Black-Body Radiation Force, Tractor Beams Here We Come!!

Black-body radiation can give rise to a net attractive force between tiny objects.

That is the claim made by physicists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, who have calculated the strength of this new force between a speck of dust and a hydrogen atom. The team believes that in some situations the force could be more significant than gravity.

3D Printing technology of Historical Artifacts Online!!

Yep, you heard it right, a work colleague pointed me in this direction today so I just had to investigate further.

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C have now introduced "Smithsonian X 3D", a web portal that allows online visitors to create 3D renderings of some of its historical artifacts.

As I'm sure you will agree this technology has the potential to open some very interesting doorways to the unknown.

The Best Story of the Egyptian Pyramids you will EVER see!!!

There has been so many stories about how the Great Pyramids were built, along with a number of bizarre theory's, but this program rivals them all.

I came across this show a few months ago, and after watching it my head was spinning!!

I told a few of my work colleagues about it and they were sceptical to say the least, but after watching it they too were in a state of amazement.

This show not only covers the basic elements of the building of these great wonders but goes into details that are not widely know such as the "Golden Number".

Trust me when I say this is one of the best documentaries ever produced on the Pyramids and delves globally into how impossible their design actually was.

One in Five Stars Has Earth Sized Planet in Habitable Zone!

 
Kepler for those who don't know is a space observatory launched by NASA to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. The spacecraft, named after the Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, and was launched on March 7, 2009.
 

Designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way to discover dozens of Earth-size extrasolar planets in or near the habitable zone and estimate how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets.
 
Data recently collected from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft along with the W. M. Keck Observatory shows that statistically twenty percent of Sun-like stars in our galaxy have Earth-sized planets that could host life.
