Short-Circuit Biasing of Transistors by Charles Douglas Wehner
When a fundamental law of nature is revealed, the best inventions arise.
Here, the author heard of a mysterious unexplained oscillation in silicon bipolar transistors, and upon investigating discovered that it related to the band-gap energy of silicon.
With the phenomenon fully explained, it became possible to design electronic circuits of exquisite simplicity, reliability and ... continue
The REAL ANTIGRAVITY and RELATIVITY by Charles Douglas Wehner
Astrodynamics delivers conundra of astronomical proportions. The sheer size of the Universe, its mass and the velocities of bodies stretch the imagination to the limit.
It is little-known that Einstein did NOT receive the Nobel Prize for relativity. He had ALREADY received the 1921 prize in 1922 for PHOTOELECTRICS. Yet even a distinguished scholar like Einstein can be snubbed when t ... continue
Eugenics and the Future of the Human Species by Sam Vaknin
`It is clear that modern medicine has created a serious dilemma ... In the past, there were many children who never survived - they succumbed to various diseases ... But in a sense modern medicine has put natural selection out of commission. Something that has helped one individual over a serious illness can in the long run contribute to weakening the resistance of the whole human race to c ... continue
Harry Potter and the Moons of Jupiter by K.A.Cassimally
It is in the latest Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, that readers get the confirmation that the ?Boy who lived? is indeed interested in a science that even some Muggles are good at: Astronomy, the study of celestial objects, of space and of the physical universe as a whole. Maybe the awful Dursleys did do some good things with Harry when they let the wizard, wh ... continue
Asteroid Attack by K.A.Cassimally
Earth, ?our mother planet?, is being attacked everyday by about 25 tons of dust and sand-sized particles. An asteroid, the size of a small car, hits Earth?s atmosphere about once in every year. `All flows, all changes`. I bet you haven?t ever wondered about pollution of space. Yes, man started polluting space ever since Yuri Gangarin (first man in space) saw Earth in its entirety. I always start my column with a question. So why break away with tradition now? Do you know what happens when a drop of water hits a non-absorbent surface? Yeah you?re right (if you don?t have the answer, please re-read the title of this column), the drop bounces upwards. Dear Colleague! Mathematicians can be pig-headed. Sometimes there are problems that admit of no solution, but the mathematician ignores common sense and presses on regardless. History Helped Shape The Future of Remote Viewing. The world of physics is a strange world indeed. Our Bodies, Our Fears Many scientists are currently exploring the idea of going to live on Mars. Mars is the nearest planet to Earth and scientists actually think that the red planet resembled our Earth some million years ago. Some other scientists from the NASA Ames Center have already started the creation of a ?Mars town? and many others are in fact already experimenting it. Of course, these experiments are do ... continue
Experiments have shown that human physiology becomes very weak in an unknown environment to the brain. Humans then start to panic. Problem is that humans do not necessarily want to show their uncertainty. So they hide it. When they actually hide this uncertainty, humans start to get stressed and this is the big problem. The process of making an unearthly world more earth-like for the purpose of supporting human life is called teraforming - Steven Wintergerst. The sun, that celestial body which has always fascinated the human species, which differentiates night and day, which when angry, produces the fascinating auroras, is father to us all: humans, animals and plants. The sun is the father of life on Earth! But similarly to giving life, it will also take it away. This will be life?s doomsday. No way can we escape from this if we stay put.
Fortunately she knows how to defend herself. When that small car-sized asteroid enters her atmosphere, she burns the asteroid up before the latter touches her surface. So no damage is done.
Chromatography - Hayrapetyan`s Effect by Aram Hayrapetyan
`It was not so difficult to invent a new basic technology of Chromatography - Chromabarography; it is rather difficult to wait for its wide practical use for the development of science in the benefit of mankind!`
Aram Hayrapetyan
There are the best chromatographs in the world, the most modern technological elaborations, but there is not the one, which provides the maximum ef ... continue
Chromatography a Superiority Formula by Aram Hayrapetyan
Heraclides
`It`s not difficult to know, it is difficult to get familiar`.
Skovoroda
The theory of gas chromatography, presented by the equation of Van Deemter,
(1)
shows that for each chromatographic separation there exists an optimal flow rate above and below which the column efficiency is reduced.
In practice, the linear ... continue
Space Pollution by K.A.Cassimally
Earth is not only orbited by satellites but also by paint particles, pieces of glass and even apparatus used by astronauts in the past. These may be small (that?s what we think ? I mean maybe there?re not) but note that if ... continue
Walls can cool themselves! by K.A.Cassimally
Would you believe that walls can cool themselves when they get hot? (Actually that?s 2 questions at the beginning of this column!) Many of you, if not all of you will answer a simple and flat, ?NO?. I would have said so too until I read it with my own eyes (I didn?t actually see these walls with my own ey ... continue
A spring called: Drop of water by K.A.Cassimally
A French scientific team from the Collēge de France have studied the scene carefully with a camera that took 40000 images per second. Here are the results:
At first, when it hits the su ... continue
Chromatography: a glance from XXI century by Aram Hayrapetyan
Efficiency.
I am sure it interests You - especially in attaining a maximum efficiency of the chromatographic column in use. It should be acknowledged that not all has been done yet in this field of chromatography. That`s why the proposed technology has a high significance.
Thus a new basis has been opened from which the whole philosophy of the theory of Chro ... continue
Nature Will Not Imagine by Charles Douglas Wehner
One such question would be `WHERE, ON A UNIT CIRCLE, IS A POINT FIVE UNITS TO THE RIGHT FROM THE CENTRE`?
Pythagoras gave an answer. The hypotenuse is a unit, so you square it. The square is still a unit. Now you look a ... continue
History Helped Shape The Future of Remote Viewing. by Jonina Dourif
The public perception of Remote Viewing should not be dictated by opportunistic story tellers but the history needs to be recorded by the factual events and the actual people. It all began between the years of 1982 and 1983 while a prominent psychic who was working with a world-renowned physicist realized a breakthrough discovery in ... continue
The Colour of Electrons and the CCD by Charles Douglas Wehner
At the end of the nineteenth century it was found that a negatively charged metal plate would discharge when illuminated, but a positively charged one would not.
Then it was found by some researchers that NO metal plate would discharge.
Other researchers found that red light had no effect, but blue discharged the plate.
Our Bodies, Our Fears by Ransy Reynis
I think this is worth reading it.
As they reach for the duct tape, Americans say they?re more anxious than ever. Scientific research about how our brains and bodies process fear can teach us how to live with long-term stress

Straddling the Science/Magic Line: A Look At Magnetic Therapy by Maya Talisman Frost
What`s the difference between science and magic? It`s our understanding of what makes something happen.
If magic is hocus-pocus, science is simply well understood hocus-pocus. Fire? Solar eclipse? Volcanic eruption? Earthquake? Once we can explain it, it becomes science. But sometimes we`re stuck straddling that science/magic line.
Consider magnets.
Remember when ... continue
