Comment on Global Warming Caused by CFCs, Not Carbon Dioxide, Researcher Claims in Controversial Study by zhangyi

I thought this was interesting, because obviously almost everybody in the world thought global warming is caused by too much CO2 until this article came out.
So CFCs are created by cosmic-ray effect, wondering what is that.

Comment on Brain Freeze by chojnawt

WE all know brain freezes suck. The brain freezes are a cause of the roof of our mouths getting cold and the nerve goes right to our brain. I have figured out the perfect cure for a brain freeze. All you have to do is put your thumb on the roof of your mouth for a couple seconds and it’s cured. Many years of research have led me to figure this out.

Comment on Illegal drugs, and Soda cause same type of Teeth Damage by chojnawt

This is a great thing for us to know. As teenagers we drink tons of soda. My brother drinks at least 16 cans at parties it’s disgusting! The amount of sugar in soda is appalling and we often don’t realize how bad it is for our bodies. I know from personal experience that soda is terrible for you. I don’t drink soda and I am in great shape. If the world understands and knows that it is pretty much as damaging as drugs it could seriously help the obese people of the world.

With this it is neat to know that our body does this when we are out in the sun. Not only that Doctor Richard Weller said that the heart health will out weigh the risk of getting skin cancer. It is neat when you actually have a small chance of getting skin cancer and just being in the sun light lowers your blood pressure.

Comment on Computers Are So Neat! by Elisa

This is amazing! I thought it was crazy how the computer calculates iteratively and “biologically relevant results.” I also thought it was amazing how this computer also can change a genetic code algorithmically. “All biological systems, and even entire living organisms, are natural molecular computers. Every one of us is a biomolecular computer, that is, a machine in which all components are molecules “talking” to one another in a logical manner.” Says Professor Keinan. That is amazing, again, because like what you said, this means this computer could create another living organism.
I’m not sure how I feel about this because it could mean that we might be taking God’s power of creation and have things go wrong. Hopefully more information on this surface.

Comment on Ew, Staph Infections by Elisa

I thought it was interesting how the compounds that these scientists have been exploring will have their “greatest impact” in examining quorum sensing in staph infections. The only thing is that they have to determine is how the synthetic agents work in the cell so that they can attack the disease.
I think the more they study this, the more we will be able learn about other diseases similar to the staph infection. Diseases exist in this world because of sin, but God works in mysterious ways, and is definitely working with these scientists for a cure.

A leading cause of these CFC being put in the atmosphere was and probably is still the leading cause today. I did know some of this but I didn’t know as much as I thought there was to this.

Comment on A Closer Step To Knowing The Enemy by donga

HIV is a big problem for long. However it’s not unsolvable since this scientific world is developing. And scientists made a lot of trying relying on the structure of the virus. Actually, I don’t get what is Blue Water exactly, but I got the idea that Blue Water could make missing pieces of the outside of the capsid. Face to HIV, we don’t have to be afraid .

Comment on Algae vs. Plastic by plocheer

Even though there is this new discovery of making plastic from algae, it won’t be around for a while because these scientists are waiting for the perfect algae to come along. One of the main scientists working on the project thinks that a bit of genetic engineering will help. After the genetic engineering comes the hard part though, ‘milking’ the algae and get the parts they need without killing the species. This group of scientists is hoping that in the next four years they can succeed in presenting a rope of plastic made from algae.

Personally, I think this is a long time to wait for this efficient new discovery, but it could be worth it in the end. Getting rid of plastics is very difficult for our world today, so maybe starting to make plastic out of the creation God has given us that is natural will be the solution!

Comment on The Batteries of the Future by schrienm

These batteries also showed good reversibility and stability when they were put under tests of long charge and discharge cycles over several weeks. Hongjie Dai, a professor chemistry at Stanford, said “This work could be an important step toward developing practical rechargeable zinc-air batteries, even though other challenges relating to the zinc electrode and electrolyte remain to be solved.”

It’s important to notice the price factor here. With the invention of cheap batteries, maybe the price of those items which use these batteries may decrease in price also. This would be a huge change in the market of such items. It would make a lot of products much more affordable for those who couldn’t normally afford them. This just shows how chemistry can have an affect on society.
