Bending Gravity, Researchers Capture Star-Birthing Re...
By Escape The Illusion on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
Using a little astrophysical magic and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment Telescope in northern Chile, astronomers at Durham University in England captured the best view yet of individual star nurseries in a galaxy a full 10 billion light-years from Earth. And all they had to do was bend a little lig... -

Using the latest in aberration-corrected electron microscopy, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their colleagues have obtained the first images that distinguish individual light atoms such as boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. For the full article ~CL... -
Scientists look to tobacco as a potential biofuel
By Escape The Illusion on March 27, 2010 | 1 Comment
Some researchers say an age-old cash crop long the focus of public health debate could be used to help solve the nation’s energy crisis, by genetically modifying the tobacco leaf for use as a bio fuel. The golden leaf is the latest in a series of possible bio fuels like switchgrass and algae t... -
Humans Could Regenerate Tissue Like Newts By Switchin...
By Escape The Illusion on March 20, 2010 | 1 Comment
Scientists have long been stymied by human regenerative healing — that is, wholesale regrowth of, say, a severed limb — an ability inherent in some species but lost on humans. But new research suggests the ability to regenerate isn’t based on something newts and flatworms have that... -
Frogs, Foam and Fuel: Solar Energy Converted to Sugar...
By Escape The Illusion on March 19, 2010 | No Comments
For decades, farmers have been trying to find ways to get more energy out of the sun. In natural photosynthesis, plants take in solar energy and carbon dioxide and then convert it to oxygen and sugars. The oxygen is released to the air and the sugars are dispersed throughout the plant — like t... -
To catch a thief, follow his filthy hands
By Escape The Illusion on March 17, 2010 | No Comments
Unique bacterial profiles give criminals another reason to wear gloves. Bacteria may one day help crime scene investigators catch criminals dirty-handed. Having found previously that everyone’s hands carry a unique bacterial population, researchers at the University of Colorado in Boulder have now... -
Formula for Making Teeth Will Soon Be Found, Research...
By Escape The Illusion on March 15, 2010 | No Comments
Each cusp of our teeth is regulated by genes which carefully control the development. A similar genetic puzzle also regulates the differentiation of our other organs and of all living organisms. A team of researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki has developed a com... -

In the search for a high efficiency algae biofuel, a team of researchers lead by Texas A&M University has been delving into the inner workings of the Botryococcus braunii green algae, and they have discovered a direct connection between the algae and deposits of petroleum and coal. The discov... -
Trapping Sunlight With Silicon Nanowires
By Escape The Illusion on March 7, 2010 | No Comments
Solar cells made from silicon are projected to be a prominent factor in future renewable green energy equations, but so far the promise has far exceeded the reality. While there are now silicon photovoltaics that can convert sunlight into electricity at impressive 20 percent efficiencies, the cost o... -
