Fastest Car that goes 2487 miles per Gallon !!

More and more advancements are accepted in the field of card world, now the manufacturers are trying to create such a technology that consume less fuel and travel more.

But this type of car is not made any manufacturer or any company, such a prototype car is built by the students at Laval University in Quebec, in this regard Canada won the first prize at the 2010 Shell Eco-Marathon in the month of April by achieving the speed of 2487 mpg.

These cars were built with special lightweight materials with supporting aerodynamic design and having a special type of combustion engine to run the car faster on the road.

Another record of a car was made by a hydrogen powered car manufactured by the Swiss institute ETH that reached 5385 kilometers which is equivalent to one liter of petrol.

It’s not the ends of limits in the field of car and racing, more developments are accepted to be done in the future, let’s hope for the good and fastest future.

Can you Attract the Opposite Sex Chemically !!

Ohh, scientists had left nothing that was necessary to improve the quality living and duration of life and now they are searching, how to chemically improve the sexual desire for the opposite sex.

This is very common practice in animals but now it is also noticed that there are certain chemicals that may enhance sexual desire in humans.

In this regard nature had made some special chemicals (insect hormones) in bees, butterflies and moths and other animals, when they are released they convey a special sexual desiring message to other bees etc.

Butterflies and moths are so sensitive in this style that they even sense these chemical about 10.6km away. Farmers had taken the advantage by keeping that weakness of bees in mind; they trap all the female bees in the trap by putting such chemical and hence preventing them from breeding in the farm.

This was the story of animals, now if I say that there are some chemicals that arouse sexual desire in men and women then it will be absolutely right.

There is a chemical known as Yohimbine an alkaloid that is found in bark of plants of genus Yohimbe, which also in use for many years for gaining power etc.

Such research is done vastly how to improve this sexual desire for opposites, but still this formula is used in perfumed only and more will be in the future.


So think a while, when girls will be attracted through chemicals not only by physical appearance etc.

Windows with self-cleaning Effects !!

God had created his creatures with the level of top qualities, if we take a simple example of lotus plant, the leaves of this plant are able to keep them clean.

This idea leads the scientists to make the glass windows with self cleaning effects from dust, moisture etc.

The scientists from Tel Aviv University accidentally developed a new type of nano-material surface, when they were developing a cure for the Alzheimer disease.

This material consists of the surface which is made of tiny hairs of small proteins molecules that are about one millionth of a millimeter in size which are resistant to water and heat.

These particles work like a coating and repel any of the dust and moisture particles hence keeping the glass clean.

This material is useful in keeping clean the windows of sky scrapers which otherwise require window washing.

One of the other useful and efficient effect of these particles are to keep cleaning the dirt and dust of solar panels which will automatically increase the efficiency up to 32 percent.

Now the time is near when their will be no need of widow washing etc.

Cure for Color Blindness with the help of gene Therapy !!

By studying in depth the structures of genes and their effects on the human body, scientists are now able to fight against color blindness.

Color blindness is more common in the man than women; about one man in 13 and one woman in 230 suffer from some kind of color blindness or some similar kinds of defects.

This defect occurs due to some mutations caused in genes hence that results in inactivation of light absorbing pigments in the retina. And if the red photo pigment is absent then the red and green objects will appear as different shades of grey.

Color blindness is also found in some types of monkeys.
At the Eye Institute in the University of Washington, Jay and Neitz, husband and wife has discovered that is possible to cure this defect with the help of gene therapy.

This experiment was first done on the monkeys and the virus containing the defect free gene was injected into the young color blind monkey, the monkey was first trained for the identification of colors and will awarded by the fresh juices on the correct identification.
At that time before treatment monkeys only identified blue and yellow color spots without identifying red and green, but after gene treatments of five months the monkeys were capable of recognizing the red and green spots as well.

This type of gene therapy will also start on the humans but it will take some period to initialize this step.

Let’s explore Dark matter mysteries of the Universe, with fastest computer of the World !!

Now the time is coming when we will explore each and every part of the universe by the use of latest technology.

IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory had developed the world fastest computer named as “Roadrunner”, which is able to perform 100 trillions operations per seconds.
It is basically designed for the advancement in the US nuclear program, as well as it will also leads to the exploration in the dark energies in the universe.
This machine is huge in size and covers 6,000 square feet of space, its 10,000 connections of optical fiber covering the area of 57km and its memory weights 500,000 pounds that include 80 terabytes space.

Still we had only explored 4.6% mass of the universe that is visible and made of atoms. Other 22% is dark matter whose presence can only be judged with the help of moving galaxies and other 73% is still the secret mystery of the universe called as dark energy.

Roadrunner had used the base particle for the calculation that has the mass of billons suns. Such a huge mass was necessary as galaxies had been molded which has the mass of about trillions suns.

This computer will use particles equal to 64 billions of suns, to explore the dimension of the universe that is highly fascinating and mind fighting.
