Ben geïnfecteerd met het Moderna-vaccin. Lang leve de wetenschap!

Bij de tweede prik krijg ik deze tors er bij hoop ik.

Hoe rijker je geheugen hoe beter je een toekomst kan voorstellen en vormgeven

Kunnen we vanuit die simpele wetenschap onze huidige denken over onderwijs (en de vormen ervan) nog verantwoorden? Natuurlijk niet. […]

Met wat nagellak, haarextensie lijm, stukje wetsuite en een zonnepaneel schildpadden wereldwijd volgen

Wat schildpadden allemaal uitvoeren in de onmetelijke zeeën was (en is) tot op heden nog een groot mysterie.

Gratis geld helpt!

We gaan er eigenlijk altijd van uit dat als we mensen geld geven zonder voorwaarden eraan te verbinden dat het helemaal verkeerd gaat.

A map of the early universe

Best ever map of the early universe revealed

Stephen Battersby – March 17th 2006 – link

On Thursday, the WMAP team revealed the best map ever drawn of microwaves from the early universe, showing variations in the brightness of radiation from primordial matter. The pattern of these variations fits the predictions of a physical theory called inflation, which suggests that during the first split second of existence the universe expanded incredibly fast

Amazing what we are capable of detecting, extrapolating and form theories and create hypothesises about.

Genesaver, human cell holding (his) hands

In a paper called “The coiled-coil of the human Rad50 DNA repair protein contains specific segments of increased flexibility” by the Department of Nanoscience and Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicrontechnology, had this image in it and it sparkes my imagination on a tiny scale. Quote out of the paper for this image: Two sections

Nanoglue Stickier Than Gecko Toes, fantasy going strong

Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Akron have used their knowledge of what makes geckos stick to create a carpet of super-sticky carbon nanotubes that could form the basis for future types of adhesives. Wired News article reports.It’s not a new story that Gecko’s have special feet and that science is interested

Powers of Ten

Philip Morrison died Friday, April 22, at home, at the age of 89. A man that had a great influence on life as we know it. Being one of the men that made the Atomic Bomb (became a strong opposed of nuclear weapons after he visited Hiroshima). Morrison was widely known for his research and

Large Hadron Collider magnets at CERN

This is the first of the 1232 dipole magnets for the future collider, which measures 27 km in circumference and is scheduled to be commissioned in 2007. The date was thus a key one for CERN1 since the delivery of the 15 metre long dipole magnet weighing 35 tonnes to its final location marks the

NASA’s Cassini – Huygens mission

Always been an fan of SF. And on June 30 we have yet another moment in history. After a nearly seven-year voyage from Earth, the Cassini spacecraft is fast approaching the moment that scientists have dreamed of and planned for over the better part of their careers. It will fly close to Saturn 76 times

Spin-offs of the space-program

Gravity stimulates our motivation to undertake. There are bacteria that can transform sugar into energy. These sugars are made by plants. A new cycle is made. The cycle of energy. Wubbo Okkels (first Dutchman into space 18 years ago) Today the second dutch astronaut went into space. 9 days of space x years of training.
