Increasing Applications of Micro Bubbles

Micro bubbles have also been introduced by the Japanese to market safe and good tasting oysters. Micro bubbles of concentrated oxygen containing about 2% ozone can be used to inactivate norovirus in shellfish and oysters. This norovirus is one of the major pathogens causing food poisoning in winter. This is a much more cost effective method compared to cultivating the oysters in sterile seawater and using chlorine-based germicide.

The Interesting Eagle Nebula

This article details interesting facts about the Eagle Nebula that will enthrall the astronomy buff who craves for knowledge about both the origin of nebulas such as the Eagle Nebula as well as interesting facts and tidbits related to the universe in general.

Metal Pipe and Tube Bending

Bending metal tubes, beams and pipes is not as hard as it looks...with the right equipment. Here are four ways the construction sector bends the metal beams and pipes that support our buildings.

Why Does The Tool Bit Break Easily In Micro Milling?

While micro milling has been successfully applied in manufacturing bio-medical components, embossing dies and micro encoders, the breakage of the tool bit has been identified by many users as a teething problem. Why does the tool bit break so easily in micro milling as compared to conventional milling?

How To Machine Magnesium?

The main concern in machining magnesium alloy is the danger of fire ignition when dry cutting. Fire may occur when the melting point of the alloy (400-600 degrees Celsius) is exceeded during machining. The small chips and fine dust generated during cutting are also highly flammable and pose a serious fire risk if not properly handled.

How to Make a Thermometer

A thermometer is an instrument that measures the temperature. Depending on what country you live in, temperature is measured either in a scale called Fahrenheit or Celsius...

Sirt1 Gene is Required for the Increase in Physical Activity Induced by Caloric Restrictions

Caloric restriction (CR) is the best known approach to extend organism’s lifespan. It works remarkably well in various living beings, from yeast to mice. It is likely also to work in primates and humans. If an animal lives under CR, essentially semi-starving, one may think that it will try to preserve its energy by reducing physical activity. Apparently, this is not the case. For example, mice in reality move more and demonstrate increased foraging activity while on a restricted diet. This does make sense as far as individual’s survival is concerned. In the wild, mice confronted with food shortage are more likely to find more food when they try to search for it than if they simply sit there hoping for a piece of cheese to appear out of thin air.

Secrets of Thermoforming

Thermoforming is one of the procedures being done to manufacture plastic. A plastic sheet or film is used that can be easily soften up when heated and becomes hard again when it cools down.

Evolution, Intelligent Design, and the Battle for the American Intellect

Why doesn’t ID deserve equal time as the alternative scientific theory to biological evolution? In simplest terms, because ID is not science, nor is it based upon science. Real science is the practice of observing and explaining nature without resorting to the supernatural. Just because we don’t know how something works doesn’t mean God did it.

Five Controversies in Physics Today
