Posted on September 4, 2009 by shiv1The Different Laboratory and Industrial Uses of Deionized Water
Posted on August 31, 2009 by joalestoNearly a couple of decades ago, the need for highly-purified water was only constrained to a small number of commercial and industrial applications. There are two usual forms of purified water being used, the distilled and deionized water (Dl). This high-purity water product is at present considered a very important ingredient in a lot of pharmaceutical, medical, laboratory, food processing, manufacturing and a huge variety of industrial processes, and for cleaning the automobile at the local ...
Forensic Science: An Outline
Posted on August 26, 2009 by Trevor FinchForensic science deals with the process of recognizing, identifying and interpreting physical evidence. All over, this extremely important multi-disciplinary science involves physics, chemistry and biology. Just as significantly, it is a highly critical aspect in the implementation of civil law and criminal administration. The subject of many hit television shows like'Criminal Minds,''Law & Order' as well as'CSI,' forensic science simply catches the eye of many folks beca...
Nano lasers offer hope for scalable optical processing
Posted on August 22, 2009 by Shane EResearchers show that lasers that are just 1/10th the size of the wavelength of light are possible, putting in place another piece of the circuitry required for scalable on-chip optical processing. One of the ever-present trends in electronics is that stuff gets smaller. Although it doesn't get much attention, the fact that electronic features can be scaled continuously in size down to something very close to the single atom level is an important reason why electronic devices are still king.
How Lasers Work in Dermatology
Posted on November 26, 2009 by Shane EDifferent types of lasers, depending upon the medium they contain, emit specific wavelengths of laser light. These may either be in the visible spectrum of light, 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red) or in the infrared spectrum, above 700 nm.
Laser Propulsion: Wild Idea May Finally Shine
Posted on August 22, 2009 by Shane ENew laser propulsion experiments are throwing light on how to build future hypersonic aircraft and beam spacecraft into Earth orbit. Indeed, a "Lightcraft revolution" could replace today's commercial jet travel. Passengers would be whisked from one side of the planet to the other in less than an hour - just enough time to get those impenetrable bags of peanuts open. Furthermore, beamed energy propulsion can make flight to orbit easy, instead of tenuous and dangerous.
Laser Technology Creates New Forms of Combat Armour
Posted on August 22, 2009 by Shane EAFOSR-funded researchers at the University of Rochester are using laser light technology that will help the military create new forms of metal that may guide, attract and repel liquids and cool small electronic devices.
How Green is Green Enough
Posted on August 19, 2009 by Dustin SchwermanFor the apartment, building, or business owner, going green is becoming an increasingly attractive option. In addition to the environmental benefits, there's a lot to be said for the savings on energy costs and other resources.
Animal Testing - Support Brands Not Tested on Animals
Posted on August 14, 2009 by Gen WrightThis article encourages people to think about the world and their relationship with other animals. It urges compassion for the nonhuman world and offers guidance on how we can help laboratory animals by being conscious consumers.
Stem Cells - How They Can Affect Your Life
Posted on August 14, 2009 by Gregg CampI did a short piece on adult stem cell research and how it helped with a windpipe transplant. After some thought, it occurred to me that most people do not understand how stem cells work in the body and what part they can play in future medicine, especially for senior citizens and those with disabilities. I thought I would do a little more in-depth writing. It is going to take a couple of posts to get through it, but here goes

Classification and the basic features of peptides
Posted on May 7, 2008 by Mathew PetrenkoPeptide bond is a phenomenon that means connecting and adhering amino acids by usage of polymers that are named peptides. Polypeptide molecule is a result of connecting of many peptides. All the peptides discoveries are carried out to define characteristics of amino acid that is in connection with peptides and its amount. Probably it is logical to call the results of peptide synthesis from amino acid as proteins but they are usually named peptides.
Precautions When Raising Chickens During Summer and Winter
Posted on June 12, 2009 by Cristian StanChickens seem so fragile. They seem without any survival characteristics. But that is not true 100%. They have some characteristics that allow them to pull it through and survive in harsh weather conditions. Of course, those traits depend on the chicken species.
The laser men who shaped the modern world
Posted on June 29, 2009 by Shane EThe laser was a scientific breakthrough in the 20th century that has shaped the modern world, and two Russian scientists were behind the important discovery, winning the Nobel Prize for their work. Everything from DVD players in our computers to barcode scanners that speed up the whole business of shopping for our everyday groceries, complex security systems that enable our fingerprints to be our passwords for identification and even surgical equipment to keep your pearly whites looking pearl...

Suspected Use of the ZM-87 Russian Portable Laser Used Against US troops
Posted on October 15, 2009 by Shane EThe Strait of Juan de Fuca laser incident occurred on 4 April 1997, when the Russian merchant ship Kapitan Man was anchored in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, approximately 5 miles due north of Port Angeles, Washington. Responding to a request based on previous suspicious activity of the ship, the Canadian armed forces dispatched a CH-124 helicopter to fly by the ship and take photographs of the abnormal aerial antenna structure of the vessel.

Cholesterol is produced mostly by the liver but every cell in the body can actually make cholestero
Lasers and Modern Warfare
Posted on June 29, 2009 by Shane EModern warfare is very different from that of, say, the First and Second World Wars. Weaponry has advanced and one major difference is the distance at which soldiers can engage the enemy. Wars are no longer fought at point-blank range and the ability to fire on targets from greater distances gives massive advantages, especially if the enemy cannot match those distances. Guided missiles, early versions of which date back to World War II, now have a range of thousands of kilometres and can therefo
