Another Look at the LHC
March 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Physics
Recently, the Large Hadron Collider broke another scientific record: It sped protons up to 3.5 trillion volts. It re-broke the record after getting as high as 1.2 trillion volts. 3.5 trillion volts is about 1000 times more energy that is found in one proton. Soon, the scientists will be taking a few of these protons, [...]

Songbirds Provide Insight Into Speech Production
March 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Biology
Physicists at Penn State are getting new knowledge in how the human brain works. This new knowledge helps them to understand vocal behavior, human speech production, and speech disorders. They have obtained this knowledge through studies done on songbirds. Scientists are looking at how songbirds transmit impulses through their nerve cells in the brain. This [...]

Magnetic monopole experiment at CERN could rewrite laws of physics
March 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Chemistry, Physics
A physics professor at The University of Arizona and some international teams of physicists are leading an experiment that will use ultra high energy proton collisions. They are searching for a particle called the Magnetic Monopole. This magnetic monopole will only have one pole ( hence the name “mono”pole) unlike normal magnets that have two poles: [...]

Safer Nuclear Reactions
March 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Physics
Los Alamos researchers were surprised to find a self repairing Nanocrystalline. One of the major problems with nuclear reactors is how their radiation affects materials. There is often difficulty in finding usable materials to use as the walls. Nanocrystalline, however, is able to repair the holes and effects the radiation gives. It does this through [...]

Not ‘Dumbed Down’ by Domestication
March 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Biology
Domesticated animals all have a smaller brain. This recent study on guinea pigs, it shows and proves that not all domesticated animals are less smart than wild undomesticated animals. The results actually showed that the domesticated guinea pigs were actually smarter than the undomesticated animals, but they were slightly less athletic at swimming in the [...]
