Biologists discover bacterial defense mechanism against aggressive oxygen

Brussel, November 19th 2009 - Bacteria possess an ingenious mechanism for preventing oxygen from harming the building blocks of the cell. This is the new finding of a team of biologists that includes Joris Messens of VIB, a life sciences research institute in Flanders, Belgium, connected to the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Hydrino fractional quantum states only exist from a relativistic perspective.

Fractional quantum state hydrogen can only exists from a relativistic perspective . The Hydrino was dismissed by mainstream physicists because it was defined as having a ground state lower than the Bohr radius.

As velocity approaches C on spatial axis( x=volume), Time axis is suppressed (event horizon),
As velocity approaches C on time axis (y= time), Volume axis is suppressed (Casimir cavity).

Mystery of bat with an extraordinary nose solved

Blacksburg, Va. -- A research paper co-written by a Virginia Tech faculty member explains a 60-year mystery behind a rare bat's nose that is unusually large for its species. The findings soon will be published in the scientific trade journal, Physical Review Letters.

Bringing boys and girls to computer science with 'Alice'

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University computer scientist Susan Rodger is hoping ice skaters, cute animals and fearsome dragons will bring new talent to her field.

U-M researcher and colleagues predict large 2009 Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone'

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---University of Michigan aquatic ecologist Donald Scavia and his colleagues say this year's Gulf of Mexico "dead zone" could be one of the largest on record, continuing a decades-long trend that threatens the health of a half-billion-dollar fishery.

Anime's fan girls

Girls are gathering online to remake male-oriented Japanese animation videos into romances -- and in the process are picking up skills in film editing, storytelling and feminist literary criticism.

The dark side of PowerPoint animation: People recall less

We've all sat through one of those presentations where the animated slides are more interesting than the speaker. Bold and brassy titles slide into view, tasty slices of pie chart fill the screen one by one, and a hail of arrows spikes the points the lecturer hopes to highlight.

Gas explosions: A new way to study phantom traffic jams

Edmonton -- A University of Alberta researcher has devised a new theoretical approach to studying phantom traffic jams. Normally a traffic tie-up happens when vehicles reach a bottleneck and traffic flow is reduced, or in the case of an accident, halted completely.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Unfolds by Animation

Although engineers, scientists and manufacturers are still in the process of building all of the instruments that will fly aboard NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, they had to figure out long ago, how it was going to "unfold" in space. That's because the Webb Telescope is so big that it has to be folded up for launch. Now, animators have made that "unfolding" come to life in two new videos.

How an Antarctic worm makes antifreeze and what that has to do with climate change

Two BYU researchers who just returned from Antarctica are reporting a hardy worm that withstands its cold climate by cranking out antifreeze.

New way to make realistic shadows in computer images

Scientists and computer gamers alike could benefit from a new method for creating soft, realistic shadows in computer-generated images. Engineers at Ohio State University have created computer algorithms that model how light passes through translucent three-dimensional objects or fluids such as water, clouds, fire, and smoke. The result: shadows that begin to approach the realism of Hollywood animation, but don't require as much computer memory to create.
