FeedWill shrimp's eyes help create a better DVD? The answer is yes. Researchers at the University of Bristol, England, who are studying the shrimp's eye have found a way to create a better DVD.
How is this possible? Scientists discovered that the Mantis shrimp, found off the coast of Australia, can see in 12 primary colors, four times that of humans. The shrimp's eye can detect different kinds of light polarization which is the direction of oscillation in light waves.

Iran's flawed democracy is still better than most of the political systems among other countries in the region. For the past few decades the morality police, prodded by religious literalism, have mandated women to cover themselves when they are out in public. This same religious literalism has impeded the potential of a country that has a large population, in a key geographic region, with oil and other natural resources.
Iran is in the midst of a presidential election that has stimulated much heated debate among the population about the failures of the current government in economic and political terms, and that has created a feeling of isolation. The isolation is more than a feeling, and it has limited the growth of the nation to something far less than its capabilities.

In Greek mythology, Pan is the god of nature, who tirelessly watches over the shepherds and their flocks. Bridging the awkward gap between man and beast, Pan possesses the bottom half (plus horns) of a goat, and the torso and face of a man. Thousands of years later, myth is threatening to become reality; scientists developed a creature that is 85-percent sheep, 15-percent human. While this sounds straight out of the tabloids, it is disturbingly true (could "Bat Boy" be that far off?). | # | Blogger | Posts | Cmts |
