in categoriile: Physics,Personalia,Materials science,Science and religion,Technology One of the Dead Sea Scrolls was created in the area in which it was found. That is the conclusion following a recent research made by experts from Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). The result was announced by Professor Giuseppe Pappalardo at the 12th International Conference on Particle Induced X-Ray Emission and its Analytical Applications (PIXE) in Surrey, UK. This finding was made possible by the combined use of a new system of analysis patented by the INFN National Laboratories of the South, and a particle accelerator located at the same facility.

in categoriile: Biology,Physics,Medicine,Technology The computer mouse and keyboard will be as useful for operating a computer as much as currently diskettes are useful for storing data. That's because we will be able to control computers with simple thoughts. At least that is what suggests a research at Rowan University in the USA.

in categoriile: Agriculture,Biology,Chemistry,Physics,Medicine,Environment,Personalia,Technology French researchers at CNRS Paul Pascal Research Center in Bordeaux have designed smart capsules that are able to release their contents on demand, simply by raising the temperature. This novel system opens up the way to many applications in a large number of fields such as food, perfumes and agriculture, for instance to deliver pesticides above a specific temperature.

in categoriile: Science communication,Biology,Chemistry,Science and education,Technology Students at Atkins Academic and Technology High School in cooperation with Wake Forest University and other community partners developed a new animated film called "Cell Side Story". It is a love story featuring male and female animated characters that dramatize what happens within cells. Kenny Twist represents kinesin, a motor protein found within cells. The DNA girl is DNA, the nucleic acid that tells the cells what to do. The musical video is designed to teach the basics of biotechnology.

in categoriile: Astronomy,Mathematics,Personalia,Space,Technology On the morning of March 7, NASA will launch the Kepler probe to enter an orbit around the Sun. The mission aims to detect planets the size of the Earth that orbit other stars. The spacecraft is equipped with a telescope that will measure the brightness of 170 000 stars simultaneously and continuously for at least three and a half years. It is expected that the information collected during the mission will lead to a better understanding of the evolution of stars. Huge amountsof data will be analyzed by an international scientific consortium called the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium (KASC). The researchers consists of over 200 researchers from 50 institutions around the world, including the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy.
