Intelligent Alien Races Could Communicate Through Neutrino Beams
	The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI for short, has been surveying transmissions that would hopefully turn out be a sign from ET for the last couple of decades or so, although nobody seems to be calling. Now scientists believe that this may have something to do with the fact that we're only looking at signals in the electromagnetic spectrum, which would not be such a logical approach for a more advanced alien civiliza ...

Antineutrinos to Pose as Alarm Against Plutonium Theft
	During nuclear fission reactions nuclear power plants produce a by-product element known as plutonium, which accumulates on the uranium fuel rods. Plutonium cannot occur naturally on Earth and is extremely important for the fabrication of nuclear bombs because it is used in the detonation mechanism initiating the nuclear fission reaction. Plutonium accumulation of the fuel rods is also extremely hard to track. International Atomic Energ ... [read more >>]

Elementary Particles Come in Flavors
	The Holy Bible describes an event in which Jesus Christ turns water into wine. Personally I would really like to see that one. However it has nothing to do with reality, as we all know water does not spontaneously turn into wine, or vice versa. This principle should also apply to all the elementary particles predicted in the Standard Model. Electrons are part of the leptons family, as are muons and taus and must therefore conserve their so ... [read more >>]

Giant Icecube Used to Detect Neutrinos
	This instrument will be used to detect some of nature's most mysterious subatomic particles, to create a picture of the Earth's dense iron core. It consists of a giant telescope which will be buried in the ice at the South Pole, and is designed to detect neutrinos, that present so little interaction with the normal matter, that they can easily pass through the whole mass of the planet without being severely deflected from their t ...

10 Strangest Things in Space
	This is a review of the top ten strangest things in space that scientists still study and try to formulate, theories that open our imagination to new horizons and new technological possibilities. 1. Antimatter – all the things we know and see are made out of matter and energy. For a long time it was thought that atoms were the smallest particle that formed matter. Until the discovery of the elementary particles. Elementary particles t ... [read more >>]
