Do you know?
If you punch a series of holes in a paper cup filled with Water, it will squirt out farthest and fastest from the lowest holes as water pressure is greatest at the bottom of the cup. For the same reason, dams are made thicker at the bottom than at the top.

  • Coolest Spacecraft Ever In Orbit Around L2 (-273 Degrees Celsius)
    On July 2 the detectors of Planck's High Frequency Instrument reached their amazingly low operational temperature of -273°C, making them the coldest known objects in space. The spacecraft has also just entered its final orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system, L2.

  • 'Jumping Gene' Diminishes The Effect Of New Type 2 Diabetes Risk Gene
    Research has identified a new gene associated with diabetes, together with a mechanism that makes obese mice less susceptible to diabetes. A genomic fragment that occurs naturally in some mouse strains diminishes the activity of the risk gene Zfp69. The researchers also found that the corresponding human gene (ZNF642) is especially active in overweight individuals with diabetes.



  • 'A Touch Of Glass' In Metal, Settles Century-old Question
    Scientists have found evidence of an important similarity between the behavior of polycrystalline materials -- like metals and ceramics -- and glasses, research that could lead to better predictions of how many valuable materials behave under stress.
