In 300,000 tests, the six baboons distinguished between real and fake words about three-out-of-four times, according to the study published in Thursday’s journal Science. In finding the letters in words and the relations between these letters – they are capitalising on a pre-existing ability to identify everyday objects, which we share with non-human primates. Man [...]

If We aren’t Here We are There In quantum physics no two fermions may occupy the same quantum state. A little background information may be needed here. An atom has three types of particles protons,electrons and neutrons. The exclusion principle by Pauli will assign electrons under heightened energy states exclusion zones. In short electrons cannot [...]

Brain carries on cell to cell communication and for which they depend on specialized neuron nerve cells. These are responsible for communicating information in both chemical and electrical forms. There are also several different types of neurons responsible for different tasks in the human body. The property that makes neurons unique is their ability to [...]

The American Heritage dictionary defines gene pool as thus: The collective genetic information contained within a population of sexually reproducing organisms. In terms of human genetic make up we can understand that experience of our ancestors is passed forward and it is something like a safety-line thrown across passage of time. This support is achieved [...]

We all start out as girls and around six to eight weeks since conception a fetus with XY develop normally into a boy: in order to do that its special cells will direct male hormones in particular testosterone, to other parts of the body to [...]

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider, the 17-mile (27 km) circular particle accelerator underground near Geneva, Switzerland, have been colliding protons at high speeds to create explosions of energy. From this energy many subatomic particles are produced. The seemingly inescapable fact that matter and antimatter particles destroy each other on contact has long puzzled physicists [...]
