VBLOC is a new implant that works by blocking a nerve that regulates digestion, contributing thus to the weight loss. The clinical experiments were successful, and now the doctors prepare another 300 persons lot to do the next stage of research.

Hua-wei Zhou, a Geosciences professor from Texas Tech University who was going to use 60 seismometers to track mini-quakes at the Three Gorges reservoir, 250 miles east of the Sichuan earthquake epicenter, is now using the devices to study the safety of the dam.
According to him and his team, the tragedy scenario could have been […]

The humanity has always been interested in the universe, but one of the most interesting and argued fact is what really happens at the edge of the universe and if we can kind of reproduce the extremes in order to reveal the mystery of Big Bang. Researchers have created ultra-cold systems with the purpose of […]

Theoretical physics are one of the most important discoveries that the humanity ever done because we rely on them to develop technologies that the medieval humans thought of them as witch-crafts. Hewlett Packard has proudly informed the whole world that they have developed a revolutionary electrical component.
This new nanoscale component is called a memristor, but […]

Researchers from University of Texas have developed a laser that can produce a power of more than one petawatt. This laser is based on the original petawatt laser which was built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in Livermore, CA in 1999.
The Texas Petawatt Laser is the most powerful operating laser in the world and Todd […]

With the help of science we can do just about anything even music. Here is ArcAttack, a company that build singing Tesla coils and gives very nice musical performances. Besides Tesla coils, its manufacturers, Joe DiPrima, Oliver Greaves and Tony Smith, used a PVC pipe and a robotic drumset.

The “artists” put up a nice […]

The Synchrotron is a highly sophisticated x-ray machine that allows scientists to look at prehistorical insects trapped in opaque amber without slicing the stone. It uses a high-tech tomography method to clearly delimit the shapes of an organism and enables its user to take hundreds of rotational views of the insect.
The technique is called micro-tomography […]

The Olympics are getting closer therefore the organizers are making the final preparations in order to have a perfect display during the games. One of the biggest problems is the rainy climate but the Weather Modification Office in Beijing has come up with a plan.
They will make use of their supercomputers, aircrafts and artillery that […]
