Astronomers has come up with new discovery, they are never tired, they work every seconds believing that there is more to creation, which they don't have knowledge of at the moment. This is their drive. This is their passion.  I love their passion and they deserve applaud. They have detected a planet living outside our solar system via X-ray for the first time since exoplanets were first discovered nearly 20 years ago, a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal reports. Led by Katja Poppenhaeger of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, Mass., the article explains how an advantageous alignment of a planet and its parent star in the system HD 189733 located 63 light-years from Earth enabled NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM Newton Observatory to observe a dip in X-ray intensity as the planet transited the star.

Modern computer are very fast, possibly they are about to get faster In a find that could pave a approach for faster, some-more absolute computing devices, researchers have clocked a fastest probable electrical switching in a naturally captivating element magnetite. Performed by researchers from the US Department of Energy's, the scientists used the facility's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray in order to determine that it only takes 1 trillionth of a second to flip the on-off electrical switch in samples of magnetite, placing it thousands of times faster than those currently in use. The discovery could pave the way for the speediest, most computationally powerful computing devices yet.

Frying and microwaving food may put individuals at risk of ingesting greater numbers of furans, a compound that has been linked to cancer in animal studies, according to a new study. Published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, the scientists report they found three times as many furans in their fish fingers when they fried them in olive oil and two times as many using sunflower oil compared to when they baked them in the oven. Compounding this, they reported, is the fact that reheating the greasy snack in the microwave once again increased the number of furans, this time adding 8.15 micrograms of furans per gram, compared to the original 10 added by the oven or 30 gained when fried in olive oil. ased on their findings, the researchers deduced that the number of furans was lower when the temperature and frying time was shorter. The group also found that their numbers decreased the more time elapsed after cooking.

A team of Australian scientists and wetsuit designers have developed a pair of anti-shark wetsuits that can camouflage swimmers from the colorblind fish or trick sharks into thinking whoever is in the wetsuit is poisonous. The ant-shark suits retail for about $500, according to The Daily Mail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86FdOtw9W4U&feature=player_embedded Designers at the company Shark Attack Mitigation Systems (SAMS) and researchers from the University of Western Australia collaborated on the technology behind the project, which resulted in two wetsuit concepts: one with a blue pattern which cannot be seen by colorblind sharks, and another that utilizes a starkly contrasting stripe pattern that mimics the colors of poisonous fish.

Researchers in Switzerland say they have made microchips that  is capable of mimicking the way our brains process information, unlocking some of the mystery around how the world's most efficient computer functions. Scientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, together with colleagues in Germany and the United States, created electronic systems comparable to a human brain both in size, speed and energy consumption, the university said in a statement late Monday. Just like the brain, their so-called neuromorphic chips are capable of processing and reacting to information in real-time, it said. "The challenge is to build something as close as possible to an actual brain," Giacomo Indiveri, a University of Zurich professor of Neuroinformatics and one of the researchers on the project, told AFP. Electronic systems in the past have been designed to react to their environments, as with blinds that automatically close when sunlight hits them. ...

Technology is moving so fast in the sense that new inventions are coming out every day. People are putting their brain to work and some are coming up with unimaginable ideas. Douglas Engelbart died recently at the age of 88. He was a great researcher and had major influence on what is happen in the world of technology today. He was know for his invention of computer mouse. Mr Engelbert invention unveil the eyes of many.

a man without self-control is like a city without walls. "Scriptures"   In the 14th century, in the land we now call Belgium, there was a duke by the name of Raynald III.. Raynald was grossly overweight and was commonly called by his Latin nickname, Crassus, which means "Fat." Now, it seems that Raynald had a violent quarrel with his younger brother Edward and Edward was so angry he led a successful revolt against him. But Edward did not kill Raynald. Instead, he built a room around Raynald in the Nieuwkerk castle and he promised his brother he could regain his title and property as soon as he was able to leave the room. The room had no bars on the windows and no lock on the doors. The only problem was that the door was smaller than normal size, and Raynald III could not squeeze through the opening and set himself free. This would not have been difficult for most people since the room had several windows and a door of near normal size, and none was locke...

The only person that don't retire, is a man of ideas Men of ideas don't have retirement age, even in death the world is still taping from their  well of ideas. Thomas Edison might not be with us today but the world is still benefiting from his legacy. The co-founders of Microsoft Bill Gates and Paul Allen are not going to be with us forever but their idea of Microsoft have a legacy that is definitely going to out-live them. The late Steve Job might be gone today but his idea of Apple company is something that is still making impact in the world of technology. How ever time might not permit me to start listing names of great men and women who saw and conquered, but one thing I will quickly like to say is that, inventors are not affected by retirement age and their ideas never die.

New Invention, a computer that daydreams just like humans Scientists have developed a virtual model of the brain that daydreams like human do, a finding that can help better diagnose and treat brain injuries. Researchers created the computer model based on the dynamics of the brain cells and the many connections those cells make with their neighbours and with cells in other brain regions. They hope the model will help them understand why certain portions of the brain work together when a person daydreams or is mentally idle. This, in turn, may help doctors better diagnose and treat brain injuries. The study was published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

US lawmakers propose national park on Moon Washington:  US lawmakers are pushing a plan to establish a new national park that would be quite literally be out of this world- on the Moon. Two legislators introduced a bill last week that would establish a national park on the Moon. Called the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, the bill calls for the creation of an historic national park on the lunar surface to preserve artifacts from past Apollo missions. The proposed lunar national park, then, would consist solely of artifacts left behind from Apollo missions, such as footprints and landing gear. This would not include the moon itself, because according to the international Outer Space Treaty of 1967, no one can own the moon.
