Biofuel known to be the solid, liquid or gaseous fuel derived from relatively recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. This gives us an information that biofuel can be derived from fossil fuels, and fossil fuels derived from long dead living material. What about deriving the [...]

To date, the term of “battery” is often used for the electronic equipment. Battery substitutes the use of electricity for some devices. What pops up in your mind when I say that nowadays, we can find battery for car? Is that possible? Certainly it is. The nanoball battery has been developed to be used for car, exactly [...]

What does it feel when you can interact with an environment or the world you’ve imagined for so long? Do you have thoughts when the world in your dream, or the place you want to visit are now no longer imagination, but real?  Now, with the first virtual reality headset, it is no longer impossible to [...]

Driving at night is not as easy as driving at day light. People tends to feel sleepy, and this is one of the cause of accidents in the highway. Seeing this, the giant car maker–Toyota–are now developing a system to rouse drivers before they quite literally drift off completely. It works as a warning system by [...]

After researchers at the University of Illinois found the silicon photonic crystals as the key to optical cloaking in June, 2008, engineers at Duke University recently has produced a new type of cloaking device, which is significantly more sophisticated at cloaking in a broad range of frequencies. ScienceDaily reported, the engineers develop some technique using mathematical [...]

Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body, has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure. What about Calcium in plants? We know that plants need sixteen chemical elements that are essential for its growth and survival, [...]

In the previous research held by Departments of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, and Department of Cancer Biology, Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, the induced alignment of membrane proteins has been used for NMR structure determination. Yet recently, Arizona State University researchers reveal for the first time the three-dimensional character of [...]

ScienceDaily reported that genevision will answer the needs of uncanny ability to view the activity of any chosen gene in real time through a specially modified camera. A new study in BMC Biotechnology correlates real-time gene expression with movement and behavior for the first time. It is expected that this technology will enable correlate behavior [...]

In the University of California, Berkeley, Jack Gallant and colleagues showed that they could tell which of a set of images someone was looking at from a brain scan. They mentioned that we’ll be able to record images we’ve seen by analyzing the brain signals, so that we can reconstruct the images in a record. To do [...]

Due to human needs to minimize the damage effect of hurricanes or typhoons, the scientists at the University of Akron in Ohio are now developing a new technology. The researchers led by Arkadii Leonov, came with the idea of converting the destructive power of the storm into heat energy from warm oceans into damaging [...]
