Bacteria Munching Titanic Wreckage : Titanic Under Water Slowly Disappearing
Titanic, the largest passenger ship in the year of 1912, sank on its maiden journey from England to New York 14 April 1912, after hitting an iceberg in mid-Atlantic. It is still under water. Today it has completed the 100th year of the tragedy. The ship, broken into peices, stayed under water for 100 years now. Just a couple of weeks ago, Director James Cameron has visited the wreckage site, and I’m sure some enthusiasts would also love to do. But that might not be possible one day, as a new discovery suggests. Biologist and geologist Henrietta Mann from Canada has discovered that, the way Bacteria under water are continuously eating up the sunken hull of the Titanic, within less than 30 years, there may be nothing left of the Titanic except a heap of ‘rusticles.’

New Computer Generated Imagery Shows Exactly How Titanic Sank In North Atlantic Ocean In 1912
Titanic sank on 15 April in 1912 in North Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg. The main criminal for this tragic incident was an iceberg. However, James Cameron tried to bring the exact incident through his blockbuster movie Titanic. In that movie, the explorer used a computer generated imagery (CGI) to represent the exact sinking scene. But now, James Cameron and his team pull together a new CGI of how they believe the Titanic sank and reached the ocean floor.

Italian Physicist Antonio Ereditato Who Claimed ‘Neutrino Are Faster Than Light’ Resigns
Long ago, Albert Einstein mentioned, ‘Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum, at 180,000 miles per second.’ This theory is called Einstein’s ‘Special Theory of Relativity.’ This theory was approved and established in 1905. With the present technology, scientists have been trying to find something else except light which can travel at the same speed of light or more. However, Italian Physicist Professor Antonio Ereditato found that neutrinos can travel faster than light. This innovation stirred the whole world. Now this scientist has resigned from his post.

Microfluidic Chip Diagnose The Flu Swiftly
In the year of 2009, the H1N1 flu pandemic propagated across more than 200 countries and killed more than 18,000 people. How it extended so many countries and killed massive people within a very short time, that was a question. The reason found, flu diagnosis was often taking too long and resulting in frequent false negatives. Now, after the 4 year study of researchers from Boston University, Harvard, and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, they claim that, they have built a microfluidic chip that rivals in accuracy the gold-standard diagnostic test known as Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). This RT-PCR is faster, cheaper, accurate and disposable.

The door was a transparent glass door. A door hits an 83 year old lady and Apple has to pay $1 Million, other than that, it will be sued? Pretty much interesting.
