Diamond Planet discovered !!

Suppose if you are sent to a planet that is entirely made up of diamond, then what will be your feelings.

Its almost shocking for the diamond lovers that a team of researchers from UK, US, Australia, Germany and Italy with the help of Professor Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University of Technology using many telescopes in Australia, US and UK had discovered this planet in the Sepens group in our Milky Way galaxy.

But only one tiny problem is there, this planet is about 4000 light years away from us. So even if we travel with the speed of light it will take 4000 years to reach.

It has a diameter of 60 Kilometers about five times of our earth and one of the amazing thing is that it was discovered by a strange manner that a nearby pulsar was sending its signals. Pulsars are very small stars with only 15 miles diameter that send strong radio waves.

These radio waves regularly sweep our planet as the pulsar spins, as the radio waves was changing regularly, it led the team of astronomers to think that there is a nearby planet responsible for the change in its modulation, after estimation and examination of its density showed that it is much larger than expected, largely because it is made of crystalline substance means…Diamonds.

Cure of Heroin by Vaccination !!

Excess of everything is bad, even if u take a simple black tea in excess it cause loss in sleep and other mental disorders, same is the case with heroin.

Scientists in California of “Scripps Research Institute” had developed a vaccine that helps to prevent the advent of “High” after taking heroin.

It can reduce the high effect of heroin that causes the brain to go into unconsciousness; this vaccine will be useful and effective for those who want to break away from addiction to heroin.

This vaccine produces such antibodies that prevent heroin or it metabolites from reaching it to the brain.

Now the scientists are collaborating with the researchers at “Walter Reed Army Institute of development” for the dual-purpose vaccine that will be effective against HIV and heroin also within a single dose.

Now the time is near when most of the diseases will be cured with a single dose and no any disease will be left that there will be no vaccine for it.

World’s cheapest Houses to be built by India !!

As the increase in the population of India and the shelter demand for the poor peoples, Tata comes in the field to fulfill the demand of today by making cheapest houses for his country, same as Tata Nano made world cheapest car few years later for just $2500 now Tata had set a goal to achieve a new milestone by building world’s cheapest houses for just $715 (32000Rs).

Each house will be built within a week under a scheme of “Indira Awaas Yojana Shelter Rehabilitation”; it will consist of 20 square meter area.

Due to the increase in the rate of population, there come the difficulty, How to provide safe and clean hygienic shelter? That must be in the purchasing power of poor peoples of India and for the 800 million peoples who lives below poverty line.

As India had reached 1.2 billion in population and it will cross over China by 2030. Therefore the houses are marketed at Rs40000 and it will began a new era for poor slums peoples living unhygienic-ally in the major cities of India in the close and muddy streets.

And one of the best things is that, most of the people who live in rented houses will switch over to these due to affordability and convenience.

It is the most positive way of poise earning, that there is someone who also thinks for these poor and the own house they want same as us.

Thanks to God and Tata.

Chicken Feathers now used in making Plastics !!

Nature hasn’t made anything useless even a small little bee can produce honey. Till now the chicken feathers were considered useless and they were only used in making some low quality chicken feeds or mostly thrown away as garbage.

Almost billion tons of chicken feathers are produced each year worldwide, these feathers contains keratin a tough protein that is also present in the cow hoofs and other animals horns. If a thermoplastic film is made from keratin then it becomes too strong and tear resistant. Now by the use of Keratin Dr Yiqi Yang and his colleagues in USA “University of Nebraska Lincoln have found that, they can make tough plastic by the help of chicken feathers.

At the start the plastic made from it lacks in water resistance, but after the further hard work of Yang and his fellows they added another synthetic plastic making chemical to overcame it, they added methyl acrylate. Then the outcome was tremendous and the product was both tough and water resistant. This effort will increase the utilization of chicken feathers in making of different plastic products.

Now there is a lesson, that God had nothing made useless.

Grain Salt Tiny Cameras !!

Cameras are not only used in saving memorable pictures but they are also used to diagnose various hidden diseases. Therefore the scientists of Germany of “Fraunhofer Institute” had developed an extremely tiny video camera that is not bigger than a grain of a salt. This tiny camera will be used to go through into various internal organs. One of the main good news about it is, that it is inexpensive and when it will be used than it may be replaced or thrown away with a new one. Most of the "Endoscopes" uses optic fibers but these cameras use normal electric cables. This new technology will be launched in the market in the next year for the use and cure of mankind. And think for a while, what will be tinier then a grain of a salt?

Cellulose Bacteria now used in Biofuels !!

Now most of the countries are searching for the alternative way of fuel due to the rise in prices and its effect on the economy. Now as the evolution of science and to use the alternative natural resources, scientists are now moving toward certain types of bacteria that contain cellulose, as cellulose is the most common natural compound on our planet. Cotton contains 90%, wood 50% of cellulose and even all plants consists of 33% of cellulose as it is also the main component of the cell wall of the plants. Cellulose consists of hundred and thousands of chains that are linked together in glucose units. Previously lots efforts are done to convert this cellulose into biofuels like ethanol but not succeeded, may be the main reason of it is, the difficulty in breaking of its components in starch than sugar because of the linking of cellulose units with each other. But now the good news is that the scientists at Bio-energy Science Center in US had successfully converted cellulose directly into “Isobutanol” by using genetically sequenced strain of cellulose, it is more advantageous biofuel because it can directly be used in car engines as it also contains the same amount of heat as of petrol. Just wait for the few more successful developments then it will be commercially available for use and you will be using biofuel in your cars in the coming future that will be produced from grass.

Helicopter as Cheap as a Car !!

If you are fed up with the day-to-day traffic jams, and wants to travel to your desire destination by your own helicopter, then you can buy a small personal helicopter for the price of a car.

Its kit costs about 3000 Dollars but you can build it from experts for another 4000 Dollars.

Mosquito XE is an ultra light helicopter, and if a customer wants a full established and equipped version then it may cost 20000 Dollars may be less then 20K$.

One of its best quality, that it can travel about 90 Kilometers with having fuel of only 5 gallons as it capacity says.

So enjoy fast and cheap luxury traveling at the age of even high standard of living.
