There’s a whole cottage industry that tackles the ‘science’ behind the Bible, but one of the major tales in the Old Testament isn’t just told by the Biblical authors and that’s the story of Noah’s Ark. This week we will take a look at some new research that sheds some light on some historical events that support the flood story that is prevalent in so many cultures around the world. From there, we will move on to; Taking the Pulse of the South Pole, Protecting Copper, find out Just What you have been Drinking, and Getting too much Energy. We will wind up this week science smorgosborg with Smokin Joe and the Chrome Dome. Welcome Aboard! MORE>>

Good Vibrations! December 12 , 2007: Good Vibrations and Other Science Topics

We’ll start this week’s excursion into the wonderful world of science with a little archeology. Then, make way for the real nanopod and make room in the Guinness World Records for the smallest radio ever made. From there we will look at compounds in cranberries change E. coli bacteria, (responsible for a host of human illnesses from kidney infections to gastroenteritis to tooth decay), in ways that render them unable to initiate an infection, and finally, researchers at The University of Manchester in England have developed high-tech battery-powered textile yarns that can be used to make clothing glow in the dark. MORE>>

The Sunrise balloon.  Slender hoses, blown into arcs by the wind, partially fill the balloon with helium before launch.  A large portion of the balloon is left unfilled so it can expand as it ascends into the stratosphere, where air pressure is considerably lower.

The first one is an update on something that isn’t nearly as cool as it should be.  Then, a balloon that takes pictures of the sun from 120,000 feet. a little food news and a really bizarre detour from the realms of science into the wonderful world of high fashion.
