			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oakley, a company that makes sunglasses mostly for athletics, developed a new glasses that help blinds see using their tongue.</p>
<p>The first to test this new technology was <strong>Craig Lundberg</strong>, who lost his eyes in combat in Iraq three years ago.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2928" title="BrainPort Vision" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BrainPort-Vision.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="350" /></p>
<p>The device is called <a href="http://vision.wicab.com/technology/"><strong>BrainPort</strong></a>, and works like this:</p>
<p>A video camera is attached to a pair of glasses captures the moving image in the wearers usual field of vision. Then, the BrainPort device transmits the image via a cable to a lollipop-shape device which sits on the tip of the tongue. Last, hundreds of of tiny electrodes tingle to reflect the shape of the image on the tongue. Darker section of the image produce stronger pulses on the tongue to create a grainy black and white image.</p>
<p><strong>This is the result:</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2930" title="Craig Lundberg BrainPort" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Craig-Lundberg-BrainPort.jpg" alt="" width="433" height="354" /></p>
<p>According to Graig, he was able to identify the top line of the optician’s eye test card, clearly visualizing the letters.</p>
<p>He said: “I could feel with my tongue that the first letter was an A, and then I moved onto the next one. It was amazing. Then I walked down a corridor and I could make out the doorways, the walls and people coming towards me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2924" title="A carbon nanotube Energy" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/A-carbon-nanotube-Energy.jpg" alt="" width="369" height="263" />MIT scientists discovered a new way to produce energy, that could lead to a new way of producing electricity, the researchers say.</p>
<p>The researchers used <a href="http://web.mit.edu/press/2010/thermopower-waves.html"><strong>carbon nanotubes</strong></a> coated with a layer of fuel to produce so-called <strong>thermopower wave</strong>, during the process they stumbled across a reaction that may eventually be used to power small electronics such as computers and cell phones. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/12/mit.research.electricity/index.html?hpt=T2"><strong>CNN Reports</strong></a></p>
<p>The research led by Michael Strano, MIT associate professor of chemical engineering.</p>
<p>&#8220;This could lead to batteries that are up to 10 times smaller and still have the same power output. In the portable energy and energy conservation arena, we&#8217;re trying to find power sources that have a smaller profile but hold more energy,&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Some of the advantages of using this new technology are:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Much more power from tiny tiny device.</li>
<li><a href="http://palscience.com/2010/03/07/sources-of-alternative-energy/"><strong>Eco-Findley</strong></a>: No heavy metal residue. The current batteries we use are bad for our environment, but using this method eliminates toxic metals such as nickel and cadmium.</li>
<li>Saves a lot of energy.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Public transportation in the city could be very confusing and tiring, especially if you are not from that city or county. So, to make transportation easier on commuters, a company based in Netherlands designed a new concept bus and train system that make it easier for people to navigate the city and know where they are exactly. &#8211; -<a href="http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=274143&amp;set_id=423326&amp;"><strong>Designer Page</strong></a></p>

<p>The bus has a built in monitors that give full description about the location of the train, the destinations, and any delays.</p>
<p>The monitors look like a GPS, that gives your real time updates about your trip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IBM and Stanford University researchers discovered a new types of environmentally sustainable plastics made out of plants. This breakthrough, could lead to a new type of plastic to replace the petroleum-based plastic.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2910" title="plants" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/plants.jpg" alt="" width="213" height="142" />The new discovery may have sustainability implications across a wide range of industries including biodegradable plastics, plastics recycling, healthcare and microelectronics.  According to IBM</p>
<p>“We&#8217;re exploring new methods of applying technology and our expertise in materials science to create a sustainable, environmentally sound future,” said Josephine Cheng, IBM Fellow and vice president, IBM Research &#8211; Almaden.  “The development of new families of organic catalysts brings more versatility to green chemistry and opens the door for novel applications, such as making biodegradable plastics, improving the recycling process and drug delivery.”</p>
<p>The petroleum-based plastic can be recycled only once, but with the new technology plastic can be recycled again and again. In the United States, up to 63 pounds of plastic packaging per-person is disposed of each year, instead of being repeatedly recycled.  The IBM-Stanford breakthrough in green chemistry could lead to a new recycling process that reverses the polymerization process to regenerate monomers in their original state, reducing waste and pollution significantly.</p>
<p>These breakthroughs also hold promise for biomedical applications.  For example, many effective drugs that are designed to target cancer cells are often so potent that they attack cancerous and healthy cells alike.  The use of organocatalysis could help in the design of custom polymers that may aid in delivering drugs to a specific cell or region.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2897" title="Sources of Energy" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Sources-of-Energy.jpg" alt="" width="362" height="198" />Without doubt, oil supply will come to end one day . We will run out of oil actually much faster and sooner than what oil companies are claiming. Scientists have criticized a major review of the world&#8217;s remaining oil reserves, warning that the end of oil is coming sooner than governments and oil companies are prepared to admit. So, in order to survive and make sure that the future generation will have an independent source of energy, we have to start seriously looking into other sources of energy, especially the clean ones.</p>
<p><strong>1. Artificial Photosynthesis:</strong> Since the creation of earth, green plants have employed photosynthesis to capture energy from sunlight and convert it into <a href="http://www.tmi.utexas.edu/pdf/MSE_Talks_2007_pdf/Meyers_Jeremy.pdf">electrochemical energy</a>. Researchers in the United States funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, discovered the key catalyst the can do the same job as photosynthesis. They discovered that nano-sized crystals of cobalt oxide can effectively carry out the critical photosynthetic reaction of splitting water molecules and produce liquid fuels from (carbon dioxide and water). Just yesterday, <a href="http://www.suncatalytix.com/">Sun Catalytix</a>, a company based in Cambridge, MA announced that they used only one bottle of drinking water and four hours of sunlight to produce 30 KWh of electricity. The research led by Dan Nocera, Catalytix owner and MIT chemist. The even more exciting news, artificial photosynthesis produces Hydrogen instead of Glucose like in green plants. This means that we can use Hydrogen to power up many other things. In 2008, for the first time in the history of aviation, Boeing has flown a manned airplane that was powered by a hydrogen battery. Imagine using Catalytix&#8217;s technology for commercial planes, cars, factories etc.., wouldn&#8217;t be great cheap source of alternative energy?</p>
<p><strong>2. Garbage and Human Waste:</strong> Tons of garbage and waste products from our houses, factories restaurants and many other places are produced everyday around the U.S. So, scientists had this genius idea to convert all that garbage to some kind of energy. So, Fulcrum BioEnergy announced a plan for building 120$ million plant near Reno, Nev., to make ethanol from garbage. The plants then would use over 90,000 tons of garbage to make 10.5 million gallons of ethanol a year. The project is expected to start in 2010.</p>
<p><strong>3. Bacteria and Microorganisms:</strong> A very interesting research conducted at the University of University of Sheffield and published in the Journal of Bioinformatics, investigated the possibility of harvesting <a href="http://www.america.gov/st/energy-english/2009/April/20090407085737abretnuh0.2269861.html">energy from bacteria</a>. They studies a kind of bacteria called <a href="http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Nostoc">Nostoc</a>. Nostoc fixes nitrogen and, in doing so, releases hydrogen that can then potentially be used as fuel. Fixing nitrogen is a complex process because bacterial metabolism is a huge network of chemical reactions, and even the most sophisticated techniques can only measure a small fraction of its activity. Shang-Tian Yang, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State, used another kind of bacteria to produce energy. Yang and his colleagues developed a mutant strain of the bacterium <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_beijerinckii">Clostridium beijerinckii</a> in a bioreactor containing bundles of polyester fibers. In that environment, the mutant bacteria produced up to 30 grams of butanol per liter.</p>
<p><strong>4. Geothermal Energy:</strong> Earth is boiling inside, it has enormous energy stored.This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. But, can we use that energy? how efficient is it? Apparently, it has been used for bathing and space heating since ancient Roman times. These days, scientists are hoping to convert that energy into electricity. <a href="http://geoheat.oit.edu/">Oregon Institute of Technology</a> is planning on building a 7.6$ million geothermal power plant on campus, the plant will become the main source of power for the school in few years; and making the school the first university to be powered completely by geothermal energy.</p>
<p><strong>5. Wind Energy:</strong> I&#8217;ve read so many new inventive ways using wind to generate power. The recent one that really inspired me was using <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news137388314.html">kites to power up over 100,000 homes in Netherlands</a>. Researchers from the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, have successfully demonstrated an experiment to generate electricity from high-flying kites. According to the scientists, a single 10-square-meter high-flying kite could produce 10 kilowatts of power, which could supply electricity for about 10 houses.</p>
<p><strong>6. Breath:</strong> Talking about inventions, a new technology called “the Eco-Box”, <a href="http://palscience.com/2009/02/07/your-breath-could-generate-energy/">developed by Origo Industries will capture the CO2 exhaled by airport travelers and convert it to fuel</a>. The system will recycle breths through a photo-bioreactor (PBR) to create an algae-based biofuel to power some of the airport’s ground vehicles and potentially generate electricity. How Amazing is that?</p>
<p><strong>7. Solar Power:</strong> The sun is our ultimate energy source because it drives other sources, such as wind and water. From the earliest times, in ancient Greece, great teachers advised people to build their homes facing south. Philosophers such as Socrates and Aristotle taught that houses should be built so that they could be heated by the sun. Many companies these days making many things that run on <a href="http://palscience.com/2009/06/08/creative-solar-powered-gadgets/">Solar power</a>, such as cell-phones, small  planes, and solar panels to power several things. I believe that solar energy is going to be the main source of power in the future, its free, clean and lots of it.</p>
<p><strong>8. Water:</strong> ocean current, waterfalls, dams are ways to produce power. The recent impressive project I read about was in Florida. A team of scientists at Florida Atlantic University are working on a project to generate renewable energy using ocean currents. When the project is completed, it is expected to supply Florida with 1/3 of its energy and power 3-7 million homes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2886" title="5 Reasons Why People May Want Human Cloning" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Cloned-baby.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="282" /></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I am totally against human cloning for several reasons which I will talk about in a later post. But lets digg a little bit deeper and see whether human cloning is a good idea or not.</p>
<p>Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two. Due to ethical concerns, On December 12, 2001 the United Nations General Assembly began elaborating an international convention against the  reproductive cloning of human beings. In February 2005 a vaguely worded and non-binding United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning was finally adopted. President Barack Obama says human cloning is &#8220;dangerous, profoundly wrong&#8221; and has no place in society.</p>
<p>Here are 5 reasons (there are more) why people may want human cloning.</p>
<h1><strong>1. Recover someone who was loved:</strong></h1>
<p>Imagine this scenario, a father has a 9 year old son who really likes a lot. The son is health, smart, active and lovable. The son dies suddenly from a car accident. The father was asked by the doctors, would you like to clone him? We will give the exact copy of your dead son within 9 months?</p>
<p>If you were the father or mother, what would you say?</p>
<p>No way right? The reason why you said no is because cloning is still no acceptable idea in our society, and I believe in 50-100 years, human cloning will become easy concept to accept.</p>
<h1>2. Infertility</h1>
<p>Millions of couples around the world suffer from some kind of fertility problem.  So, rather than use donated sperm and eggs, why not use a cell of your own to give birth to &#8220;yourself&#8221;, your own twin? I know this sounds really weird, but wouldn&#8217;t be a solution?</p>
<h1>3. Eugenics:</h1>
<p>&#8220;Improving human genetic qualities&#8221;, according to eugenics, the future generation will have only, highly intelligent, healthy, and noble characters people. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#cite_note-Osborn1937-5"><strong>This idea</strong></a> was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century, it has largely fallen into disrepute after having become associated with Nazi Germany. Eugenics was practiced around the world and was promoted by governments, and influential individuals and institutions. Its advocates regarded it as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through the promotion of higher reproduction of certain people and traits, and the reduction of reproduction of certain people and traits.</p>
<h1>4. Megalomania:</h1>
<p>How about creating another Einstein? oh wait, why one lets make a bunch. Imagine the world with multiple copies of Sir Isaac Newton, Socrates, and Charles Darwin.</p>
<p>Think about this, the United State banned any human cloning research for a long time now. But what if China for example cloned Thomas Edison. Wouldn&#8217;t the United State do the same?</p>
<h1>5. Assisting Medicine and Medical research:</h1>
<p>Parents can produce a clone of a sick child to provide bone marrow or other lifesaving bodily elements that can be provided with relatively modest risk to the clone. Parents, both of whom have a lethal recessive gene, can produce a child by cloning rather than risk the one-in-four chance that their child will face an early death, and  Many many other examples.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">These smartest people were picked based on their IQ (Intelligence quotient) test. IQ, is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. The purpose of the test is measure the mental ability and horse power of the brain for any person. I have noticed that many of these people are Chess players and champions. I don&#8217;t know if there is any link between intelligence and chess, but this is my observations. Many of my resources confirmed the name and the IQ score for each of the people on the list. There were couple of other names with high IQ score but I couldn&#8217;t really confirm that 100%. Note: All these people are still alive as of 2010.</p>
<p>IQ scores reflect general    capacity for performing intellectual tasks, such as solving verbal and    mathematical problems.</p>
<p>The average IQ score is    100.  The standard deviation of IQ scores is 15.  So, this means:</p>
<ul>
<li>50% of people have IQ scores between 90 and 110</li>
<li>2.5% of people are very superior in intelligence (over 130)</li>
<li>2.5% of people are mentally deficient / impaired / retarded (under   70)</li>
<li>0.5% of people are near genius or genius (over 140)</li>
</ul>
<p>Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400).  Here&#8217;s a rough guide:</p>
<ul>
<li> 115-124 &#8211; Above average (e.g., university students)</li>
<li>125-134 &#8211; Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)</li>
<li>135-144 &#8211; Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)</li>
<li>145-154 &#8211; Genius (e.g., professors)</li>
<li>155-164 &#8211; Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)</li>
<li>165-179 &#8211; High genius</li>
<li>180-200 &#8211; Highest genius</li>
<li>&gt;200 &#8211; &#8220;Unmeasurable genius&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>So, here is what I came up with. Please comment of you have any suggestions.</p>
<h1>1. Kim Ung-Yong &#8211; IQ = 210</h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2854" title="Kim Ung-Yong" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Kim-Ung-Yong.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="146" />Yong is a Korean <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_prodigy"><strong>child prodigy</strong></a>.  He showed his intelligent ability since he was little. He started speaking at 6 months, he was able to read Japanese, Korean, German, English and many other language by his third birthday. At age 3, he was able to solve complicated calculus equations easily with no problems. He got his Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University when he was 16 years old. Kim has the <strong>highest score in the planet</strong>, he was listed in the <a href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/"><strong>Guinness Book of World Records </strong></a>under “Highest IQ”; the book estimated the boy’s score at over 210.</p>
<h1>2. Christopher Michael Langan &#8211; IQ = 195</h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2857" title="Christopher Michael Langan" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Christopher-Michael-Langan.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="169" />&#8220;<a href="http://www.kmbc.com/news/13223999/detail.html"><strong>The Smartest Man In America</strong></a>&#8220;, thats what the media called him when he scored 195 on the IQ test.  Langan was born in San Francisco and spent most of his early life in Montana. He began talking at six months, taught himself to read before he was four, and was repeatedly skipped ahead in school. During high school he started  teaching him self, advanced physics, math, philosophy, Greek and Latin. Then he went to college but dropped out because he thought he could teach the professor more than they could teach him. for over 20 years he worked several jobs, he worked as construction worker, cowboy, forest service firefighter, and farmhand. In 2004, Langan moved with his wife Gina (née LoSasso), a clinical <a href="http://www.tbilaw.com/NeuropsychologyPage.php"><strong>neuropsychologist</strong></a>, to northern Missouri, where he owns and operates a horse ranch. On January 25, 2008, Langan was a contestant on NBC&#8217;s 1 vs. 100, where he won $250,000.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These absolutely breathtaking images were discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, an English archaeologist and Egyptologist.</p>
<p>Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled 1333 BC – 1324 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. Tutankhamun was nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. In historical terms, Tutankhamun&#8217;s significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor and father, Akhenaten.</p>
<div id="attachment_2845" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 502px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2845" title="Tutankhamun's funeral mask" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Tutankhamuns-funeral-mask.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="651" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tutankhamun&#39;s funeral mask in solid gold inlaid with semi-precious stones and glass-paste</p></div>
<p>Interestingly, A DNA study released in February 2010 claimed that Tutankhamun was weakened by congenital illnesses and died of complications from the broken leg aggravated by severe brain malaria.</p>
<div id="attachment_2846" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 590px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2846 " title="Tutankhamun's king's head" src="http://palscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Tutankhamuns-kings-head.jpg" alt="Stopper in the form of the king's head from one of the four canopic urns." width="580" height="485" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Stopper in the form of the king&#39;s head from one of the four canopic urns.</p></div>
<p>Genetic tests have provided evidence that Tutankhamun and at least four other mummies from his family were infected with Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite that causes an often deadly form of malaria. The team, led by Zahi Hawass, of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, concluded that the king’s many disorders probably weakened his immune system, so that he could have died after suffering a “sudden leg fracture, possibly introduced by a fall,” which became life-threatening when he got malaria.</p>
