    Brain scanners trying to pinpoint our virtues within - USATODAY.com

    Quoted: Images that purport to show in living color the parts of the brain that generate such virtues as compassion, fairness and wisdom are invading turf that was once reserved for philosophers, theologians and psychologists.
    From morality to math, a revolution in "functional" magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which observes brain blood flow, is being used by researchers to pinpoint the pieces of the brain that people rely on to think and feel.

    Do 68 Molecules Hold The Key To Understanding Disease?

    Quoted: Why is it that the origins of many serious diseases remain a mystery? In considering that question, a scientist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has come up with a unified molecular view of the indivisible unit of life, the cell, which may provide an answer.

    Plastics unite to make unexpected 'metal' - tech - 15 June 2008 - New Scientist Tech

    Quoted: Jamming the right two pieces of plastic together creates a thin but strongly conducting channel along the junction that acts like a metal, say Dutch researchers. The discovery could lead to a whole new way of making electronics from non-metallic materials, and even new superconductors.

    Microwaved Water and Plants

    Below is a science fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.

    WikiProfessional Concept Web

    Wikiprofessional's Concept Web Initiative is a global collaboration to innovate how knowledge is represented and expanded on the Internet.

    The Internet embodies an enormous information space that continues to expand exponentially in page count but not proportionally in new knowledge. Redundancy of the same facts and opinions within a myriad of web-pages has artificially inflated the size of the Internet. To get a million search results on a query without the ability to separate redundancy of the same information from the incremental knowledge expansions on that query concept is highly inefficient. Within the Concept Web, information is converted to streamlined knowledge where redundancy and newness of idea expansion are properly represented.

    In the Concept Web, knowledge representation and expansion is accomplished with the aid of two revolutionary technologies: Knowlet and a new professional Wiki.
