	New Electronic Display to Be Used on Clothes and Beer Cans
...One of the latest inventions in the field of light emitting devices might change the way people light their homes and design clothes. The device represents a thin film of plastic able to conduct electricity and create solar power. Scientists working on the international project are looking forward to bring the organic light emitting devices to the masses. Thus the invention could significantly cut costs by billions of ...

	Nano-nose to help identify illnesses
...ormal combination of proteins in the human body. After running a series of tests with blood of sick and healthy animals, the scientists were able to identify changes in serum. They do not want to stop here and they try to make this ability statistically stable. Later on Rotello plans to make the 'nano-nose' identify different kinds of cancer cells and other diseases. Such a nose device, sniffing out illnesses is not...

	Antarctic Microbes to Tell about Past and Future of Climate Change
...at because groups of invertebrates, as well as plants and microbes inhabit only a small portion of a huge continent, most scientists did not take them into consideration seriously. However recent discoveries and technical advances in the field of molecular biology and biogeography help scientists find that these plants and microbes are indeed very important for understanding the glacial history of our planet.

	Computer Simulation Unveils Unexpected Process on the Surface of the Sun
...ecrets, which are still to be discovered one day. A mathematician from the University of Vienna along with his colleagues astronomers has simulated the solar granulations and has made some surprising discoveries. According to Herbert Muthsam, professor at the Mathematic Institute at the University of Vienna, the solar granulation is a process similar to the waves of boiling water in a kettle. It is a process during which...

	Solar System Similar to Ours Discovered
...ing distant star more prominent. Scientists manged to discover as much as six stars, including the new ones. During the Scorpius event, they found several planets and this gives a hope for future discoveries. Dr Scott Gaudi, a leading researcher explained that new planetary system is like a scale model of our solar system and other planets that are "suitable for life" well co-exist unnoticed. The study is published...

	Biofilm Bacteria Protect Themselves With Chemical Weapons
... that biofilms use in order to defend themselves against the attack of phagocytes. Teamed up with colleagues from Australia, Great Britain and the United States, scientists are now publishing their discoveries in the popular specialist publication PLoS ONE. The finding states that biofilm bacteria apply chemical weapons to protect themselves. Until recent findings, researchers could not understand the core of the biof...
