Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are working on a system that uses small amounts of otherwise waste energy to convert water into hydrogen fuel. The process is simple and recycles waste that wouldn’t be used ordinarily.
“This study provides a simple and cost-effective technology for direct water splitting that may generate hydrogen fuels by [...]

Yup…this is what I am going to talk about. Hermaphrodite chickens. Well…not so much that weird, but scientists have puzzled for hundreds of years why some chickens seem to appear male one one side, and female on the other. This important mystery has been solved according to Science Daily.
Let’s be frank here. Neither you, nor [...]

This isn’t Fahrenheit either. This is Celsius (Go to bottom to see Celsius to Fahrenheit calculation). Farhenheit is over 7 Trillion degrees .
Scientists after a collision of gold atoms traveling at the speed of light took this temperature from a formation of a dense glob of matter. The matter was meaured at an estimated [...]

Scientists in Italy have found evidence of the role viruses played in human evolution they said Friday. Their hope is that they can use this information to study and create vaccines and better drugs (nice) in the future.
They found more than 400 different mutations in 139 genes that play a role in people’s risk of [...]

Unless you are living under a rock you know that one o the biggest discussion points over the last decade revolve around finding alternative fuel and energy sources. Recently, scientists in France have been able to generate a chemical energy by use of Photosynthesis. Their discovery created a biofuel cell that might lead to conversion [...]

Creating and artificial blood alternative to real human blood is a huge business. Personally, I have never really even thought about this concept before, but it definitely peaked my interest when I saw an article discussing the research going into this goal.
In the UK, there has been more than one billion pounds spent over the [...]
