Small Planet To Be Build By A Scientist To Test The Magnetic Field

Posted on 11 June 2008

We all know what a compass is, but ever since it was discovered we don’t know why the magnetic field keeps the needle of the compass to point north. Scientists came up with many ideas, but none of them were satisfying. Now, a geophysicist named Dan Lathrop has build his own planet that will create […]

Successful Cold Fusion Claimed By A Japanese Scientist

Posted on 30 May 2008

A cold fusion breakthrough has been announced by a former physics professor at the Osaka University. The professor named Yoshiaki Arata performed a demonstration regarding cold fusion helped by his co-worker Yue-Chang Zhang.
The researchers used the force of pressure to determine the deuterium (D) gas into a cell which contained palladium dispersed in zirconium oxide […]

Low Cost Concentrated Light LEDs

Posted on 17 May 2008

Until now, light-emitting diodes have been unable to compete with light bulbs in terms of light output. A one-watt LED delivers about the same optical output as a hundred-watt light bulb, so diodes are unbeatable in terms of energy efficiency.
Dr. Christian Wenzel from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen stated that his […]

Software That Finds Weak Spots In Statues

Posted on 29 March 2008

The new technique called Scan and Solve was developed by the researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Florida International University and allows engineers and sculptors to check whether a building or statue has areas that could crack sooner or later.
The program uses 3D data of the objects to foretell where they are most likely to […]

Black Holes Inside A Fiber Optic Cable

Posted on 10 March 2008

A team of British researchers have successfully developed a black hole inside a fiber optic cable and to be more specific they created an artificial event horizon. Ulf Leonhardt, physicist at St. Andrews University, says that they actually created pairs of black and white holes which exist as long as they send light pulses through […]
