Brown fat is known as a certain tissue in mammals that helps warm the body. It is found in patches along the neck and between the shoulders of newborn mammals, including humans, and in adults of hibernating animals. Recently, a study that has been conducted by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has successfully created an energy burning brown [...]

Have you ever imagined about using Hydrogen as fuel for your daily life? Some of you may have still no idea about the use of this element. Recently, Engineers at the University of Leeds believes that someday, we’ll be able to operate laptop or cars by the old chip fat, extracted from the waste materials. They [...]

Electric cars today really get a big attention from US government and commercial viewer. Beside supporting the issue of energy efficiency, electric cars are also claimed to be environmentally frienly, because in most cases, they use an alternative fuel car that uses electric motors and motor controllers instead of an internal combustion engine (ICE). Currently, [...]

It was reported in ScienceDaily that an international group of researchers led by Dr. Renate Matzke-Karasz, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, has indirectly detected signs of giant sperm in fossilized ostracods. Picture shows the length of the filamentous, helical sperm-cells of freshwater ostracods can reach up to ten times the body length of its producer. The longest [...]

In the news reported by ScienceDaily, June 9th, it was mentioned that there has been found a surprising chemical weapon used by some Amazonian poison frogs. The poisen itself identified as never been known before, called as the N-methyldecahydroquinolines. As I read on some sources, it is reported that N-methyldecahydroquinolines known to beat the Class of Alkaloids. [...]

Researchers in Purdue University’s Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. They created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs and works for all colors of the visible spectrum, making it possible to cloak larger objects than before and possibly leading to practical applications in “transformation optics. the [...]

Radioactive wastes are waste products containing radioactive materials. They are usually the products of nuclear processes, such as nuclear fission. However, industries not directly connected to the nuclear industry may produce large quantities of radioactive waste. Recently, it has been reported in ScienceDaily that Scientists in Germany and India are reporting development of a new polymer [...]

Look at the video! The team of doctors from the Heart Hospital in London, joining with the computer animators from Glassworks, have created a model of heart–a virtual heart–that can be used by heart specialist. NewScientist reported that this super-realistic computer model makes it possible to explore the heart’s anatomy in ways not possible in [...]

As well as green plants and algae, some bacteria are also capable of using the energy in sunlight, to get their energy through photosynthesis. The green bacteria are particularly specialised for growth at very low light intensities. The ability of green bacteria to grow at very low light intensities depends on the way the light-absorbing [...]

Heart disease known to be number one killer in the US, and also the major cause of disability. Researches that related to the cure of heart disease have been widely published. You know, in the report of DOI, it was reported that listen to the music can be the way of heart disease healing. Well, i [...]
