Satellite images reveal 17 lost Egyptian Pyramids!!!

An archaeologist at the University of Alabama in Birmingham says she's discovered 17 lost pyramids in Egypt - without even leaving her desk.Egyptologist Sarah Parcak used infra-red satellite imaging to find the pyramids, along with more than 1,000 tombs and 3,100 ancient settlements.Her team used images from a combination of NASA and commercial satellites orbiting 400 miles above the Earth. The infrared images differentiated between different materials beneath the surface, showing the outline of...

Moon has much more water than it was previously thought

According to TG Daily,The moon appears to be far richer in water than previously believed, following the discovery of 'melt inclusions' in rocks brought back from the Apollo mission in 1972.Analysis of the tiny globules of molten rock, which have turned to a glass-like material trapped within crystals, indicates that the water content of lunar magma is 100 times higher than thought.Unlike most volcanic deposits, the inclusions are encased in crystals that prevent the escape of water during eruption.Water...

MIT persuades algae to make hydrogen fuel!!!

Scientists at MIT, Tel Aviv University and the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory say they've found a way to use algae to make four times as much fuel as before.Many types of algae and cyanobacteria can use sunlight to plit water and create hydrogen; but they're reluctant to do so, preferring instead to produce sugar for their own needs. However, the MIT team says it's found a way to use bioengineered proteins to flip this preference, allowing more hydrogen to be produced.A multitasking enzyme,...

NASA to collect samples from near-Earth Asteroid!!!

According to sources,NASA's announced that it's to launch an unmanned ship to an asteroid in 2016, gathering samples that could help to explain how life began.The mission, called Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer - or, rather more manageably, Osiris-Rex - waspicked from a shortlist that also included a trip to the far side of the moon and a mission to Venus.The capsule's design will be similar to that used by NASA's Stardust spacecraft, which...

Black holes spinning faster and faster!!! Can be Dangerous??

Many giant black holes in the centre of galaxies are spinning faster than at any time in the history of the universe, and may have been set in motion comparatively recently, new research shows.Dr Alejo Martinez-Sansigre of the University of Portsmouth and Professor Steve Rawlings of the University of Oxford used radio, optical and X-ray data to test their theoretical models of spinning black holes, and found the models stood up well for supermassive black holes with twin jets.Using the radio observations,...

Scientists set record in data transmission Speed !!!

According to TG Daily ,Scientists have successfully transmitted data at a rate of 26 terabits per second on a single laser beam - the equivalent of 700 DVDs in one second.The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) team sent the data over a distance of 50 km, and decoded it successfully using a new opto-electric decoding method. As no electronic processing methods are available for a data rate of 26 terabits per second, the team uses purely optical calculation in order to break down the high data...

Spongy carbon an energy storage breakthrough!!!

According to TG Daily Scientific efforts to create new high performance, efficient energy storage technologiesmay be taking a pretty big leap forward according to researchers at The University of Texas.

The research team, led by Professor Rodney S. Ruoff, has created a new porous, three-dimensional carbon they say can be used like a "greatly enhanced supercapacitor."In a statement, the team likens a supercapacitor to a sprinter. It can discharge a bunch of energy very quickly, but...

World famous Physicist Stephen Hawking rejects idea of afterlife!!!

Physicist Stephen Hawking has described the idea of heaven as a 'fairy story'.Stephen HawkingsIn an interviewwith the UK'sGuardian newspaper, he says he regards the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail."There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark," he says.Hawking set out his thoughts on the subject in 2010  in his book The Grand Design, in which he argued that there was no...

'Dislike Button' scam sweeps Facebook!!

It's probably something we've all wished for at one time or another. It's all very well being allowed to express our approval of a Facebook post, but sometimes you just want to be, well, a bit more negative.So it's easy to see why a new 'Enable Dislike Button' feature might be appealing. Unfortunately, though, it's just another scam, which has been sweeping the internet over the last two days.Users are presented with a message offering to turn on the new feature - and jolly realistic it looks too....

Team finds simple way to split hydrogen from water

According to TG Daily it seems possible to generate energy from water by splliting hydrogen from water.Splitting water to create renewable energy could be simpler than previously thought, says an international team led by Australia's Monash University.Using sunlight to create a cheap, efficient way to split water would open up production of hydrogen as a clean fuel. And professor Leone Spiccia says the key to the hydrogen economy could come from a very simple mineral, commonly seen as a black stain...

Photographs in White House when Laden was killed!!!

Sometime after midnight last night I Tweeted this: "Can't wait to see White House photographer Pete Souza's behind-the-scenes photos of the past few days' events." Souza has delivered. For the past several years, the White House chief photographer has been chronicling every moment of the Obama Administration. He has unprecedented access to the President and his staff and gets himself into meetings and rooms you'd think he wouldn't ever be allowed. Case in point: Souza was in the Situation...
