Physics science latest discoveries

If you are interested in the physics science latest discoveries, you will be excited to find out that scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have become the first to engineer 3-D materials able to reverse the natural direction of visible and near-infrared light. The materials could be used as the basis for higher resolution optical imaging, as well as nano-circuits for high-powered computers. Science-fiction and fantasy fans will be amazed to hear that the discovery may also lead to the development of the cloaking devices to render objects invisible to the human eye.

	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...
