For many centuries many scientists or musicians tried to find connections between music and mathematics, but they didn’t find any precise proof. Now, with the help of a breakthrough that Prof Dmitri Tymoczko from the Princeton University, discovered a couple of years ago, we know that there is a strong link between them.

Researchers from the Oxford University, UK, and from the Yale University, US, have managed to gain control over the brain of female flies and they made the female fruit flies to act like males. They activated the brain cells that control the sexual behavior with a light-pulse.
This activation made the females to sing a courtship […]

Global warming is caused mostly by humans and this fact was confirmed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that showed the heating in a report that includes temperatures from the last 50 years. Many researchers don’t agree with this theory and they say that global warming is caused by natural causes like changes in […]

Efficiency seems to be the key word in the quest for developing new and better technologies. LUXIM Corp. is the proud developer of a new lighting system called LIFI Entertainment. This futuristic system consists of an pill-sized emitter without any electrodes attached and the energy is sent via a concentrated electric field which produces about […]

The silicon has proven once again its capabilities and now it can be coiled around spheres and other shapes without losing its electric performance. This new silicon integrated circuit was developed by a team of researchers from the Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois.
According to John Rogers, Founder Professor of MSE at […]

A team of researchers from the Rice University have developed a new technique that could help at the harvesting hydrogen in bulk. Their idea is to crop hydrogen with the help of buckyballs which are mini carbon-capsules and according to the researchers, those might be “capable of holding volumes of hydrogen so dense as to […]

Everybody heard about LEDs and the brightness of the colors that they emit. Until now the LEDs did not receive too much attention from the big lighting companies and just when there were some cool involving LED lighting, some Californian researchers claim that they have developed a new hybrid light that are cheaper, long-lasting, more […]

Northrop Grumman, the defense-specialized company, is going to manufacture a new “killer drone”. This new machine will do just about anything from missile-defense to manhunt. The combat drone will be called X-47B and will be a project of $635 million and is scheduled to start its flights in November 2009 and two years after that […]

Everybody knows that the bat has very good ears and until now scientists hadn’t been able to reproduce this technique for radars or sonars. Although there were many unsuccessful attempts, now Rolf Muller and Herbert Peremans believe that they can finally succeed.
Their idea has received $8.5 million from the European Union and this funding is […]

After some French researchers have presented a self-healing rubber, now, Angela Belcher, professor of materials science and biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is on the verge to develop an innovative material that will contribute to the manfacturing of self-healing gadgets. This material will heal itself when it breaks and it is water-proof.
This new material is based on […]
