Google + comes to Windows Phone 7
A few weeks ago Google announced the beta launch of its new social network Google + which is expected to give a tough time to Facebook and Twitter. Just after a few days of Google + beta launch, Google has announced the availability of Google + app for the Windows Phone 7. The Google + [...]
Scientists discover Gossamer-like Sea creature
Scientists have discovered a gossamer-like creature at the bottom of the ocean bed between Indonesia and Philippines coast. This Squidworm have arms on its head and use bristles to swim. This squidworm measures 9.4cm (3.4inch) in length in morphology. Scientists say squidworms live about 100 to 200 meters above the ocean bed and plunges up [...]
Universe’s Gammay-ray bursts can leave behind Black holes
The most powerful explosions in the universe is nothing but the Gamma-rays burst, these Gamma-rays burst occurs when certain stars collapse in the universe and release overwhelming blast of energy and the cosmic left over which is considered as a violent outburst of nature. Studies have suggested that Gamma-rays bursts can leave behind black holes [...]
Mars Hoax back again
Emails circulating claim that on the 27th August, mars will appear as big as a moon and this is once in 60,000 years event! Photos also are attached to make this look dramatic. This could look too good to be true, and yes, it is a hoax. Mars did come very closer to earth, as [...]
There was one Bigfoot, now there is none!
The recent discovery of a Bigfoot turned out to be, as many experts feared, yet another hoax. The two men behind this incredible hoax claimed in August 2008 to have found the corpse of a Bigfoot, an apelike creature beleieved to exist in North America. When the news initially broke out it created media hype [...]
Could this be the future of Computer/PC/Laptop?
I was not taken aback by the pen sized PC concept that was forwarded to me via email by one of my friends. The pen sized and pen look alike gadget transforms to a fully featured PC that works on bluetooth. I believe this concept had been there for over 2 years now (and probably [...]
Arecibo telescope finds critical ingredients for the soup of life in a galaxy far, far away
This is just tomato soup, not the “soup of life.” Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have detected for the first time the molecules methanimine and hydrogen cyanide – two ingredients that build life-forming amino acids – in a galaxy some 250 million light years away. “Just add water!” said Robert [...]
Body weight influenced by thousands of genes
Maybe it’s not just the cheese puffs. Reporting in the online journal BMC Genetics, researchers from the Monell Center have for the first time attempted to count the number of genes that contribute to obesity and body weight. The findings suggest that over 6,000 genes – about 25 percent of the genome – help determine [...]
Supercomputer could throw light on ‘mysterious’ dark energy
Looks pretty cool, eh? Cosmologists have run a series of huge computer simulations of the Universe that could ultimately help solve the mystery of dark energy. Results of the simulations, carried out by Durham University’s world-leading Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC), tell researchers how to measure dark energy – a repulsive force that counteracts gravity. [...]
Worms help Penn researchers explain the evolution of sleep
Hopefully they didn’t use gummies for the study. The roundworm C. elegans, a staple of laboratory research, may be key in unlocking one of the central biological mysteries: why we sleep. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine report in this week’s advanced online edition of Nature that the round worm has a [...]
