Creating Diamonds from Tequila

By Jaya Jiwatram Posted on 11.11.2008 9 Comments
Tequila may be just another drink to those out in the town, but to a team of scientists in Mexico their country's native alcohol turned out to be a gem; a diamond, to be precise. Javier Morales, Luis Apátiga and Victor Castaño at the National Autonomous University of Mexico made the alchemist-worthy discovery while experimenting turning various organic solutions, such as acetone and ethanol, into diamonds. The scientists noted that 80-proof tequila (40 percent alcohol) had the ideal proportion of ethanol to water to create diamond films.

I wish someone wold beat the Archon XPRIZE already, mapping someones mitochondrial dna could only prove that his sisters didn't have a strictly matriarchal line of decedents. Both y lines and mitochondrial lines can be stomped out and still have decedents a plenty. http://www.izledizi.de/

Five Human Achievements That Could Top Walking on the Moon

By Stuart Fox Posted on 7.20.2009 62 Comments
Possibly the single most influential event in the public's interest in science and technology (not to mention one of humankind’s greatest adventures), the Apollo 11 mission touched the collective dreams of millions, while pushing science and technology swiftly forward at an unprecedented pace. But in the decades since man first walked on the moon, science has advanced so rapidly that technology which even a few years ago might have been considered magic has become commonplace. Even so, it would be naïve to assume that Apollo 11 ever represented science and technology’s pinnacle, and that nothing forthcoming will similarly explode the world’s collective dreams and perceptions of what it means to be human. So what’s next? What will be the next worldwide event or discovery that fundamentally changes the way we look at ourselves and the universe we live in?

First African, Asian, and Woman Get Full Genome Map

By Laura Allen Posted on 11.10.2008 5 Comments
Geneticists announced last week in the journal Nature that they have sequenced the complete set of DNA for three people—a Nigerian man, a Chinese man, and a Caucasian woman with leukemia—bringing the total number of individual genomes sequenced and published to five. (The first two are those of the genetics pioneers J. Craig Venter and James Watson.)

And which would you rather carry with you -- a live, rabid fox, or a little projector? Both are options. Plus, hating holograms, and more; just follow the links.

Masters of Disguise

Animals use camouflage to hide from and confuse predators and prey. For some such animals, their natural appearance mimics, matches, and fades into their surroundings. Others actively shift shape, texture or color to blend in. This amazing ability to hide in plain sight has evolved in parallel across thousands of species, and each animal’s cloaking technique is unique.

why? when there are so many other choices.......still land will be destroyed to get the coal , people die mining it, water is polluted from mining......land is taken from people to get at it..... http://www.izledizi.de

In today's links, scientists tell jokes; hoaxers trick scientists; and more. Pictured, prominent scientists examine the skull of Piltdown Man.

The Kanzius RF Field Generator Cost to Develop: $1 million+Time: 5 yearsPrototype | | | | | Product When a man with no medical degree and a diagnosis of fatal leukemia builds a cancer-curing machine in his garage, you might think it merely the desperate attempt of a dying man to escape his fate. And youd be right. The weird thing is, it just might work.
