Did you always fail or do extremely bad even though you studied over night for the exams? Well, here’s the answer to why is that. Synapses are grown when exposed to a stimulus, they connect neutron and other brain cells to transmit information. Carnegie Mellon Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Alison L. Barth has shown that [...]

A group of scientists from UC Berkeley have used a “state-of-the-art atomic force microscope” to capture the first atom by atom pictures. These images show how the structures of the molecules change. Up until this point, scientists have only been able to guess what this reaction looks like, but now they have actual proof. This [...]

A chemical giant named BASF has a pesticide named fipronil that the European Food Safety Authority  found and linked to the bees death. This a different type of pesticide that was not on any restrictions until the EFSA found out how the the bee population was still going down. This pesticide has been put in [...]

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to a researcher from the University of Waterloo in a controversial new study published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B this week. Global warming has been a big problem for a long time. As I know it’s caused [...]

Lithium is a very rare metal, therefore it is expensive. And we use it in Lithium Ion batteries, very popular rechargable batteries used in many smart phones, drills, electric cars, etc. The only downside to Lithium is its price. Now, while most scientists are working on Lithium batteries, Stanford University has been reseaching more effiecient [...]

Researchers in Sweden have identified the molecular mechanism behind the transformation of one of the components in Alzheimer’s disease. They identified the crucial step leading to formations that kill brain cells. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the diseases doctors have yet to decipher, and once started, there’s no stopping it, that is, the accumulation of [...]
