The frontier of the crucial mining industry isn’t a place on Earth. It is on asteroids. Asteroids are conglomerations of dust, metals, and rock. Some of them also contain tar, and ice. “C-Type” asteroids, one of the three types, are abundant in carbon and water (which is bound up within hydrated clay minerals). These C-Types […]

Many scientists take some natural structure as example and try to recreate it mechanically and eventually apply it to industrial manufacturing, medicine, transportation and our every-day-life at all. David Leigh, a professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of Manchester, is one of these scientists, but the special thing here is that he […]

This is one of the first examples of how impressive and strong influence a big media could have over her audience. The whole thing began as a radio drama for Halloween on 30th of October, 1938, and broadcasted on the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. The radio show was supposed to be 60 minutes long, […]

IBEX, which stands for Interstellar Boundary Explorer, observed for the first time this four-leaf clover shaped structure. Such tails were spotted after other stars, but it has not been easy to see if our Sun leaves a tail behind. This situation is due to the fact that the particles that form the tail do not […]

According to a Chilean media, “Ata” was found by Oscar Munoz in 2003, in a ghost town inside the Atacama Desert, called La Noria. [Image Source: Youtube] Munoz said he found a white cloth near abandoned church that contains “a strange skeleton no bigger than 15cm” with hard teeth, a bulging head with an additional […]

When it became clear that fossil fuels will be exhausted some day, mankind started searching for other fuel sources. At present, most famous are bio-fuels derived from plants and algae, as well as methane and gas produced by degradation of living matter. Biofuels, however, offer some difficulties for which most modern car engines are not […]

As we all know, our genetic material consists of DNA (DesoxyriboNucleic Acid) which is, roughly explained, information needed for protein synthesis. According to different scientific teams, the human genome is between 2 and 3 meters long (i.e. the overall length of the DNA molecules in a single human cell, located normally in the cellular nucleus). […]

 Dr. Juan Yin and his research colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai have recently used an experiment which, to them, demonstrates that the lower limit — yes, the lower limit — to the speed associated with entanglement dynamics (which is what Albert Einstein called “spooky action at a distance”) […]

If your dream is to travel to a different world, then Mars One, Dutsch non-profit organization could make it real. Not so long ago the organization released its basic requirements to apply for a trip to Mars. There is no information about any Dutsch space program, so many people may consider Mars One mission as […]

This mountain is located on the fourth planet from the Sun – Mars. It is called Olympus Mons (Mount Olympus in Latin) and is almost 22 km (14 miles) tall, which makes it the highest known mountain in the Solar System. For comparison, the tallest mount on Earth is Everest with height of 8848m (29 […]

A new species of sculpting spider has been discovered in Peru. Scientists at the time of this writing believe it to be a member of the Cyclosa genus of arachnids. This spider is unique among the others in the genus, however. The spider is small but sculpts a replica of a quite large and anatomically […]

This is one of the items which sees a future with very little spare time in households, where everything will have to be faster. Also, it foresees the tendency of the urban gardens where people grow their food in the city they live in. It also saves water, which is a serious problem in many […]

Japanese scientists succeeded to grow in vitro a huge number of lymphocytes which  could potentially be used against cancer cells and HIV. Invitro means cultivated and grown in artificial laboratory environment (i.e. opposite of in vivo, which is growth in a living organism as in the nature). This research is published in the journal Cell Stem […]

Voyager 1 it is at the edge of the solar system and is the only earth vessel that reached this frontier.

An international team of scientists is convinced that ultraprecise portable atomic clocks will make identifying mineral deposits or concealed water resources within the Earth using clocks a reality in the next decade.

A new power-free microfluidic chip developed by researchers at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute (ASI) enables detection of microRNA from extremely small sample volume in only 20 minutes. By drastically reducing the time and quantity of sample required for detection, the chip lays the groundwork for early-stage point-of-care diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and […]

A Northwestern University research team developed a process to manufacture single laser devices the size of a virus particle which operate at room temperature. These plasmonic nanolasers may readily integrate into silicon-based photonic devices, all-optical circuits and nanoscale biosensors. Size reduction of photonic and electronic elements is critical piece in future development of ultra-fast data […]
