ALMA captures stirred-up planet factory

Written by National Radio Astronomy Observatory

Planet-forming environments can be much more complex and chaotic than previously expected. This is evidenced by a new image of the star RU Lup, made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

All planets, including the ones in our Solar System, are born in disks of gas and dust around stars, so-called protoplanetary disks.

Ancient Mars may have been covered in ice sheets

Written by Meghan Bartels

Early Mars may not have been quite the warm, wet paradise scientists have hoped for — not if the valleys scarring its surface work the same way as their counterparts here on Earth do.

That’s the conclusion of new research that tried to suss out what the Red Planet really looked like during its first billion years by analyzing more than 10,000 segments of valleys on Mars.

The High Costs And Low Benefits Of Electric Cars

Written by Duggan Flanakin

The rush to decarbonize every nation in the world in one or maybe two decades reflects the “I want it all NOW!” philosophy imbued through modern education systems.

Current and recent former students – and their teachers – demand a perfect world (since they can envision one) and exhibit zero patience (hence the nationwide riots in the U.S.).

Bill Gates: Climate Change Deaths Will Match COVID In 40 Years

Written by Sam Dorman

Billionaire Bill Gates wants the United States to treat climate change with the “same sense of urgency” with which it has responded to COVID-19, arguing that the impacts of the former will be much worse without corrective action.

“If you want to understand the kind of damage that climate change will inflict, look at COVID-19 and spread the pain out over a much longer period of time,” the Microsoft co-founder wrote on his blog Tuesday.

COVID-19: Vaccine ‘Not Possible’ for a Virus Not Yet Quantifiable

Written by Saeed A Qureshi PhD (edited by John O'Sullivan)

Regulatory authorities, such as the CDC/FDA all insist that their handling of the current Coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV2/COVID-19) is based on science and associated data or facts. This is especially the case in the United States.

We are told that an identified virus causes the infection which in turn causes, or may cause, deaths – potentially in the millions.

Molecular forces: The surprising stretching behavior of DNA

Written by Vienna University of Technology

When large forces, for example in bridge construction, act on a heavy beam, the beam will be slightly deformed. Calculating the relationship between forces, internal stresses and deformations is one of the standard tasks in civil engineering. But what happens when you apply these considerations to tiny objects — for example, to a single DNA double helix?

Mycotoxins: The Hidden Hormone Danger In Our Food Supply

Written by Sayer Ji

Over 30 years ago, scientists observed mycotoxin contaminated animal feed (grains) interfering with normal sexual development in young female pigs, resulting in estrogenic syndromes and precocious puberty.

More recent human research in the U.S. is confirms that the contamination of our food supply with fungal toxins is adversely affecting the sexual development of young girls.

Graphene Filtration: A revolution in Desalination technology!

Written by Learn Engineering

Recently, a group of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology researchers made a major breakthrough in the graphene based desalination process. They were able to remove 97% of common salts in an energy efficient way.

The current reverse osmosis desalination technology is energy intensive, and desalination plants’ capital costs are high.

COVID Tests Scientifically Fraudulent, Epidemic of False Positives

Written by David DeGraw, Torsten Engelbrecht and Konstantin Demeter

Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests are used worldwide to “diagnose” Sars-Cov-2 infection. An in-depth investigation reveals clear scientific evidence proving that these tests are not accurate and create a statistically significant percentage of false positives. Positive results more likely indicate “ordinary respiratory diseases like the common cold.”

Lithium in drinking water & incidences of crimes, suicides

Written by G N Schrauzer & K P Shrestha

Abstract: Using data for 27 Texas counties from 1978-1987, it is shown that the incidence rates of suicide, homicide, and rape are significantly higher in counties whose drinking water supplies contain little or no lithium than in counties with water lithium levels ranging from 70-170 micrograms/L; the differences remain statistically significant (p less than 0.01) after corrections for population density.

Last Ice Age, Fires Raged As Summer Temps Were 3-4C Warmer

Written by Kenneth Richard

A new study finds that 26 to 19 thousand years ago, with CO2 concentrations as low as 180 ppm, fire activity was [10 times more common] than today near the southern tip of Africa – mostly because summer temperatures were 3-4°C warmer. We usually assume the last glacial maximum – the peak of the last ice age – was significantly colder than it is today.
