Scientists from the American Chemical Society have been testing a gold-based sealing material on pig intestines with success and believe it could replace traditional stitches and suture techniques. They found that the technique produced a 'liquid-tight and elastic seal' and also improved operation t…
At work, I find myself surrounded by hidden solid state technology such as: a laser light interrupted by a mass initiating light. The speed of the laser light, interrupted by the solid mass, controls the velocity or speed of the electricity; which is twice the speed of the laser light that activated…

Kiera mixed toilet bowl cleaner with aluminum foil in a small water bottle. The chemical reaction caused the bottle cap to pop off the top and created a loud noise, ki…
Researchers believe that the hypothalamus - the area of the brain which controls hunger, thirst, body temperature and fatigue - may be the 'fountain of ageing' For generations, we have tried, and failed, to find the key to eternal youth. But scientists think they may now be one step closer to unlo…
The tiny 80 milligram device has a pair of buzzing fly-like wings that flap 120 times a second A winged robot of the size of a housefly has taken its first controlled flight. Dubbed the 'RoboBee', the tiny 80 milligram device has a pair of buzzing fly-like wings that flap 120 times a second. The…
There is a documentary out there about sex and attraction...I can't remember what its called...something like Science of Sex or Psychology of Sex. I don't remember, but it is really interesting so you should watch it if you can find it! One of the experiments they did had to do with people's attr…
NASA has begun testing models of a 'son of Concorde' aircraft, a passenger plane that would travel faster than the speed of sound. The supersonic aircraft, which has been designed by The Boeing Company, is hoping to fill the gap left by Concorde when it was retired in November 2003. At the moment,…
