Last days were full of science and technology news and so I decided to bring you some that you may not have heard of jet.
In one month the Kansas City, Mo. may become the first place on earth with Google TV service that will include live TV, on-demand and online TV channels. It is expected that Google will offer the service along with internet 100 times faster then the average in area. 
Even though that people have visited the moon in seventies this huge rock orbiting the Earth still remains as the closest space program’s target. Russians are expected to land on the moon in 2020. With about 600 million tons of water on its north pole, along with extraction of oxygen from lunar soil (which contains about 40% oxygen) can foster the plans of establishing the first moon base.
Russians have made us stare with mouths wide open once again this week; they have brought to life a plant from seed found in 30 000 years old sediment. They found it in squirrel burrows that served as natural cryobanks. Today’s version of plant is quite similar, but a little smaller. The fastest wind spotted until this day in the whole universe was blowing about 2 million mph, which itself is enormously awesome speed. But scientists searching black hole spotted a phenomenon that can be compared to the worst case hurricane we have ever seen. This wind blows at speed about 20 million mph. It is still nothing compared to speed of light (671 mil. mph) but still, it holds the universe speed record.
A few days ago, scientists managed to put an atom in a certain place where they intended to. This isn’t the sexiest sentence you have heard today, but even though it means that they can create any structure they want on a smallest level that we can actually work with. This way they may create single atom transistors and possibly quantum computer in very near future. Once they succeed to do so it will be a Moore’s law on steroids (computing speed of computers exponentially higher than anything we know).
Interesting write ups.
