solar-powered Juno spacecraft Juno is on its way to Jupiter!!!

The solar-powered Juno spacecraft lifted off aboard an Atlas V rocket this morning and began its five-year journey to the planet Jupiter.

Juno's detailed study of the largest planet in our solar system is expected to help astronomers better understand Jupiter's origin and evolution. 






And as the archetype of giant gas planets, analyzing Jupiter will also help scientists study the origin of our solar system and learn more about planetary systems around other stars.



"We are on our way, and early indications show we are on our planned trajectory," said Jan Chodas, Juno project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Juno remains on track to cover the distance from Earth to the moon (about 250,000 miles or 402,336 kilometers) in less than one day's time. It will take another five years and 1,740 million miles (2,800 million kilometers) to complete the journey to Jupiter. 



The spacecraft will then orbit the planet's poles 33 times, while using its collection of 8 scientific instruments to probe beneath the gas giant's obscuring cloud cover to learn more about its origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere and look for a potential solid planetary core.



With four large moons and many smaller moons, Jupiter actually forms its own miniature solar system. Its composition resembles that of a star, and if it had been about 80 times more massive, the planet could have become a star instead.

"Jupiter is the Rosetta Stone of our solar system," explained Scott Bolton, Juno's principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. 



"It is by far the oldest planet, contains more material than all the other planets, asteroids and comets combined, and carries deep inside it the story of not only the solar system but of us. Juno is going there as our emissary - to interpret what Jupiter has to say."

Robot is not only a machine robot have heart too as it can love!!!!

 Have you watched movie robot made by famous Tamil superstar rajnikant and  acted by Former Miss universe and beautiful actress Aishwarya. If yes you may have seen the robot that fall in love. That was a movie story but can you believe that can happen in real. Nowadays it seems like robots can almost do anything from driving a car to playing soccer, but one thing they can't do is, well, understand love. Well, at least until now.

Robot

Hooman Samani and researchers from the National University of Singapore claim to have developed a robot with the ability to "imitate the human ability to love."

However, the robot doesn't show its love in the typical ways (long walks on the beach, flowers, chocolate, diamond rings, etc.) but rather, it changes color when it falls in love.

How?

Through exposure to the user and touch. The white furball is equipped with microphones and cameras that allow the bot to "recognize its user and hopefully build a long-term relationship."

Similar to a human-to-human relationship, the robot responds and falls in love based on how its partner treats it. For example, if the user is spending too much time with another human and neglecting the robot's love, it might become jealous or bored. The majority of the relationship is based on human touch, something which is important to humans as well.

This little guy is part of Samani's study of "human, robot love," something that he calls "Lovotics."

Remember, there are actually a group of people out there who prefer robot love to human love, like worshippers of the Real Dolls or Roxxxy robot. One man named Zoltan even wed his silicon robot bride "Alice" just last year.

Robot

Seriously, why bother with Match.com or E-Harmony when you can have a little ball of white furry love at your beck and call waiting for you at home with all the love you can imagine?

Oh right, because it's a robot.

Stem cells can be used to grow new teeth!! exciting news!!!!

Scientists from Japan recently published a paper that details how they successfully grew new teeth from the stem cells of mice.

According to MedicalXPress the research paper describing their successful growth and transplantation of the new teeth was published in the open access journal PLoS One.
  
Takashi Tsuji from Tokyo University of Science and his colleagues removed two different stem cells from the molar teeth of mice to build these teeth. They transported these cells to a laboratory where they could grow. To influence how the teeth grew in relation to size and shape, the cells were put inside of a mold to grow. 
  
When the cells developed into full tooth units, the researchers then placed them into the jaws of one-month-old mice. The transplanted choppers attached themselves to the jaw bones and tissues on an average of about 40 days.
  
They also saw that nerve fibers had begun growing in the engineered teeth.
  
Even better, the mice that were given the stem cell teeth had no problems chewing and eating like they normally would.
  
Tsuji hopes that this development will eventually lead to growing human organs from stem cells. Scientists cannot currently make full organs outside of a human body.
  
Tsuji maintains that the right stem cells must be used for building and repairing parts of the human body. Scientists think that in the future we will be able to make stem cell teeth for people. That way we can replace the teeth we lose in bar fights video game accidents.
  
The best part about this whole development is that people who are interested in the regeneration of teeth in mice using stems cells can read the complete research paper online.
  
After all, what good is a scientific development if people can’t read about it because of outdated pay walls?

Drinking Too Much Water Could Be Harmful To Your Health... Says Experts!

Experts warn that drinking the recommended eight glasses of water a day could actually be harmful to a person's health

.

Glasgow-based GP Margaret McCartney says benefits of drinking water are often exaggerated by organisations with a vested interest, such as bottled water brands. Writing in the British Medical Journal she also claims that drinking when not thirsty can impair concentration.

A report claims that the benefits of drinking copious amounts of water are quite simply myths, suggesting there is no evidence behind claims that water prevents multiple health problems.

According to Dr McCartney, consumption of excessive amounts of water can in fact lead to loss of sleep and even cause kidney damage instead of preventing it.

Professor Stanley Goldfarb, a metabolism expert from the University of Pennsylvania also claims there is no evidence to suggest that water suppresses appetite.

'If children drank more water rather than getting extra calories from soda, that's good - but there is no evidence that drinking water before meals reduces appetite,' he says.

Around 2.06 billion litres of water was consumed in Britain last year in comparison to just 1.42billion litres in 2000.
