Scientists can read your brain?!?!?!?!?!?!

Scientists can read your brain using a commonly used system-Brain scans. Brain scans can read your brain when you are reminiscing on a memory. One example they used was when they brought volunteers to watch similar videos. Then the scientists ask the volunteers to remember what they had watched. When the scientists scan their brains there is a trace of memory. The scientists use an algorithm to find a trace and pattern in the volunteers memory. Scientists now wish to bring them back to see a slowly diminishing trace or diminished trace.

Math Project-Child Soldiers

300,000 kids have died in Africa so far. This atrocity has started around 2007 and has become a worldwide issue. At this rate, 1,800,000 kids will die by 2020. In 13 years more than a million kids die. Can we let the whole population of African children die? Soon enough it might happen so we need to figure out how to stop this "pandemic". A pandemic of child abuse has struck Africa and we need to prevent millions of kids from death. We can't let millions of poor innocent children for an unethical reason. Saving adults. If kids die at this rate there will only be a handful of adults left.

Tiny Nuclear Batteries to Power Micro Devices

Have you ever seen a nuclear battery? Typical chemical batteries are the basic ones. In your remote is there a small nuclear battery with tritium. Believe it or not its here and has a semiconductor that harvests electrons.Although it won't power your laptop or ipod it is being developed by betavoltaics. This is actually a microwatt but it is one step closer to the future. A green world can help especially if we can figure out how to harness more energy. This actually happens to have an effect on the military. In theory betavoltaics is the main energy source and if we can expand it we will have a great future.

Doctor

My podcast is going to have information on what you have to do as a doctor. It is also about how much a doctor makes and where to find a job. I also talk about the importance of chemistry.

Computers get self-healing software

Have you ever wanted your computer to fix itself when you're not around? There is a new ClearView software that will speed the process of patch fixing. This new software is used with a startup called Determina. Together it is more resilient and it doesn't require a code or any human interaction. This piece of software is interesting because of its intrusion alerts. ClearView has gret behavioral pieces due to the constructive instructions.

Clever new fan has no blades

Most people recognize the conventional fan with blades. Now there is a new fan taking place. James Dyson has come up with an incredibly sleek, circular fan that has no blades. The fan takes a simple "Air Multiplier" technology to launch 119 gallons of air per second. The blades on old fans are used to chop the air while the Air Multiplier fan uses the impeller of a jet engine. The inner edge of the ring is modeled after an airplane wing that has been bent into a loop. I believe this invention can help many people since there is no hazardous spinning. This fan is very innovative since it is kid friendly fan. This fan has the addition of easy maintenance and can be regulated with a dimmer switch.

How Baseball Players Catch Fly Balls

How baseball players catch fly balls has been a mystery for years. Has this mystery been solved by a theory? Scientists might have cracked this case wide open. Professional baseball players for example, "Adjust their speed to arrive at the landing spot, just before the ball arrives." According to Dan Peterson, the author, they do this to ensure a catch. I always thought catching fly balls was easy and I'm sad to say it's not as easy as it looks. I may be mistaken but the scientists aren't. They made players do a field test to see if it's easier to sprint once or move freely. The players had better results when they were allowed to move freely. The term scientists use is "Optical Acceleration Cancellation." How they catch the ball with the sun in their eyes, is a different story, but we can look at that another day.
