Canadian center for Electron Microscopy has developed a new powerful microscope that is world's most powerful microscope till date. According to Gianluigi Botton, Director of Canadian center for Electron Microscopy, says that the power of this microscope can be thought as equivalent to "taking Hubble Telescope and aiming it at atomic level"

Bet you never thought you'd see lingerie for your feet, but Capezio decided to play upon the idea of thongs and the connection to lingerie to create sexy footwear designed to support while providing some interesting appeal. This foot lingerie is sure to appeal to those men that have a foot fetish, although it was really designed to be quirky and also provide added comfort with padding for the balls of your feet.
With these fashion items now in your mind; what will you think of next time you hear the word 'thong'?

Earlier this year he unfolded the wings on his back and flew 186 mph (300 kilometers) above the Swiss Alps.






 Using four small jet engines attached to his carbon wings, he climbed at 200 ft per minute before executing a series of stunts for a crowd of reporters watching from a mountain top.

Jay Leno, an avid car enthusiast, owns a fully restored Baker Electric car that was orginally built in 1909.
Proving that good ideas can be found by rediscovering past inventions, like the Einstein Refrigerator, the Baker Electric car was an idea ahead of it's time.

Biomimicry is the science that imitates nature to create new products.
Resilient Technologies, a Wisconsin based company, has created a tire that can't go flat.
Instead of using a pressurized air cavity, the tire design relies on a geometric pattern of six-sided cells that are arranged in a matrix like a honeycomb.
It has the same ride, reduced noise levels and heat generation as pressurized tires. The goal was to create an airless tire with uniform flexibility and load transfer that would endure tremendous wear and tear and still perform well.
The best design was found in nature, which was the honeycomb.

This wild new motorcycle, invented by 19-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak, is among the latest inventions to capture attention.
Debuting at the National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, the "Uno" uses gyro technology for balance and acceleration.
It is a battery charged machine that accelerates by leaning forward and slowing down by leaning backwards. It weighs approximately 129 pounds (58 kg.) and has a top speed of 25 mph (40 klms).

The Story:

I Hate Luv Storys is a romantic comedy starring Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor. Imran Khan plays Jay, an assistant director to the most famous romantic filmmaker in the Indian film industry. Jay lives by the principle I Hate Luv Storys yet has no choice but to encounter it on a daily basis. Despite his distaste for romance, Jay portrays a classic flirt in the film. "Imran plays a flirt or womanizer in my film. He's a 23-year-old boy who looks at, and flirts with every pretty girl that comes his way," director Punit Malhotra told reporters when asked about the movie.
Things get worse for Jay when his boss Veer, played by Samir Soni, assigns Jay to work with the new production designer on the film, Simran, played by Sonam Kapoor. Simran and Jay are total opposites. Simran loves 'luv storys' so much that her life seems to resemble one. She has the perfect job, the perfect boyfriend, and presumably the perfect life. Her meeting with Jay changes all that. Their on-set relationship begins to replicate that of the 'Luv Story' they are working on, forcing Simran to choose between her boyfriend and Jay. "Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor make a very fresh pair and look good with each other," producer Karan Johar told reporters.

No it's not called Dhoop. The next Strings album is tantalizingly called Koi Aanay Wala Hai. It's an apt name for the most anticipated album of the year.


Strings, as one music aficionado put it recently now fall into the category of "classic". This Strings fan is well into his 50s. With their melody, lyrics by Anwar Maqsood and a signature style that they have never veered from, Strings have become a listening habit in Pakistan. And they've penetrated so deep into our consciousness that they're not going anywhere.

If Ali Azmat is about radical experimentation and newcomer Atif is all about hype, Strings are all about consistency and a mellow attitude that they have made uniquely their own. They are not about 'Garaj Baras' and are definitely not scratching their heads and wondering 'Hum Kis Gali Jaa Rahe Hain'? Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood are self assured, co-pilots of the enterprise that is the Strings and they're cruising along hitting all the right notes and that too all over the sub-continent!

Rahat has an ability to breathe life into any song. At Rohail Hyatt's pet colossal music project that was Coke Studio, Rahat Fateh Ali was one of the high point… in fact the highest point. Whether it is a classical raag or giving a new spin to Ali Azmat's 'Garaj Baras', Rahat made that night his own.

Angelina Jolie meets Pakistan flood victims:-

Pakistan's devastating floods have left 10 million people without shelter, the United Nations said Tuesday, as authorities rushed to bolster river defenses to save two towns from catastrophe.

Human unconscious is transferred to virtual characters.

Virtual characters can behave according to actions carried out unconsciously by humans. Researchers at the University of Barcelona have created a system which measures human physiological parameters, such as respiration or heart rate, and introduces them into computer designed characters in real time.

Can Your Computer Keep a Secret 'Data Protection Methods are NOT Created Equal, we discussed the pros and cons of each of these options and showed their relative level of security, with encryption being the most secure approach by far. In the second article, Can Your Computer Keep a Secret" Software Solutions for Encrypting Data at Rest, we focused on encryption, and took a close look at using software to encrypt the data on your hard disk. In this article, we will focus on a hardware approach for encrypting your data at rest. Specifically, we are going to look at the new breed of encrypting hard drives. We will discuss the features and benefits of this next generation solution, and show why this hardware based approach to encryption is so effective.

This artist's conception shows an extremely volcanic moon orbiting a gas giant planet in another star system. New research suggests that astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope could potentially detect volcanic activity on a distant Earth-sized planet by measuring volcanic gases in its atmosphere.

Volcanoes display the awesome power of Nature like few other events. Earlier this year, ash from an Icelandic volcano disrupted air travel throughout much of northern Europe. Yet this recent eruption pales next to the fury of Jupiter's moon the most volcanic body in our solar system.

Increasingly erratic rainfall patterns related to climate change pose a major threat to food security and economic growth, water experts said on Monday, arguing for greater investment in water storage.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with the University of Bayreuth in Germany and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford, have developed a water-based adhesive that can be turned on and off. The glue, which can lose and regain its stickiness at different pH levels, could have huge implications for administering drugs in the body.

(Oct. 16, 2007) — Glue is the latest product to go green. Researchers at Oregon State University developed a new, environmentally friendly adhesive made with renewable natural resources. The glue, which replaces current adhesives that release cancer-causing chemicals into the air, will improve the environment and human health, as well as provide new markets for U.S. soybean farmers.

ONDON, Aug. 27, 2010 (Reuters) — Scientists have cracked and published almost all of the highly complex genetic code of wheat -- a staple food for more than a third of the world's people -- and say breeders can now use their findings to improve yields.

Chemists combined an exotic form of an amino acid -- used by mussels to stick to rocks -- with soy flour to make a new, high-strength adhesive. The new glue helps in manufacturing natural-looking plywood without cancer-causing chemicals such as formaldehyde

A brain-scanning study at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, conducted with collaborators from Stony Brook University, reveals that an oral dose of methylphenidate, commonly known as Ritalin, improves impaired brain function and enhances cognitive performance in people who are addicted to cocaine.
