Crucial Stages of Cancer Uncovered
6 Mar 2010By Maria Gonzalez.- Cancer is a sort of disease which can be described by the uncontrolled growth of a group of unusual cells within the body. This uncontrolled growth of cells can then cause death if left untreated. Thus, you have to make sure to immediately treat your cancer if ever you have acquired such [...]
Change: The Problem with Evolution and Global Warming
In: Evolution| Global Warming| Science
4 Mar 2010In 1996, I was almost finishing high school and we were still concerned about the Ozone hole. Global Warming “did not exist” back then. We were in Biology class discussing cancer. I remember saying that I knew it was an uncontrolled growth of a group of cells product of a maladaptive mutation. Our teacher questioned why [...]
According to Richard Gross, a geophysicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the earthquake that killed more than 700 people in Chile may have also shifted Earth’s axis by bout 8 centimeters (3 inches). This happened due to the redistribution of mass on the planet (lots of rocks were moved around during the quake). Earth’s inclination [...]
Mother’s Sensitivity May Help Language Development in Children With Autism
In: Psychology| autism| discoveries
26 Feb 2010A study from the University of Miami suggests that maternal sensitivity, understood as a combo of affection, responsiveness to the child’s needs, structuring support and education, and the ability to manage presence-absence to foster independency; may influence the development and acquisition of language among children with autism or potentially at risk.
Even though parenting does not [...]

Miracle spray may revolutionize the way we clean and preserve stuff thanks to nanotechnology
In: Science
3 Feb 2010“SiO2- ultra thin layering” (that’s the technical name) comes in the form of a liquid glass which can coat surfaces with a 15 to 30 molecules thick (500 times thinner than human hair) film. It is eco-friendly, non-toxic and it protects almost any surface from dirt, bacteria, UV radiation, heat and acids.
The liquid is almost [...]

After fixing some glitches the biggest particle accelerator in the world is online
In: Science
27 Nov 2009The biggest particle accelerator in the world is back online after a couple of glitches kept it unoperational for more than a year (some months ago a bird dropped a piece of bread on a section of it causing the 27km machine to shut down. Unbelievable, right?).
