2014 Was Indeed The Warmest Year In 4000 Years!
So, now we all should feel proud? We are part of history! Or do you think its time to take it more seriously? Work on decreasing carbon emission, better use of energy, work on alternatives, save the forest, plant more tree? Otherwise if we keep making this type of record soon there will be no one left to celebrate!
Study Shows Graphene Is Better In Terms Of Resisting A Speeding Bullet Than Any Other Material
Although Graphene is the wonder material of future generation’s computers, it is no longer the world’s strongest material. But researchers have revealed that artificial Graphene performs better than real Graphene.
Computers Ranking The World’s Important Authors
If you are asked to rank the world’s important authors, would that be easy for you? I guess, No. And even if you try, I assume you would be in ambivalence. So why not handle this by computers? Allen Riddell, a researcher from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, has made an algorithm through which, computers can rank the world’s important authors.

During conversion/transformation, some energy gets wasted. But a team from MIT has created an electrochemical cell that can convert waste heat into electricity.
Modern Technology Makes ‘Mind Control’ Possible By Linking Two Minds
Mind control or telepathy is not a fiction anymore. A group of scientists from University of Washington have proven through a research that information can be sent from one brain to another with the help of a certain setup. They are now focusing on how to utilize this process to benefit the education system.
Scientists Discover Monster Chromosomes Play A Role For Cancer Growth
Every now and then, researcher are trying to devise such a method or technology that can eradicate cancer and its growth. Earlier scientists mentioned that poor sleep accelerate cancer spread. And now, they have found that monster chromosomes are responsible more or less for cancer growth.
