Formula for turning cement into 'metal':
'In a move that would make the alchemists of King Arthur's time green with envy, scientists have unravelled the formula for turning liquid cement into liquid metal. That makes cement a semiconductor and opens up its use in the profitable consumer electronics marketplace for thin films, protective coatings and computer chips.'
Soda and illegal drugs cause similar damage to teeth:
'Addicted to soda? You may be shocked to learn that drinking large quantities of your favourite carbonated soda could be as damaging to your teeth as methamphetamine and crack cocaine use. The consumption of illegal drugs and abusive intake of soda can cause similar damage to your mouth through the process of tooth erosion, according to a case-study published in the March/April 2013 issue of General Dentistry'
Scientists develop CO2-sequestration technique:
Lawrence Livermore scientists have discovered and demonstrated in the laboratory a new technique to remove and store atmospheric carbon-dioxide while generating carbon-negative hydrogen and producing alkalinity that can be used to offset ocean acidification.
Data from the nineteenth century provides more confirmation of global warming:
A new analysis by NASA and a group of universities of ocean data collected more than 135 years ago by the HMS Challenger's oceanographic expedition provides further confirmation that human activities have warmed our planet over the past century.
In Malawi, evangelicals don't doubt climate-change.
So why is it taking their blinkered American counterparts so long???
'When I asked Grace Kasowa, a devout Presbyterian farmer in Chagunda village, what message she would have for American evangelicals who deny climate-change, she replied emphatically: "You tell those Doubting Thomases that climate-change is real and has a negative impact on people. Less rain means I can't grow vegetables any more. Hungry elephants and other wild animals are coming into our village to rummage for our food and water." '
Autistic teenager tipped for Nobel Prize
A teenager who was diagnosed with autism and told he would never be able to read has been tipped as a future winner of a Nobel Prize. Jacob Barnett, fourteen, who was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at two, is now studying for a Master's degree in quantum physics. His mother Kristine Barnett, author of The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius, told BBC Breakfast she initially found it hard to get Jacob the right education.
