This technology could allow scientists to regulate growth and chemical processes in plants, as well as harness photosynthesis to create new solar cells.
The Swedish group added a polymer inside the rose’s natural system of vessels and its leaves, and they were able to show it's possible to create electrical components that resemble wires, transistors, and even display elements.

Quantum Mechanics - The Infinite

Paul October 27, 2015

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEATDhaZyVA The rules of quantum mechanics prove that information can exist even in empty space . Quantum entanglement (connection between pairs or groups of particles) supposes that all information in our brain (i.e. our soul) copies itself into ambient space and dissolves in the Universe after death of brain !

Alternative to Meditation - Coloring

Paul October 16, 2015

Psychologists found that coloring in or out of the lines helps unlock creative potential. It also helps relieve tension and anxiety, something we have amply in this society of ours.

“I recommend it as a relaxation technique,” says Antoni Martinez, a psychologist. “We can use it to enter a more creative, freer state. I recommend it in a quiet environment, even with chill music. Let the color and lines flow.”

1899-1910 Artist Depictions of Year 2000

Paul October 15, 2015

There are few things as fascinating as seeing what people in the past dreamed about the future.

"France in the Year 2000" is one example. The series of paintings, made by Jean-Marc Côté and other French artists in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910, shows artist depictions of what life might look like in the year 2000. The first series of images were printed and enclosed in cigarette and cigar boxes around the time of the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, according to the Public Domain Review, then later turned into postcards.

Edge of the Universe

Paul October 15, 2015

Lots of people believe the Universe is infinite, but there's a good possibility that might not be the case. Which means that there would be an actual edge of the Universe. What happens at that edge? Is there a restaurant? Join Matt on this week’s episode of Space Time as he explores the greatest expanses of our Universe. So what do you find when you reach the edge? More Universe? Bubble Universes? Back where you started?! Check out this episode of Space Time to find out!
