ScienceAlert A company is raising crowd-sourced funds to turn the U.S.'s roads into giant energy farms. According to their Indigogo page, a company called Solar Roadways want to cover every highway in the U.S. in thick LED-lit glass solar panels. There are around 30,000 square kilometres of roads in the U.S., so if their plan is successful, the energy-generating potential is huge - in fact, is every paved surface was covered with their solar panels, they would produce more energy than the U.S. consumes. Solar Roadways' hexagonal solar panels can generate enough power to light the road, melt ice and snow, and send leftover energy to cities. The was first presented in 2010, but ...

Iran has unveiled a domestically produced version of a sophisticated US drone it captured back in 2011. The stealth drone was unveiled in an exhibition at the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces' Central Command, attended by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. Other Iranian drones, including Shahed 129 and 125, were also on display at the exhibition. The expo put on display the achievements of the IRGC Aerospace Forces in the design and development of drones, radars and defense systems as well as anti-ship, ballistic and anti-shield missile systems. The US RQ-170 Sentinel was reverse-engineered by IRGC experts in about two years. ...

The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since. Click for Full Text!

Search for alien life could remain fruitless, study finds

Given that we are unlikely to be visiting an exoplanet any time soon, astronomers have been contemplating whether it might be possible to detect indications of simple life – a biosignature – from a distance. Many think that the strongest case for extraterrestrial life would be the discovery of oxygen and methane on the same body. They also think that the likelihood of finding such a biosignature is greatest on an Earth-like planet that is orbiting a sun- like star. Astronomers who hope to search for these biosignatures in expolanets, however, may be in for a disappointment. New research finds that there is no way we can confirm that such a signature is actually the result of ...

Recently Arthur Faram, while investigating his Celtic Genealogy, discovered an ancient and historically revealing science. After determining that this science had not been mentioned in any previous publications, The Faram Research Foundation named the ancient science Geoglyphology. “Geo” for earth, “glyph” for writing and “ology “ for the study of… . The original function of Geoglyphology, by the ancients, was to mark and claim territories. Since its rediscovery, this ancient science has been used to expand both the search area and the knowledge base available to the Archeologist and related disciplines. In addition, since the science was primarily used ...

WEDNESDAY, May 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Move over, Frankenstein! Your 21st-century counterpart has just been announced. In true sci-fi fashion, a team of researchers from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla, Calif., has created a brand-new bacteria based on a genetic structure found nowhere on Earth. According to lead researcher Floyd Romesberg, the feat involved artificially engineering a unique combination of DNA material -- a combination not found in any living creature -- and then successfully inserting it into a living cell that usually contains only natural combinations of DNA. "Life on Earth in all its diversity is encoded by only two pairs of DNA bases, ...

"If you haven't figured it out by now, we love wagons on this show. To some they're a misunderstood breed, but to those in the know, they're amazing. Not only were the wagons of yesteryear known for their styling, but their capacity to haul as much cargo as a modern day pickup. This 1964 Pontiac Catalina Safari started off life as a Police Wagon, but was transformed by its owner into the kick-ass, tire-shredding monster you see here. With a Nelson Racing Engines 468 cid big-block under the hood, some updated suspension bits and a killer look, this big green machine is outside-the-box styling at its best."

Presstv Despite having officially withdrawn its support for the still-widely-popular Windows XP, Microsoft has offered up a fix for an Internet Explorer flaw, which also covers XP users. The US technology giant stopped supporting XP on April 8. It offered the security patch on Thursday because the security flaw had come to light so close to the end of the support deadline. XP is estimated to be currently used by hundreds of millions of customers. Microsoft learned about the serious security loophole on the browser over the weekend after learning that a sophisticated group of hackers had exploited the bug to launch attacks in a campaign dubbed "Operation Clandestine Fox.” ...

BERLIN, April 25 (Xinhua) -- A study recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology opens up new avenues in biohydrogen research, the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) said on Friday. Scientists at the TU Berlin succeeded in explaining the function of a molecular switch in biomolecules. The research was carried out with the Free University Berlin, the Charite and the Humboldt University of Berlin. The findings are significant not only for basic research but also for the technical application of biological hydrogen conversion, scientists said. Knowledge of the molecular structure of hydrogenases paves the way for the synthesis of chemical model compounds to produce ...
Pod-shaped superbike breaks speed record

PressTV... A University of Liverpool team has designed a capsule-shaped superbike, which can travel at 90 mph. The Arion1 Velocipede, which resembles in shape to a flu tablet, is enclosed in a lightweight carbon fiber shell, giving the vehicle a streamlined shape which allows it to cut through the air more easily. The previous record stood at 83.1 mph. The design imitates an inverted ‘teardrop’ shape to incise through the air as easily as possible. The bike forgoes a windscreen due to it interfering with the aerodynamics and has been tapped for a camera, mounted on the outside, which helps the driver navigate via an internal monitor. The eight-strong team will run the bike in ...

Trials are underway in a town south of Amsterdam on roads bearing markings, which absorb light during the day and diffuse it at night potentially superseding street lighting. The markings on the roads in Oss, 100 kilometers south of the Dutch capital, have used a special paint containing a special "photo-luminizing" powder, which glows after dark. The luminescent effect lasts for up to eight hours. Interactive artist Daan Roosegaarde has pioneered the idea. He has joined forces with a Dutch civil engineering company to put the idea into effect. “These are “Glowing Lines”, which form part of the Smart Highway project. We developed a type of paint, which ...

CANBERRA, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists have invented a simple and cheap way of making a high-powered lens that can transform a smart phone into a high-resolution microscope. The Australian National University (ANU) reported Thursday that the lenses, costing less than a cent, promise a revolution in science and medicine in developing countries and remote areas. The lens fabrication technique was invented by Dr. Steve Lee from the ANU Research School of Engineering, who collaborated with Dr. Tri Phan from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research to find ways to transform the lentil-sized lens into a medical imaging tool. The lenses are made by using the natural ...

I am back from the Panama trip and catching up on my work. Part of that of course is reading a great deal and this article puts a very positive spin on solar energy. In the ten year study that I produced for our members solar was to reach somewhere near 130 million ounces of silver use by 2015 or so. Right now we are about half that level and some projects have cut back--especially in Germany which was a leader, but as we reported the German Government decided to cut back subsidizing solar. In the meantime we are getting mixed message from India that has purportedly mandated their government building to go solar. Further one of the largest solar facilities in the world is planned to be ...
