Cell Phones May Help Against Alzheimer’s

Well, well, well…so we go from cell phones causing brain tumors, and frankly sending signals into your brain seems like it is a bad thing (it probably is in reality), scientists claim that cell phone use may actually help protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
The millions of people who spend hours every day on a cell [...]

New Chimp Culture Evidence

We all know that we are a bunch of apes that have evolved into humans. Everyone knows this because one day a chimp had a human baby and then we all realized that we evolved, and that evolution existed. Har har. If you thought I was being serious, shame on you.
Anyways, we know that [...]

2009 Science News of the Year

While most people probably never even hear about many of these stories, anyone that reads a little about science will come a crossed team and be amazed. Many this year have to do with things not of this Earth.
Grab a heated blanket and get ready to read. Here are some of the top Science [...]

What Do We All Make of Climate-Gate?

First of all, isn’t it getting a little old that everything has “Gate” at the end of it? Isn’t THAT a conspiracy? Certainly adding “Gate” to anything taints the debate from the second it is inserted now doesn’t it? Doesn’t mean this isn’t a big deal, but it makes it too cheesy to take seriously [...]

Embryonic Stem Cells With Big Results in Rats With Neck Injuries

We have just been informed that the first human embryonic stem cell treatment may be approved by the FDA for human testing. While the treatment was approved for testing back in January, testing in humans with cervical damage wasn’t approved because preclinical testing with rats hadn’t been completed.
Results of the cervical study currently appear [...]

Ocean in the Desert

In 2005, a 35 mile rift broke through around Ethiopia in Africa, that some scientist believed might be the formation of a new ocean. Further study of the area has pulled more scientists into this belief as well.
The fat burner volcanic processes at work beneath the Ethiopian rift are nearly identical to those at [...]

Stem Cell Research Looking to Help Understand Infertility

Every time I see stem cells in a headline you can expect to see me post about it. Why? Simply because the benefits of stem cell research are off the charts, and for some reason we have many people that don’t want us doing it for various reasons (mostly because they don’t understand it, combined [...]

Possible Mysterious Force on Dark MAtter May Revolutionize Gravity Understanding

A group of astronomers have discovered a possible force acting on dark matter that could change the way we think about and understand one of the most basic principles of our scientific understanding: Gravity. Dr Hongsheng Zhao of the SUPA Centre of Gravity, University of St. Andrews, suggests that an unknown force is acting on [...]

NSF Awards 32 New Plant Genome Projects

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has just awarded just over $100 million to 32 plant genome research projects. These projects are designed to to help in the understanding of the plant genome in hopes that they will be able to understand more fully how they react to the environment. The projects are there to find [...]

Toxin That Kills Fish Could Kill Cancer Cells Too

While anything that effectively kills another species outright sounds awfully dangerous to me when considered as a form of treatment for a human, cancer is a pretty big ass kicker itself so I am interested in just about anything that may help fighting it.
A powerful fish-killing toxin could have cancer-killing properties as well, according to [...]
