It took years of research before the solar oven was eventually introduced to the world. It is low-cost, it is long-lasting and it is highly efficient. The solar oven was designed to stand almost any weather condition and it is also energy efficient.

Prior to William Harvey, many scientists hypothesized that blood didn't move at all, but simply pulsed in response to the heart. These were good predictions, but others taught that arteries and veins were helping the blood flow, and that the blood was being absorbed into the body's system.

After the record setting year we had in 2005 and predictions that the 2006 season could hold more of the same, everyone in the hurricane ravaged areas along the Gulf Coast is on edge.

Telemetry, derived from the Greek words, tele meaning remote, and metron meaning measure, is the technology of automatic measurement and transmission of information by wire, radio, or other means from remote sources, as from space vehicles, to receiving stations where the data may be evaluated.

Although maybe not one of the most "glamorous" of trades, mechanical engineering is definitely one of the most important, and also frequently used, though you may not realize just how frequent and common. Take the chair you?re currently sitting on reading this article - you can bet there?s at least some kind of mechanical engineering process in its design to make it as comfortable as possible.

Explores the new science of epigenetics and how behaviors can change the information from DNA to help you to be healthy.

Antibiotics have long been seen as a panacea - but is it possible to have too much of of a good thing? Some commentators certainly think so. The Soil Association is also worried, saying: "MRSA, the hospital super bug, arose through overuse of penicillin-type drugs in human medicine... it continues to mutate. This is a doomsday scenario and could cause massive loss of life." Read more about it!

PaperSaver was applied by aerosol spray to single to sheets of acid paper. Following uniform, replicate treatments and a brief period to allow the carrier to evaporate, sheets were weighed to determine deacidification solids add-on. Measurements determined that the mass of the deacidification formulation added per page displayed a range of 0.3-0.5% of the total mass of each paper sheet. The results of these tests provide a recommended application rate of 3 pages [single-sided applications] per ounce of PaperSaver formulation.

Pheromones are a way of communicating that many people are not aware of. They are chemicals that are produced by the body that allow communication between two people through the sense of smell.

Since Galileo gifted the world with the telescope, technology has driven it along to becoming very hi-tech and very modern.

A brief look at some of the highlights at this year?s Cheltenham Science Festival.

Is Global Warming real? Indeed some believe Global Warming is a lot of hot air. We all know of the doom and gloom predictions of Global Warming and Climate Change with rising sea levels, super storms and it all sounds like a lot of trouble we will be in?

The key to a child?s successful learning about science, or anything for that matter, is for the parents to do their part to guide, not drive.

The strongest growth category for anodized aluminum appears to be that of transportation. An expected increase in the production of new aircraft to replace aging fleets and the auto industry?s trend of increasing the use of aluminum for vehicle frames and bodies are expected to be the primary drivers of this growth.

Describes how Indian scientists are developing genetically engineered Brassicas using the barnase/barstar gene system.

Are you running on the right fuel? That depends on whether you are a Ferrari or a Mack Truck? Imagine you're the owner of a beautiful, big, brand new Mack Truck, and you pull into the most exclusive petrol station that has the highest quality gasoline from the world's leading refinery. Now this gasoline is as good as it gets, and you're driving the best truck on 18 wheels. The man at the station decides to put the best quality gasoline in that big diesel engine. Oops! That Mack Truck had better have plenty of sleeping area because you?re not going anywhere fast. Now it's not the fuel's or the truck?s fault, it was simply the wrong fuel. This analogy between individuality and appropriate fuel source is the principle behind Metabolic Typing.
