	Biofuel Vehicles to Put Our Health at Risk
...The latest scientific research reveals that biofuels used in vehicles may be more harmful for human health than the petrol used today. By 2020, 10% of all transport means should run on biofuels as agreed by the EU. The researchers invented a special computer model to determine air quality in 2020. The model showed that ozone level in some regions would grow if bioethanol was used for all cars. It would cause more ail...

	Worms and Humans Are One Family
...ics, it has found that the human brain is in a continuous process of evolution and people in the 21st century are more developed than their ancestors. Two years ago paleontologists made a sensational discovery: they dug out a petrified brain. And here we are today with the molecular biologists saying that we are direct relatives with worms and insects - how encouraging! German biologists have run a series of tests with...

	Levitation Possible in Real World
...ing friction in the works. The scientists from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, claim they have discovered a way how to reverse the Casimir force to make it push tiny objects apart. Their discovery could lead to the development of micro machines that will be free from friction, with levitating moving parts. Micro-electromechanical systems are of major importance for example in tiny mechanical devices trigge...

	Scientists Found a Way to Store and Erase Memories Long After Their Formation
...constantly in order to keep one's memories going. Researchers were also able to find that in case the machine is briefly jammed this can lead to the erasure of a person's long-term memories. This discovery should be useful in finding ways to treating memory problems. Prof. Yadin Dudai and a Reut Shema, a research student, and Todd Sacktor, the representative of the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, made experiments on...
