Natural painkiller found in human saliva

A new painkilling substance found in human saliva has been discovered that is up to six times more potent than morphine it's produced naturally by the human body. Natural painkillers are very rare, and researchers hope that this recent find might be harnessed as a clinical treatment.

Naturally produced painkillers might help to avoid some of the side effects experienced by patients treated with synthetic compounds such as morphine, including addiction and tolerance with prolonged use. But the new substance will first have to be tested to confirm whether it will be an effective drug, experts warn.

Fingers Can Detect Nano-Scale Wrinkles

Fingers Can Detect Nano-Scale Wrinkles

Swedish scientists have shown that people can detect nano-scale wrinkles while running their fingers upon a seemingly smooth surface. The findings could lead such advances as touch screens for the visually impaired and other products, says one of the researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

 One of the authors, Mark Rutland, Professor of Surface Chemistry, says that the human finger can discriminate between surfaces patterned with ridges as small as 13 nanometres in amplitude and non-patterned surfaces.

"This means that, if your finger was the size of the Earth, you could feel the difference between houses from cars," Rutland says.

Nelson Mandela dies at age 95

Nelson Mandela dies at age 95

South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela died aged 95 at his Johannesburg home on Thursday after a prolonged lung infection, plunging his nation and the world into mourning for a man hailed by global leaders as a moral giant.

Someone who made history,someone who was a true inspiration,someone whom the world will surely miss and mourn his death!

Although Mandela had been frail and ailing for nearly a year, Zuma's announcement late on Thursday of the death of the former president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate shook South Africa.

Tributes began flooding in almost immediately for a man who was an iconic global symbol of struggle against injustice and of racial reconciliation.

US President Barack Obama said the world had lost "one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth".

Why can't you see stars on the moon?

You certainly CAN see stars from the moon, and if light from the sun and earth are not interfering, the sight must be nothing less than dazzling. You would never have to contend with bad weather, or with other kinds of atmospheric disturbance. 

Why can't you see stars on the moon

You may wonder why stars don't appear in photographs that were taken during lunar landings.?
Lets get you guys an answer for this?

"You cant see stars on as because The moon has a daytime and nighttime also. This is daytime on the moon. During the day, stars are not visible. Day and night is not strictly limited to earth.Because the moon lacks an atmosphere. Our day sky is blue because of our atmosphere. Our night isn't black either: it's dark blue."

No stars on the moon

Photographing stars not only on moon but also on earth is not extremely difficult, but it's not easy, either. Try it with your camera. See if you can get good images of the stars just by taking a snapshot in a very dark place on a clear night. If your camera has any auto features, it will probably "complain". At the same location, try taking a photo of a buddy using your flash (so you get decent detail) and where there are also stars in the background. See what you get.

Reason why we hate the recorded sound of our voice

The reason why we hate the recorded sound of our voice is because our skull changes the resonance of our voice from within and creates more bass. When we hear a digital recording of our voice, although slightly unfamiliar to ourselves, it’s exactly how other people hear it.

1 in 200 males today direct descendants of Genghis Khan

Direct descendants of Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan had sex with so many women from the areas he conquered that 1 in 200 males today carry his DNA markers and are his direct descendants.

In 2003 a groundbreaking historical genetics paper reported results which indicated that a substantial proportion of men in the world are direct line descendants of Genghis Khan. By direct line, I mean that they carry Y chromosomes which seem to have come down from an individual who lived approximately 1,000 years ago. As Y chromosomes are only passed from father to son, that would mean that the Y is a record of one’s patrilineage. Genghis Khan died ~750 years ago, so assuming 25 years per generation, you get about 30 men between the present and that period.

Gadsby: A Story of Over 50,000 Words Without Using the Letter "E"

Gadsby A Story of Over 50,000 Words Without Using the Letter "E" is a 1939 novel by the author Ernest Vincent Wright.
