Lambard street,San Fransisco

Lambard street is an east- west street in San Fransisco, California.It is famous for having a steep one block section that consits of eight tight hair pin turns.The street was named after Lambard street in philadhelphia by San Fransisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell.

Neuronal dendride is capable of performing computations individually

                                     There are an estimated 100 billions neurons in brain,and there could be as many as one billion dendrites to connect them and facillitate communications.Each neuron can be connected to as many as 1000 other neurons.While it was previosly believed that dendrites merely pass the information along ,a new study has shown that the electrical signals associated with processing visual information can be found in dendrites themselves.

Nasa's ladee spacecraft

                                      Pulsed laser beams sent  data 23,9000 miles(384,633kilometers)back to earth's surface at a rate of 622 megabites per second.For comparision,4G,LTE downloads run about 10-17 megabites per seconds.

Smartphone can be used as a digital microscope capable of 175 times magnification

It only takes around 30 minutes to assemble the hardware store materials into a microscope stands for a smartphone.This could be a viable alternative for science teacher who don't have the resources to buy microscope for the classroom.

Scientists have found that bees underwent massive exictintion at the same time as land dinosaurs.

                                         Scientists have documented a widespread exictintion in bee group xylocopinae(carenpenters bees)that occurs 65 million years ago, at the same time as event that caused exictintion of land dinosaurs and many flowering plants.Understanding many past bee exictintion will hopefully shed some on the current decline in bees exictintion.

How tonic water fluoresces under UV lights

It contains quinine,which has a high fluorescent quantum yield."Quantum yield"measures how efficiently absorved light creates an optical effect.In fact,it has such a high yield it will even glow under regular sunlight.A substance such as quinine becomes fluorescent when absorbed lights photons realesed photons of another wavelength.When the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range and the triggered emission is in the visible spectrum,a substance will glow under black light.

Cleaning fruits make it chemical free.

Fill with water,add one cup of vinegar,and stir,add a fruit,and soak for 10 minutes.Water will be dirty and fruit will be sparkle with no wax,or dirty film.Great for barriers too as it keeps them for molding.Do this with strawberries,and they last for weeks!
