not be seen. There is a room-temperature technique that allows researchers to find unseen molecules in living things. For more information on how this works and what it does click here. Biologists have made a [...]

Detecting Water
October 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Many of us remember the terrorist attack in 2006, and all of us deal with its consequences whenever we board a plane: We aren’t allowed to bring water (or any drinks for that matter) into airports. However, physicists in Germany believe that by using a technique from spectroscopy, which uses electromagnetism to detect different [...]

Loss of top predators causing surge in smaller predators, ecosystem collapse
October 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Biology
A new study states that there has been a major decline in the “apex” predators’ population. These are predators such as lions, tigers, sharks, wolves, big big animals like them. Because of this decline, thare are more smaller predators called “mesopredators”. This has lead to economic and ecological disruptions. Studies shows that North America’s [...]
