More Fun Science!
Well, today seems to be one of those days where the all the sites I went to doubled the number of daily articles! But after the usual couple of hours sorting through the news and updates, I think this few articles are worth sharing:
Is coloured bubbles a dream or reality?
Now it is!
Read on PopSci how this 2 men spent 11 years and half a million dollars coming up with the world’s first coloured bubbles! And yes, vivid, evenly coloured bubbles that vanishes after the dye gets on your clothes! Brilliant!
And here, its not the whole thing unless you have Discovery Channel but if you have zero knowledge of liposuction (like me, who knows that it involves sucking out fat) the featured video of the day should interest you.
The verdict is in. Sugar does relieve stress! What a sweet solution. =) SciAm has the story here. But its only proven for mice, not humans so you’d better be careful before risking the gain of a few pounds of fat to unwind!
On a more political and IT related news, the US keeps its hold over the root servers. That’s good, since we don’t need to worry about what website we’re going to see the next time we decide to go to lets say www.xxxxx.com. =)
About healthcare, H5N1 rears its head in China again with the first confirmed death. With more mutations discovered in Vietnam, Stage 4 seems a setp closer now.
And now, moving on to the animal kingdom. If you think that lizards are completely harmless, think again. They have venom! But thankfully, its nothing that can kill. NewScientist has the scoop here
