LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Toyota unveiled a hydrogen-powered "Car of the Future" that emits only water vapor, at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday. Toyota said the prototype would have a driving range of about 300 miles (483 km) and accelerate from zero to 60 miles (96 km) per hour in about 10 seconds. It also would take only three to five minutes to refuel hydrogen tanks. "Hydrogen-powered vehicles will enter our life sooner than many people believe and in much greater numbers than anyone expects," Bob Carter, Toyota's U.S. vice president, said in a statement. The car is expected to go on sale in the United States ...

Historic deep freeze across North America conclusively proves global warming is getting worse, right? Sunday, January 05, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (NaturalNews) Global warming is getting worse. It's so bad now that it has thrust most of North America into an historic deep freeze with plummeting temperatures that haven't been seen in decades. This is absolute proof that global warming is worsening, and the way I know that is because the same people who told me that record HOT temperature last summer were caused by global warming -- "See? It's really, really hot!" -- are now saying that record COLD temperatures are also caused ...
The eco-friendly wood in rebuilt New Orleans homes is now rotting

Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation has built 100 energy-efficient and eco-friendly houses in New Orleans to replace homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, the organization believes that some of the wood it used is now rotting, reports The New Orleans Advocate. The organization used TimberSIL, an innovative glass-infused wood product produced by a South Carolina manufacturer, to build porches and outside steps. The absence of chromated copper arsenate and other chemicals typically used to prevent rot and decay was a selling point for Make It Right.

Frack to the Future: An Unlikely Place to Find a Shale Bounty by Matt Insley For the past two years, we’ve been investigating the benefits the shale gale is bringing to the U.S. and early investors. 2013 saw America's energy revolution come into its own in a big way. Crude oil production hit 25 year highs… making the U.S. the world’s biggest oil producer over Saudi Arabia. Fracking technology and American expertise has made the U.S. the “new standard in energy production” according to our resource expert Byron King. In today’s final essay in our best-of series, our muddy boots on the ground, Matt Insley, digs up a an important article on fracking that ...

Finding Climate Change By Absolute Rights Contributor on January 1, 2014 MV Akademik Schokalskiy By Vox Day There are some who doubt that God exists. They obviously haven't been paying much attention to the events at the South Pole, where the MV Akademik Schokalskiy was carrying a group of true believers in the gospel of Al Gore to document environmental changes there. For we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God not only exists, but has a rather puckish sense of humor. As it happens, the MV Akademik Schokalskiy will not reach its destination. The “climate scientists” on board are unable to reach the century-old base camp of Douglas Mawson and observe how the ...

rt...The Mars One project has announced the selection of 1,058 hopefuls from over 200,000 applicants to become potential “human ambassadors” on the Red Planet. Eventually, no more than 40 people will be selected to go Mars to never return. “We’re extremely appreciative and impressed with the sheer number of people who submitted their applications,” Mars One Co-Founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp said, putting an end to the second round of the application process. “However, the challenge with 200,000 applicants is separating those who we feel are physically and mentally adept to become human ambassadors on Mars from those who are obviously taking the mission much less ...

Our electrical grid is an accident waiting to happen. In recent months, we’ve been told some things that patriots like us have long suspected. A report has recently been declassified that reveals that due to the U.S. electric grid’s old technology, lack of spare capacity and incapability of keeping pace with the increasing burden being placed upon it, the grid is vulnerable to a sophisticated physical assault that could produce catastrophic results. Everyone has known for many years that the grid is vulnerable to extreme weather, including intense heat in the South, tornados in the heartland, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and blizzards in the Northeast.

Pravda...25.12.2013 It is no secret that publication of articles in prestigious scientific journals increases the chances of the researchers to receive a grant or professorship. This is why, according to a Nobel laureate biologist Randy Schekman, these days such journals only hinder the normal scientific process, appreciating sensational nature of work more than its quality. This summer, when discussions of a scandalous "reform" of the Russian Academy of Sciences were ongoing, its supporters relied on the fact that the share of publications of the Academy of Sciences in prestigious scientific journals of the world is very, very low. According to them, this was a serious ...

World’s Greatest Hunting Rifle Reviewed: The D’Arcy Echols Legend

In a perfect world, all hunting rifles would feed, fire and eject 100 percent of the time in all possible hunting conditions. In a perfect world, a rifle’s components would be scaled to the individual cartridge, ensuring reliability and balance. In a perfect world, scopes would be mounted using a secure and stress-free system designed to precisely fit that individual scope. In a perfect world, all rifles would be capable of accuracy that ensured they could outshoot their owners. Such ideas, though admirable, are not attainable in the economics of mass production where “good enough” is the necessary standard. You can’t make a “perfect” rifle for $500 or even ...

The first metal 3D printer, a cheap thing that can work with steel, came out pretty recently, but there are already plans for commercializing another, one whose potential for change is likened to that of Isaac Newton. That's a pretty tall order, but it's what Esteban Schunemann, PhD student at Brunel University in London, said. When he revealed the Newton 3D Home Metal Printer, he said that “Just like Isaac Newton whose scientific discoveries lead to the industrial revolution, Newton 3D innovates in bringing metal 3D printing to the desktop environment.” That's actually the publicity tag. Esteban is working on a project titled “3D Deposition of Silicone and ...

The six sites chosen by U.S. regulators to test civilian unmanned aircraft will provide a wealth of technical data, starting as soon as six months from now, to help develop drone-safety standards. It doesn’t mean people should expect drones to deliver packages or photograph traffic jams anytime soon. Regulators are still working on how to ensure drones won’t collide with each other or with piloted aircraft, and how they can operate without causing delays in the congested airspace around large cities, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration chief Michael Huerta said. “This is a technology that shows great promise, but it also brings with it significant challenges,” ...

SPIEGEL Online Seventeen rescue robots are competing in Florida this weekend, where their task is to clear away debris, break through walls and climb ladders -- a test run for their use in future disaster scenarios. But the humanoid figures are still a little shaky on their feet. "Atlas" is attached to a hook, like a piece of meat, with his metal limbs dangling limply from his torso. Suddenly the 150-kilogram (330-pound) robot comes to life. The hydraulic system whines, an orange light starts blinking on the robot's head and a laser scanner shaped like a tin can rotates in its face. The knees begin to bend slowly, as Atlas cautiously places his two flat feet onto the ...

The Alchemist's Dream: Make Anything Chris Anderson "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." When Capt. Jean-Luc Picard wants a steaming beverage in his ready room aboard the starship Enterprise, he just utters those words. The ship's "replicator" then assembles the necessary atoms -- including those for the cup -- and produces it, ready for the drinking. Picard thinks nothing of it -- it's hardly more remarkable to him than a microwave oven is to us today. Just as we now use radio waves to excite atoms and generate heat in our own kitchens (which would have been mind-blowing in the 1950s), his replicator uses some fancy energy technology that is never quite specified in ...

Hold your champagne glasses high this holiday season, because the end of 2013 marks the 17th year without global warming. This year has been trying for climate scientists and environmentalists who have been trying hard to explain away the 17-year hiatus in global warming and link “extreme weather” to rising greenhouse gas emissions — despite strong evidence to the contrary. There has been a breakdown in the manmade global warming consensus, and some even argue we are headed for an ice age. In honor of the 17th year without global warming, The Daily Caller News Foundation has put together seven setbacks for global warming alarmism. 1) Studies show that the world was warmer ...
Setting the Table for a Regal Butterfly Comeback, With Milkweed

A monarch butterfly fed on silky red milkweed at one of the 7,450 Monarch Watch way stations spread along migratory routes. It was a pod that, after a gentle squeeze, burst with chocolate brown buttons: seeds of milkweed, the favored — indeed, the only — food of the monarch butterfly caterpillar. Once wild and common, milkweed has diminished as cropland expansion has drastically cut grasslands and conservation lands. Diminished too is the iconic monarch. Dr. Jackson, a University of Northern Iowa biologist and director of its Tallgrass Prairie Center, is part of a growing effort to rescue the monarch. Her prairie center not only grows milkweed seeds for the state’s ...
Science Daily's take on intra-cellular aging

Researchers have discovered a cause of aging in mammals that may be reversible. Share This: Tweet ? The essence of this finding is a series of molecular events that enable communication inside cells between the nucleus and mitochondria. As communication breaks down, aging accelerates. By administering a molecule naturally produced by the human body, scientists restored the communication network in older mice. Subsequent tissue samples showed key biological hallmarks that were comparable to those of much younger animals. "The aging process we discovered is like a married couple -- when they are young, they communicate well, but over time, living in close quarters for many years, ...
