Canadian scientists have found a way to make a “super strong cell membrane adhesive”. This adhesive would be used to glue red blood cells together. Now what would we use cell glue for? Well obviously to glue cells together. It would be beneficial for doctors  if they could align cells in certain areas and positions [...]

Many people, such as I, love to drink green tea. It is full of antioxidants and can help hydrate you better than water. Above all, it even tastes good. Well, now, it can do much more. In green tea, there is a molecule that can help stop the deforming of specific protein within our brains. A [...]

Cancer has been cause for much concern in recent decades. Many people have dedicated their time and money into finding new and more efficient cures for cancer, but who would have ever thought the International Space Station would help contribute to the fight against cancer? The Space Station is actually playing a huge part in the quest [...]

Professor Yuntian Zhu,  a matierals scientist at North Carolina State University,  was included in a project of a stronger, yet lighter steel. They created nanostructures, which can be used on many different metals, to help create the Nano-Architectured Aluminum. Professor Zhu had explained how the aluminum alloys, that when combined to form hierarchical structure to many high levels [...]

I guess many people saw or watched Iron man 1 and this Friday Iron man 2 is comming out too. The power that able to move the Iron man is a particle accelerator. But Tony Stark came up with a new way of power reactor to make him alive. So, the film producer wanted to [...]

A milestone has recently been reached by a team of scientists. Their goal is to let people who are unable to speak because of accidents or diseases speak in real time. Through an implant that changes neural signals to modified FM radio signals and eventually to synthetic speech, a person can “say” something in fewer [...]

As far as most people know, black holes are the darkest things out there. Their gravity is so intense that not even light can escape their grasp. Black holes aren’t studied with telescopes, but with computers, because you really can’t see them. Black holes might not be as dark as we thought though. Gases being [...]

team of French physicists say they have used a femtosecond laser (ultra-fast bursts of laser light) to alter electron spin and this would speed up retrieval and storage. The technique could increase the speed up to 100000 times. imagine the possibility to be able to surf the net even faster computer work and computer operated [...]
