Bioavailable plastics known contain substances that can be absorbed by living systems during their normal physiological functions. But recently, it was revealed in ScienceDaily, that if research at Missouri University of Science and Technology is successful, the plastic bottles of the future could literally disappear within four months of being discarded. By combining and modifying [...]

First thing come up into our mind when we’re talking about solar system maybe the Sun and everything that orbits the Sun, including the planets and their satellites; the dwarf planets, asteroids, Kuiper Belt Objects, and comets; and interplanetary dust and gas. If one could look down on the solar system from far above the North [...]

ScienceDaily reported, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy’items’ => 4,s central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago by using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites. This finding helps resolve a long-standing mystery: why is the Milky Way’items’ => 4,s black hole so quiescent? Black Hole is an extremely [...]

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in elderly men and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in men. It may be detected by digital rectal examination, but recently, researchers at the University of Michigan developed an experimental biomarker test that more accurately detects prostate cancer than any other screening method currently in [...]

As a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and “heads-up” displays in car windshields, engineers have created the first “active matrix” display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits. It was mentioned in ScienceDaily that, the transistors are made of “nanowires,” a tiny cylindrical structures as small as 20 nanometers, [...]

It was revealed in ScienceDaily that a team of scientists led by an archaeologist from The University of Arizona has unearthed the oldest collection gold artifacts found in the Americas. Mark Aldenderfer, a professor of anthropology at the UA, and his team excavated a site in the Peruvian Andes of South America, near Lake Titicaca. The [...]

Hybrid cars are presently considered as very beneficial to the preservation of the environment. A hybrid car combines an electric motor and gasoline engine to provide sufficient power to the vehicle with least fuel usage and fewer emissions. They are also far more fuel-efficient than purely gas-powered cars, and far more practical for everyday [...]

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 [...]
