Guys, did you know? Rats giggle whenever they are tickled. This study confirms that rats giggle when they are tickled, however their voice is high pitched which requires a certain device to hear it. How do you know the rats giggle from the voice they made? Well, we can look at their behaviour, after the scientist finished tickling, the rats were chasing the hands afterward instead of running away from it.
You probably have seen it in your chemistry lab experiment during your high school. But if you haven’t know this, burning mercury(II) thiocyanate will produce a decomposition reaction which looks like you are summoning a snake out of fire. It’s a pretty neat effect.
You probably seen this one before in your science book but probably you don’t have a clue what it is. This shark is called Helicoprion, a shark that has a set of teeth forming something like a pizza slicer.
It’s been a rather old news but I want to celebrate a great achievement that science has broken through. A doctor in John Hopkins University has confirmed to successfully removed HIV virus from a baby infected by it. Salute to the doctors and a great achievement has been marked in the human history.
The recent sinkhole that hits Schmalkalden, Germany on November 2010 has put an interest in me. Take a look as how science explains how sinkholes are formed. It’s a very fascinating natural phenomenon to see.
One of Indonesian students in Germany has been involved in the construction of a Light Following Robot. That particular guy called Bawono Langgeng who happened to be my friend. This robot is mounted with two sensors, left and right, to detect the presence of an incoming light. Once the robot has determined the position of the light, it will move towards it until it is close enough to the light. If you are wondering what he looks like, he is the person on the furthest right at the end of the clip.
A very cool time lapse video about a drop of ink. You can see when an ink drops into a clear water they behave like fluid with high viscocity, unable to mix which makes it a spectacle to watch.
Time for me to put my two cents into this Playstation 3 game, Resident Evil 6. I have played this game and I’m cureently in the story of Jake and Sherry. So far, it’s not been a disappointing experience. My nerdgasm is fulfilled by the inclusion of Sherry Birkin and Ada Wong to the game and to be honest, I can’t wait to get my hands on Ada Wong. She is so mysterious and you probably perceived her as the anti-hero of this Resident Evil 6 game. Anyway, let’s elaborate how this game perform.
1. Story
The story of Resident Evil 6 comes in 4 different kind of flavours: Leon S. Kennedy Arc, Chris Redfield Arc, Jake Muller Arc, and Ada Wong Arc. All these stories will eventually merged with one another, giving you the feeling of “Ah, so that’s how it happens”. Also, there is some kind of subtle relationships between the characters such as Leon’s unresolved romantic relationship with Ada Wong or the gentleman with daddy issue which is Jake Muller. Ada Wong is brilliantly put as an anti-hero and that role fits her perfectly. I think that what this game looks very interesting. There are so much conflicts that spice u the story of the game.
2. Challenge
Playing Resident Evil 6 offers not much of a puzzle. The place is very straightforward with limited riddles to be solved. Probably, you will find yourself out of bullets while fighting a horde of zombies. I haven’t played the No Hope difficulty but probably that’s not a very wise idea. It still employ the same infinite slots of weapons so you can pick your weapon of choice ranging from guns, shotguns, rifle, sniper rifle, and grenade launcher. Zombies also dropped bullets if they were killed but it’s kinda logical since they are carrying weapons as well.
3. Controls
Resident Evil 6 has improved in terms of controls. You can quickly change weapons with the control of your joysticks and every character has his own weapon inventory theme (You’ll get what I mean if you played the game). Every character also have his sets of combo to kill zombies and he also have a unique combat characteristic. For Example, Sherry has a decent agility in her combo making her a swift brawler while Jake Muller has a power house combo to take down zombies easily.
4. Cinematography
Resident Evil 6 offers stunning graphic with a lot of action pack and bloody scenes. You will not get bored whenever you play the “Run for your life” stage. You will be kept engaged by the development of the story while in the same time, enjoy a gorgeous real-life animation.
Japan has again astonish me with their series of interesting research. This time, an optical camouflage system is installed in a car to assist the driver looking through what’s behind the car.
After Earth has taken its course of evolution, it’s time for the creatures who resided take their course of evolution as well. From primordial soup, dinosaurs, to advanced erected mammals, take a look how evolution has brought us until this day.
If nature has taught us one thing, it is that the only constant is the change. It is time we view the Earth as an indivisible organic whole, a living entity composed of countless forms of life, all brought together in a single symbiotic community.
I’m bringing a new segment for this website that specialized in humans’ achievements in discovery or invention. Perhaps I have done this kind of post before but with no name tag to brand the category. Therefore, I announce a segment called “Achievement Unlock” to indicate the marvelous discovery or invention that human made that will blow your mind. First up for this segment, is the 5th August 2012 achievement of a Mars rover called Curiosity in landing on Mars. Take a look at the sophisticated landing technique of this vehicle, to ensure the success of the Mars landing mission.
If you are to question “What is the largest bony fish in the earth?”, you might probably think it’s the blue whale. Well, I would say then you are an idiot, because blue whale is not a fish, hahaha. Anyway, the largest fish is the ocean sunfish. When an ocean sunfish are born, they can be less than an inch. But give it a time and they could grow until 14-feet.
This is a project done by the Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz GmbH (DFKI) that I involved in. The project basically revolves around the development of an automotive navigation system. This automative navigation system has a couple of enhanced features.
The Route calculation features the calculation of the shortest route to arrive at a designated destination. Not much of comment about this feature since it is a basic feature of an automotive navigation system. It also features a text-to-speech synthesizer for notifying the direction to go. Again, not much comment about this basic feature.
What’s interesting about this Automotive Navigation System is that it is equipped with a Street Foresighting System. This feature uses a similar network topology of peer-to-peer which in this case the car that is equipped with the navigation system can broadcast traffic information to other cars. This Street Foresighting System reports traffic congestion status and the system can intelligently redirect any route that is observed to have slow traffic rate.
Not only that, this navigation system is also equipped with obstacle reporting system which is observed by a camera installed in the car. Obstacle such as a broken down vehicle or a road construction can be reported to other cars to avoid any potential accidents to occur.
The system is currently under test and the interaction between the user and the system is temporarily used with a keyboard and mouse.
This is a rare event where we could get a massive amount of Rays gathering around the ocean. Not only that, They are acting similar with dolphins by jumping out of the ocean which to me is very fascinating to watch.
We are currently in need for money to upgrade our space quota so we can deliver you more wallpaper packs and dektop goodies. Please consider to donate. Your donation will make you an honorary member of TRT and you shall be given a large portion of priority when it comes to request.
