A team of researchers has found a way of generating electricity literally out of thin air that they are calling “Air-gen”, a device that not only requires no rare or toxic chemicals to run, but instead runs on the ambient humidity that typically lingers in the air. The Air-gen deviceread more

There is an unassuming village in the South-East of England that may have played host to one of the most intriguing potential alien visitations ever recorded.

Woolpit, in Suffolk, is the setting for an ancient legend dating back to the 12th century, which describes an encounter with two strange beings known as "The Green Children of Woolpit."

Scientists once told us that you can’t change your family, the genes they pass on, or the effect of these genes. Now an international team of scientists is attacking that belief. They discovered that the gene that is the strongest marker for heart disease can actually be modified by generous amounts of fruit and raw vegetables. Researcher Jamie Engert says, "We know that some genetic variants increase the risk of heart disease, but it was a surprise to find that a healthy diet could significantly weaken its effect.”

We once put up a story about fluorescent fried chicken and the late materials scientist Bill Mallow told us that certain bacteria can cause skin to glow under “black light,” which is light that is almost exclusively in the soft near ultraviolet range, given off from a special lamp that provides very little visible light. UFO researcher Dr. Roger Leir says that many abductees with implants have skin that glows under this kind of light. Now scientists have not only managed to breed baby rats from momma mice (by in vitro fertilization), but they also produced an unexpected benefit: the baby rats produced this way glow green!
