Microbots Could Be Used in Electrically Powered Muscles

November 12, 2014 Posted by Editor

Researchers believe that micro-muscles could be used in the future to propel tiny robots smaller than a grain of sand through veins. These microbots could then enhance muscle contractions when controlled by electrical stimulation, so that they complete or even carry out complex operations. As such, scientists say, they could carry out tasks that neither tiny robots alone nor large devices could … [Read more...]

Scientists May Have Been Wrong About Higgs Boson

November 8, 2014 Posted by Contributor

The entire scientific world was beside itself when CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced the discovery of a new particle last year. The Higgs boson received a lot of praise, and it was postulated that it is because of it that other fundamental particles have mass. However, researchers now claim that the particle discovered then may have not been the Higgs boson. … [Read more...]

Spaceweather in the Focus of Researchers

October 29, 2014 Posted by Staff

Significant research has been conducted in the attempts of explaining the physics behind space weather and the geomagnetic storms it causes. Our solar system’s star regularly hurls millions of tons of plasma gas towards Earth, as solar wind, which then acts by buffeting the magnetic field protecting our planet. What is important is that this solar wind can be the cause of geomagnetic storms so … [Read more...]

Gut Bacteria Could Help Identify People Who are at Risk for Cancer

August 8, 2014 Posted by Contributor

Risk for Cancer

A new study that analyzed gut bacteria has revealed that it could improve identification of the people who are at risk or who already have colon cancer. Apparently, it is possible to tell if a person will develop colon cancer, based on the bacteria found in their gut! The analysis of the composition of gut bacteria which is also called gut micro biome helps determine what people are at risk of … [Read more...]
