The fossils were found at a site known as geologic Formations in Hell Creek land barren in Southeast Montana, United States (U.S.), where it had previously been a lot of dinosaur fossils found in the other.

Something that makes it interesting that these fossil discoveries is only 13 cm under layers of rocks. This is the most superficial fossil discoveries in history the fossilised search digs up to tens of meters take, let alone this is dinosaur fossils.

This indicates to us that the last dinosaurs vanish from Earth's civilization. While scientists believed it when a dinosaur then disappeared quickly after the existence of a global catastrophe strikes the asteroid rock to the Earth in those days.

"This discovery gives some evidence that dinosaurs did not die slowly before the meteor hit," says Dr. Tyler Lyson, from Yale University in New Haven.

"Since the presence of such internet search engines, so we changed the way of considering things," said Betsy Sparrow, a psychologist from Columbia University.

"Dependence of our brains with the internet for the current memory, just the magnitude of how the brain dependency in memory will be your friends and family," he added.

In addition, the study also revealed that way considering today's society is a place where they store information, rather than the content of the information itself.

The results of this research into a paper titled ' Google Effects on Memory: Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips ' is a summary of the four tests to the students of Harvard University and Columbia University. The study also published in the journal Science online.

"Mosquitoes are more interested in dirty feet smell of humans who were sleeping in the same place," says Dr. Fredros Okumu, from the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania.

"We have two home experiments, at the first House in it there is a man who was sleeping and on a second home there are also human beings who are sleeping with the synthesis of odor on the socks. We realize that we get four times more mosquitoes get into a House that contain the synthesis. Later, when sprayed with insecticides all mosquitoes die, "explains Okumu.

"When a mosquito crossed complexes, they sense something that they thought it was a human being. They try biting people or devices around him, instead of the blood that they get it they instead were killed, "bright Okumu, as reported by the Straits Times, Thursday (2/7/2011).

For the discovery of this Dr Fredros Okumu prizes of USD 775 thousand from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the NGO Canada and tried his invention to be applied in a number of villages in Tanzania to measure its effect on public health.

NASA Launches Gas Station Robot

This time NASA was experimenting with robotic missions that will experiment provides refueling and small improvements for the spacecraft to be placed in orbit.

By using petrol robot, later the astronauts will not be required to make all improvements and this will save you expenses, and may extend the time the spacecraft stayed in orbit. Charging Robotic missions (RRM) satellite was launched into space by putting it in the plane of Atlantis, the Council on Tuesday, the Atlantis will build the satellite for the International Space Station in the RRM (ISS) during their program in space takes place.

RRM will be a trial to a petrol station attendant extraordinary named Dextre. Dextre is a twin-armed robot that was on the space station which will be responsible for fueling and completed a small improvement on the RRM.
The main challenge is facing mounting which spacewalkers RRM to the space station with the help of Dextre, the Manipulator has a special purpose and skilled. The Robot will help astronauts installed the RRM to his regular location used to be before work.

Once in place, Dextre will undergo a series of tests, such as refueling aircraft. Dextre is controlled by a human operator which is located on earth that should cut the cable, secure, and other complicated tasks prior to the filling station.

If the RRM can indeed fueling the space shuttle and finishing improvements, it's not just hit lower costs but also allows for space travel in the long run. In addition, the RRM and Dextre will be able to repair many different types of satellites, something previously not possible.

"We anticipate that, making it possible in future missions and capabilities, to the international space community," said Benjamin Reed, NASA Satellite Servicing Capabilities Officer.

"We will make such data available to everyone. That is, all the commercial industry would probably start their own businesses there, "says Frank Cepollina, RRM project manager in the Office Satellite Servicing Capabilities.

Passive Smokers Children Have Behaviour Problems

One other factor to consider is that children are exposed to cigarette smoke often associated with an increased risk of learning problems and behaviour.

The study was based on a new idea in the world of astronomy, which mentions that life exists only in designated areas in certain regions of the Milky Way Galaxy. The crux of this theory, mentioning that the possibilities of every life are different, if it is located near the Galactic Center as well as outside the Galactic Center. Zones in the Milky Way galaxy that could support life are located about 30 light years from the Galactic core.

Michael Gowanlock, experts from the University of Hawaii, said that the Galactic habitable zone that life is more complex than the predicted.

"We estimate that around 1.2 percent of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy to support life," wrote Gowanlock in arXiv online journal.

In addition, the experts would also add that the supernova explosion, which was previously believed to be able to annihilate life on another planet, if it happens on the inside of the Galaxy, as it turns out the remnants of his legacy is capable of supporting life is more complex, by forming the planets with the ideal distance
