Just a Short Note

Just wanted to share what I've been reading lately and might be interesting for you too :

Edward Boyden, assistant professor in the MIT Media Lab, uses pulses of yellow light to to reversibly silence brain cells, which could block abnormal neuron activity associated with diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson's. Hopefully this is a good sign for non-surgical treatment.

Researchers from Institut de recherche pour le Développement reported that the Himalayan glaciers are melting under the effect of global warming. Here is the report in PDF format.

Molecular oxygen has finally been discovered in interstellar space according to Swedish Space Corporation.

And last but surely not least, I just found a great site about A Review of the Universe - Structures, Evolutions, Observations, and Theories.

Okay guys, that's is for now. See ya!
