Gallium Nitride could change the world for a whole new generation of miniaturized tech. Gallium Nitride could be the silicon of the future. It is a really good conductor because it makes items like chargers into smaller objects. Electric cars, use only gallium nitride which makes them much more efficient than normal cars.    ]]> 2019-02-14 16:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/zyoji_jackson/qh5yt33o4q15/wish/331382244 Maxx and Damon https://padlet.com/zyoji_jackson/qh5yt33o4q15/wish/331382684 Rare black leopard spotted in Africa for the first time.

A Japanese group, named Happy Science, is a suspicious cult that was founded in 1986. It states that it has over 11 million followers over the world. It has released promotional propaganda about China conspiring with North Korea about taking over the world. The founder is also known as the resurrection of Jesus, Buddha, and even Master Yoda. They have also created multiple anime videos to promote themselves. The Japan Times has said that the cult "smells suspiciously like a cult". Even Uganda has named the group as a cult. They have their own political party named Happy Science. The religion has many ties to Buddhism, but believes in an all powerful God that sounds like an anime name; El Cantare.

robots can walk and climb, but they have now made robots learn how to skate! Professor at the Computational Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich says that the robots skate can behaved on the ice, and that it was free to move in the direction of the blade. They say that all it needs to do now is now where it legs need to be to balanced in order to steer. They think that the robots will one day be used for useful activities!

Some fish-hunting species release venom into the surrounding water. Within the plume of toxic venom, the fish succumbs to fast-acting insulin that renders it immobile. As the fish flounders, the snail emerges from its shell to swallow the pacified victim whole."

Kids have swallowed legos in the past. But don't worry, it's OK! Scientist ate some legos and scanned their poop to see if the legos were there...AND THEY WERE!

Scientists Are ‘Giddy’ Over Their Historic Visit to One of the ‘World’s Youngest Islands’. A volcano erupted and formed a island in 2014 off the coast of Australia. The island was only meant the last a few months. Researchers say the island will probably last for other 30 years. This island gives scientists a rare chance to better understand how theses islands are formed and what leads there dissolution.

A 19 teen year old boy named Aguilar, builds an affordable, and unique prosthetic arms out of LEGOS pieces. Always loving the toy, Aguilar built his first prosthetic arm out of LEGOS when he was just nine years old. He has created many new models over the past ten years, and has made them more durable. His latest model was so sturdy that he was able to do push ups with it. Now he is studying bio engineering at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya in Spain and is hopping to continue with his studies and create more durable and cheap prosthetic arms for many other disabled kids allowing them to have the same experiences that he has had with his new prosthetic arm out of LEGO pieces. ]]> 2019-02-14 17:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zyoji_jackson/qh5yt33o4q15/wish/331412035 Isha & Anna https://padlet.com/zyoji_jackson/qh5yt33o4q15/wish/331412600 Scientists at Illinois university have artificially engineered a leaf that could help with CO2 emissions. Although they have only tested in labs with pressurized carbon dioxide from tanks they plan to bring these artificial leaves into the environment. They are ten times more efficient than normal leaves in the labs. According to their calculations each leaf will be 1.7 meters long and 0.2 meters wide. Apparently if you had 360 of these leaves covering a 500-meter squared area you will be able to reduce the carbon dioxide by 10%.

The pigeonhole principle states that, if three pigeons are roosting in two places, one place must contain at least two birds. But in the quantum realm, scientists had predicted that three “pigeons” — technically, quantum particles — could squeeze into two places without any one particle sharing a place with another. In the study, three photons took the place of the pigeons. Rather than crowding the photons into holes, the researchers studied the polarization of the particles, or the orientation of the photons’ wiggling electromagnetic waves, which can be either horizontal or vertical. Since there were three photons and two polarizations, standard math would suggest that at least two must have had the same polarization. When the scientists compared the particles’ polarizations, the team found that no two particles matched, verifying that the quantum pigeonhole effect is real.

Unfortunately, the lake was under threat from plans to build a soda ash factory at the site. However, in March 2017 the government announced it had abandoned those plans due to the threat they could pose to the flamingos. Plans for the lake are now turning toward ecotourism, which has the potential to both bring in revenue, and keep Lake Natron as the main spot for flamingos for years to come.

First, gaming as a treatment tool. The University of California and San Francisco said that when adults game it help there brain by changing their behaviour and also allows other people to interact with others to help their communication skills. Number 2, gaming as a tool for scientific discovery. We all know when you start a game it is very complicated because you will have to get how to play and learn all the different strategies in order to win. Zoran Popovic a professor of computer science explained that when you play games it helps your brain by problem-solving all the strategies and also learning how to get better. Number 3, Measuring success. When people play games the main objective is to get kills and be the last one standing if you are playing a battle royal game. This helps peoples lives because people will more energetic to play a game and work harder to get there job done.
