Periodic table moves closer to completion – if element 113 has been discovered as expected

After nine years of searching, a group of Japanese researchers may have finally done it. Researchers in Japan have reported that they have created an atom of element 113, an element with 113 protons and 165 neutrons in its nucleus.

If you place two metronomes on a stationary board and start them out of sync, they will remain out of sync forever. But if the board is placed on two rollers, so that the movement of the metronomes can be transferred through the moveable board, each metronome’s movement will affect the movement of the other…

According to a new report issued by UCS, despite their public commitment to sustainability issues, Fox News reporting of global warming is wrong 93% of the time. UCS stated, ““It’s like they were writing and talking about some sort of bizarre world where climate change isn’t happening.”

Scientists say they have found a way to use carbon nanotubes to create super hi-resolution holographic images in a process that could pave the way for 3D holographic video. Carbon nanotubes, are exceptionally small manmade materials that are several times thinner than a wavelength of visible light. They are essentially long, thin hollow pipes only…

Researchers have discovered a way to boil water without producing any bubbles. To do so, they manipulated what has been known for a long, long time by using the right kind of texture and chemistry to prevent bubbling during boiling.

Scientists are confounded after discovering virgin viper births occurring both in the wild and in captivity (teenage geeks everywhere hold their breath hoping the anomaly does not spread to the human population).

In a rare find, scientists identified a new species of monkey found in the remote forests of Congo – the lesula. It has been nearly three decades since scientists identified a new monkey species. The lesula was known to local hunters, they just never thought to mention it to anyone else.

The Snapping Shrimp has a unique large claw that creates a wave of bubble that generates huge acoustic pressure when snapped. The bubble it produces reaches speeds up to 60 mph with a sound so loud it can kill a small fish.

It’s official, there is enough wind on the plane to supply all the world’s power requirements. Affordability however, is an altogether different matter.

Scientists have just generated the world’s fastest laser light pulse, a beam that shoots for 67 attoseconds, or 0.000000000000000067 seconds. Such a quick burst is useful for allowing scientists to view extremely fast quantum mechanical processes, such as movement of electrons during chemical reactions. According to Wired magazine: To achieve their record-setting blast, the researchers…
