You can’t hear it, but the Earth is constantly humming. And some parts of the world sing louder than others.
After discovering the mysterious low-frequency buzz in 1998,
scientists figured out that the Earth’s hum is caused not by
earthquakes or atmospheric turbulence, but by ocean waves colliding
with the seafloor. Now, researchers have pinpointed the source of the
Earth’s “background noise,” and it looks like it’s coming primarily
from the Pacific coast of North America.
What should be clear here is that the production of the EEStor nano capacitors represents a remarkable technical achievement and the test results published show they are standing up. I can see from the cloud of commentary that a lot of impatience is been expressed that is seriously misplaced. They have the brick. Building from that brick is challenging but I certainly do not see it as a deal breaker.
What you cannot buy is time. Everything takes time to get right. The brick of the computer was the first miserable transistor. Yet that allowed us to immediately imagine today’s technology. The only catch was that our imaginations needed thousands of man years of time investment.
General Fusion's reactor design consists of 220 pistons that
simultaneously ram a metal sphere. This creates a shock wave inside the
sphere, so that plasma rings in the center create a fusion reaction.
When Angela Witkamp heard that a local research company would soon be testing a swine flu vaccine, she had no reservations about signing up her two young daughters for a clinical trial.
“Any vaccination you get, there are side effects,” Witkamp said. “But the benefits of getting the vaccination definitely outweigh them. There are people dying from the swine flu.
“Some of my friends call us guinea pigs, but they are not fully informed. The vaccination that they will be studying will be the same that anyone can get at the health department [when it is approved].
Include preventative and safety measures for your food, water, sanitation, health, and safety. Accidents and injuries can occur during disasters as individuals are performing activities that they are not used to doing. You do not need to complicate your already difficult situation with injuries. Try to stay as healthy as possible, avoiding illness or injuries.
The government has ordered 195 million doses of swine flu vaccine from five manufacturers, along with immune boosters called adjuvants that may be needed to ramp up the vaccine's potency.
Qteros, formerly Sun Ethanol, recently announced that it has broken the barrier of ethanol production from cellulosic biomass feedstocks such as corn stover, sugarcane and woody biomass. As most biofuels companies report the production of 50 grams of ethanol per liter, Qteros says it is now producing 70 grams of ethanol per liter or approximately 100 gallons per ton.
No one should voluntarily or otherwise take any vaccine, let alone one as untested and dangerous as for H1N1. But make no mistake. The dominant global media are readying a high intensity fear-mongering campaign to convince the unwary...
Despite the fact that there have been no deaths whatsoever from swine flu in the Mediterranean country, the Greek government has resolved to immunize its entire population of 12 million...
Judge Thomas Goethals said the “significant medical public health event” in the men’s jail is good cause to temporarily suspend constitutional guarantees to speedy trials, preliminary hearings and arraignments for some criminal case defendants.
The nanoparticles are made with a commercially available product known as "liposomes" -- small chemical spheres made of fatty molecules that can package drugs and other chemicals. Liposomes are a powerful emerging tool in medicine because they can be designed to carry many different drugs and manipulated to control how long they stay in the bloodstream
Northcom has a plan “on the table” for “five regional military teams” to back up FEMA when the pandemic hits. Fox’s Brain Wilson reports the military will be involved in imposing “mass quarantines,” that is to say martial law.
Setting the obvious aside, moving a truck load of fresh food from California directly to the East coast with no mechanical vibration at a speed of around 70 mile per hour is a huge commercial improvement. You also can achieve point to point delivery rather easily from a parking lot or open field in California at the processor to a field beside the distributer in New York. This technology package makes this all plausible and economically feasible.
The Washington Post confirmed today that the swine flu vaccine, which is set to be rolled out nationwide this fall in what some fear could ultimately become a mandatory vaccination program, will contain mercury, a toxin linked with autism and neurological disorders.
A plague with proper planning can be highly profitable. Whatever the truth of what swine flu and related vaccines are, it can be used as a way to keep control in a situation that is quickly shifting out of control.
Here is the physics theory behind 4 dramatic demonstrations-walking on
broken glass, dipping one's fingers in molten lead, breaking a concrete block
over someone lying between beds of nails, and picking up an orange-hot piece of
silica tile.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is preparing to sign an order authorizing the military to set up five regional teams to deal with the potential outbreak of H1N1 influenza if FEMA requests help.
Startup GreenRay Solar is getting funding to develop this kind of technology, so that one day a homeowner can buy a solar panel and pretty much install it him/herself. Right now, you usually have to be a licensed electrician to do the electrical work needed to install conventional panels. But GreenRay’s panels would be a lot simpler, because they bypass the inverter step. It still might not be as easy as plugging in an appliance, but it would bring PV installation down a couple notches, within the reach of aspiring DIY-ers
A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researcher has developed a screening method that would use ionic liquids - a special type of molten salt that becomes liquid under the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius) - to separate carbon dioxide from its source, making it a cleaner, more viable and stable method than what is currently available.
According to a CNN report, the military will assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant swine flu outbreak in the U.S. this fall, stoking fears that the pandemic, will be used as an excuse to implement martial law and a mandatory vaccination program.
A 10-year-old girl from Germany has had quite a normal life despite the
fact she was born with only half her brain. Even more surprising,
she has almost perfect vision in one of her eyes.
Now, scientists have figured out why. The girl's brain rewired itself —
likely in the womb — so that it's able to process information from both
the right and left fields of vision even though she is missing the right brain hemisphere, which failed to develop while she was in the womb.
In this week’s Nature Physics an international team, led by
Oxford University scientists, report that a short pulse from the FLASH
laser ‘knocked out’ a core electron from every aluminium
atom in a sample without disrupting the metal’s crystalline structure.
This turned the aluminium nearly invisible to extreme ultraviolet
radiation.
''What we have created is a completely new state of matter nobody
has seen before,’ said Professor Justin Wark of Oxford University’s
Department of Physics, one of the authors of the paper. ‘Transparent
aluminium is just the start. The physical properties of the matter we
are creating are relevant to the conditions inside large planets, and
we also hope that by studying it we can gain a greater understanding of
what is going on during the creation of 'miniature stars' created by
high-power laser implosions, which may one day allow the power of nuclear fusion to be harnessed here on Earth.’
Conventional wisdom has it that the first animals evolved in the ocean.
Now researchers studying ancient rock samples in South China have found
that the first animal fossils are preserved in ancient lake deposits,
not in marine sediments as commonly assumed.
The sight was not that unusual, at least not for Mosul, Iraq, on a
summer morning: a car parked on the sidewalk, facing opposite traffic,
its windows rolled up tight. Two young boys stared out the back window,
kindergarten age maybe, their faces leaning together as if to share a whisper.
The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.
The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in
extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day,
scientists now reveal. Research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times
less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive.
The United States has become one of the more aggressive nations in promoting alternative energy technologies, but at the federal level tax credits and depreciation incentives are not currently enough to encourage sustainable demand growth. Instead, some states and municipalities have taken the lead in providing incentives through a variety of mechanisms ranging from upfront rebates and property tax credits to renewable energy credits and even European-style feed-in tariffs.
