Thermoelectric involving a direct relationship between temperature of materials and the production of electricity. Thermoelectric materials have been used by NASA to generate power for far-away spacecraft. Recently, researchers at Boston College and MIT have used nanotechnology to achieve a major increase in thermoelectric efficiency. This research become a milestone that paves the way for a new [...]

By Encarta, we found that superconductivity is a phenomenon displayed by certain conductors that demonstrate no resistance to the flow of an electric current. Superconductors also exhibit strong diamagnetism; that is, they are repelled by magnetic fields. It conduct electricity without creating friction or heat loss, but most commercial superconducting materials have to operate at [...]

Schizophrenia known as a mental disorder which have a strong genetic component. A Queen’s academic, part of an international team which has discovered a gene that increases the risk of developing schizophrenia found that the discovery of the gene, MEGF10, could be a step in the right direction towards helping those affected. Dr O’Neill and his [...]

Do you have a thought about a relation or link between canine and human cancers? Well, I dont. But researchers from University of Minnesota veterinarian Jaime Modiano do. They are studying the similarities and genetic links between canine and human cancers to help fight the disease. It was revealed in ScienceDaily that beside having friendship [...]

People taking medication should be aware about what medication he/she has, the doses of medicine, and what time will they taken. In line with this caution, recently, researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering have a possible solution for the one in three adults who fail to take their [...]

Over the last two centuries, human activity has transformed the chemistry of Earth’s water and air. This time period brought so much widespread environmental change, and the major influence surely is the use of fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels, is an energy-rich substances that have formed from long-buried plants and microorganisms. It include petroleum, coal, and [...]

Scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Durham University and Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) studying three glaciers in the Amundsen Sea Embayment. These place known as region currently the focus of intense international scientific attention because it is changing faster than anywhere else on the WAIS and it has [...]

Image below shows a bright streak in a gully on the side of a crater in the Centauri Montes region of Mars. This image was generated using numerical computer model by researcher from University of Arizona in Tucson. The middle image shows how a deposit left by a pure liquid water flood would appear in [...]

Caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), AIDS leaves an infected person vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Since HIV was first identified as the cause of AIDS in 1983, a variety of tests have been developed that help diagnose HIV infection. Doctors determine if HIV is present in the body by identifying HIV antibodies. The [...]
