There’s a mysterious object doing a crazy loop around our solar system — and scientists have no idea what it is
Posted by Sean Brazell in category: space
Scientists have nicknamed it “Niku,” which means rebellious in Chinese. And the object’s reckless behavior has scientists scratching their heads.

Quantum dots with impermeable shell used as a powerful tool for “nano-engineering”
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology, quantum physics, wearables
I never get tired of talking about the many uses for Q-dot technology. One area that has me even more intrigued is how it is used in crystallized formations. I expect to see more and more experimenting on crystalized formations on many fronts including complex circuitry for performance and storage.
And, with synthetic technology today plus 3D printing along with Q-dots we could (as I have eluded to many times over several months) truly begin to see some amazing technology be developed on the wearable tech front.
Wearables could include synthetic circuitry stones in various accessories to not only store information, but also serve as another form of unique id because in synthetic stones we have been able (like in nature) create complex crystalized formations that are each unique/ 1 of a kind like a unique finger print, or iris of an eye. I expect to see some very interesting things coming in this space.

““If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you haven’t understood quantum mechanics.” That jibe, supposedly made by physicist Richard Feynman half a century ago, still rings true today.”

The laws of nature make life on other planets inevitable — according to this groundbreaking theory
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: alien life, biological, chemistry, physics
According to theoretical physicist and super-genius Stephen Hawking, “The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet orbiting round a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies.” Indeed, to most modern scientists we are nothing more than an entirely random ‘happy accident’ that likely would not occur if we were to rewind the tape of the universe and play it again. But what if that is completely wrong? What if life is not simply a statistical anomaly, but instead an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics and chemistry?
A new theory of the origin of life, based firmly on well-defined physics principles, provides hefty support for the notion that biological life is a “cosmic imperative”. In other words, organic life had to eventually emerge. If such a theory were true, it would mean that it is very likely that life is widespread throughout the universe.

Science Explained: The Possibility of Life on Mars
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: science, space
Where there is water, there is life. This is a statement that has been reaffirmed over and over again. Whether it is in the acidic waters surrounding volcanoes or in the dark and frozen wastes of the icy Antarctic, wherever we find liquid water, we find life. That’s what makes one of the most recent finds by NASA’s Curiosity rover so amazing—Evidence of liquid water on Mars. And even more recently (this month, in fact), NASA announced that it had confirmed evidence of water flowing on Mars.
Granted, this “flowing water” is really more of a trickle (damp soil, if you will), but the find is still exciting for a number of reasons.
