Scientists get hands on oldest blood of a human.

• Scientists have discovered the world's oldest blood cells in the remains of a 5,300-year-old iceman found in Italy.
• The scientists found traces of blood around an arrow wound that killed the man in the mountains of what is now the Alto-Adige region of northern Italy.
• "Otzi the iceman" was discovered in 1991 at 3,200 metres in a glacier by hikers in the German-speaking region near the border with Austria.
• After using a microscope to identify what appeared to be red blood cells, they confirmed the discovery by using an atomic force microscope which identifies molecules with a laser beam.

Biggest, brightest Moon on May 6.

• "Moon will appear 14 per cent brighter than the average full moon and also the year's biggest," said C.B. Devgun, of Science Popularisation Association of Communicators and Educators (SPACE).
• He said the biggest and brightest moon is definitely not to be associated with natural disasters in any way.
• "All that will happen is the moon will appear brighter and exert more influence on the tides due to its increased gravitational force. There is nothing to worry about this activity," he added.

By 2013, China may be the World Leader in Science overtaking US.

According to the new study by the Royal Society, the UK's national science academy, China is well on the course of becoming World leader in science as their ancestors were.

The country that invented the compass, gunpowder, paper and printing is set for a globally important comeback and may gain its position as soon as 2013.

The figures are based on the papers published in recognised international journals listed by the Scopus service of the publishers Elsevier.

In 1996, the first year of the analysis, the US published 292,513 papers - more than 10 times China's 25,474.

Can Sacred Vedic chants can make rain fall?, scientists to find out soon.

A group of scientists led by V.P.M. Nampoori, former director of the International School of Photonics, Cochin University (CUSAT), will conduct research into the impact of Vedic chants and the fire ritual on the atmosphere and its surroundings.

Soon they will be establish their base at the ancient village of Panjal in Kerala to study the 3,100-year-old Vedic ritual called Athirathram in April.

Scientist records data in bacteria.

A group of students from Hong Kong's Chinese University are making progress in Biostorage arena which could change our perception of storing data. These students are making research on E.coli bacterium(potential source of serious food poisoning) in which they intend to store such vast amounts of information.

Biostorage, the art of storing and encrypting information in living organisms, a new field which emerged about a decade ago.

In 2007, a team at Japan's Keio University said they had successfully encoded the equation that represents Einstein's theory of relativity, E=MC2, in the DNA of a common soil bacterium.

Women tears send signals to men's brain to back off : Study

Study conducted by Researchers from Israel show how powerful one's women tears is. They say, Crying may be nature's way of telling men to give women some space.

Research by Israeli scientists, of Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science examined the significance of emotional human tears suggests they are far more than watery drops squeezed from glands around the eyes.

They found that Women's tears play a functional role by emitting chemical signals that reduce testosterone levels and sexual arousal in men, the study found.

"The fact that emotional tears are different in content was a strong clue for us that they served as a chemo-signal," said Sobel, a professor of neurobiology at the institute. "For sure, it's a means of chemical communication. We communicate in many ways."

Ratan Tata invests $15 million in a research facility, aimed to power car by simple water.

Recently, in a press conference convened by the Chemical Research Society of India, revealed the dream of Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata.

Ratan Tata's dream is to see cars fueled by only water, simply water which may be toilet water, sea water or drinking water. In order to make it happen soon, he has invested USD 15 million in a start-up firm supporting research in the field, carried out by an eminent scientist from Massechusetts Institute of Technology in the US.

Global Warming is behind the European Winter chill : Scientists

Feeling much chilled this winter than the previous one ??? Then blame the GW(Global Warming).

Counter-intuitive but true, say scientists: a string of freezing European winters scattered over the last decade has been driven in large part by global warming.

According to a new study, the Arctic's surface ice, if the current rates of decline continues, will disappear entirely during summer months by century's end.

With the help of genetic engineering, Japanese creates Singing mouse.

A team Japanese scientists from University of Osaka, said that they had produced a mouse that tweets like a bird in a genetically engineered 'evolution' which they hope will shed light on the origins of human language.

Named as 'Evolved Mouse Project', in which they use genetically modified mice that are prone to miscopying DNA and thus to mutations.

US geophysicist measures the magnetic strength of the earth for the first time.

Geophysicist from University of California, Berkeley, has made the first-ever measurement of the magnetic strength of the inside Earth's core, 1,800 miles underground.

They found out the the magnetic field strength is 25 Gauss(50x stronger than the magnetic field at the surface that makes compass needles align north-south).

Gadget(machine) governed by quantum mechanics law is designed by the US physicists for the first time.

Generally the machines we are using now works by the law related to classical mechanics but the scientists from the University of California at Santa Barbara had designed a gadget which can only be described by quantum mechanics, rules that governs the behavior of tiny things like molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.

Physicists Andrew Cleland and John Martinis and their colleagues designed a machine, a tiny metal paddle of semiconductor, visible to the naked eye behaves according to quantum mechanics laws.

Using lasers, scientist measures the viscosity(stickiness) of a gas(sixth state of matter)

Scientist have found out a new way to measure the viscosity i.e., stickiness in general term with the help of ultra-cold Fermi gas of lithium-6 atoms in this case, embedded to laser light.

This experiment can be considered as a big breakthrough in science because, the measurements verify that it can be used as scale model of exotic matter like super-high temperature superconductors, the nuclear matter of neutron stars, and even the state of matter created microseconds after the Big Bang.
