Russell Alan Hulse and Joseph Hooton Taylor Jr. were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1993 for their observations of a remarkable binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16. According to general relativity, this system should emit gravitational radiation which carries off energy at a specific rate, which should in turn cause the orbit to decay at a rate of roughly 7 mm per day. This prediction agrees with the observations of Hulse and Taylor. But to directly detect gravitational waves you would have to look for any motion they cause. Typic ...

Scientists are eager to directly measure gravitational waves from astronomical sources, as they can probe phenomena that are difficult or impossible to study with electromagnetic radiation. For instance, although a black hole emits no visible radiation in the way that a regular star does, gravitational waves can be emitted when an object falls into a black hole, or when two black holes collide. If the inspiraling mass is significantly smaller than the central black hole, the emitted gravitational waves may, at least in some circumstances, al ...

Phazon has been known to resemble a lava-like liquid. There are two types: the "regular," less-potent Blue Phazon, and the highly radioactive and deadly orange/red Phazon. Phazon also has two consistencies: the first is a sticky, gel-like substance (possibly even a solid) that tends to emit electric charges that arc along its surface, or from its surface to an object in the substance. This type also tends to be brighter than the second. The second consistency of Phazon is known to be a less sticky substance that acts more like a complete liquid, with no visible electric charges. (Blue ...

Growing axons move through their environment via the growth cone, which is at the tip of the axon. The growth cone has a broad sheet like extension called lamellipodia which contain protrusions called filopodia. The filopodia are the mechanism by which the the entire process adheres to surfaces and explores the surrounding environment. Actin plays a major role in the mobility of this system. Environments with high levels of cell adhesion molecules or CAM's create an ideal environment for axonal growth. This seems to provide a "sticky" ...

It uses its long proboscis to inject a lethal toxin that liquefies the insides of its prey. It then sucks out the liquefied remains. The legs of these bugs are covered in tiny hairs that serve to make them sticky to hold onto their prey while it feeds. The venom is effective for even larger insects. Some species are also able to spit their venom at the eyes of predators from up to a foot away. They have been known to feed on cockroaches and are regarded in many locations as beneficial. Some people bree ...

Resin as produced by most plants is a viscous liquid, typically composed mainly of volatile fluid terpenes, with lesser components of dissolved non-volatile solids which make resin viscous and sticky. The most common terpenes in resin are the bicyclic terpenes alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, delta-3 carene and sabinene, the monocyclic terpenes limonene and terpinolene, and smaller amounts of the tricyclic sesquiterpenes longifolene, caryophyllene and delta-cadinene. The individual components of resin can be separated by fractional distillation. Some resins cont ...

One effect of small steady inflation is that it is difficult to renegotiate some prices, and particularly wages and contracts, downwards, so that with generally increasing prices it is easier for relative prices to adjust. Many prices are "sticky downward" and tend to creep upward, so that efforts to attain a zero inflation rate (a constant price level) punish other sectors with falling prices, profits, and employment. Thus, some business executives see mild inflation as "greasing the wheels of commerce". Efforts to attain complete price sta ...

Kudzu - Culinary. The starchy roots are ground into a fine powder and used for varieties of Wagashi and herbal medicines. When added to water and heated, kudzu powder becomes clear and adds stickiness to the food. The name Kudzu appeared first in Kojiki and Nihonshoki as a type of vine or Kazura (葛 or 蔓) used commonly by the people who lived in Kudzu (国栖), area around present-day Yoshino, Nara prefecture. It is unclear whether the name was taken from the people or the name of the plant was applied to the ...

In a gasoline or diesel engine, the pistons ride up and down within the engine cylinder. Under certain circumstances, the high heat created by the friction of the pistons and their sealing rings can cause the motor oil to convert into a hard, slick, sticky substance. Once this happens, the engine cannot run at its optimum. In order to correct the conditions, a mechanic can take the engine apart, and deglaze the cylinders, usually using an abrasive. This allows the pistons and their rings to make contact with the cylinder wall agai ...

Skunks are nocturnal. They are best-known for their ability to spray a foul-smelling and sticky fluid as a defense against predators; this secretion comes from the anal scent glands. The odor of the fluid is strong enough to ward off bears and other potential attackers. The odor can be difficult to remove from a human's clothing. Skunks are solitary animals when not breeding, but may gather together to keep warm in communal dens in the coldest part of their range. During the day they shelter in burrows that they dig with their powerfu ...

Restriction enzymes are used to excise the gene of interest (the insert) from the parent. The insert is purified in order to isolate it from background junk. A common purification method is gel isolation. The number of copies of the gene is then amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Simultaneously, the same restriction enzymes are used to digest (cut) the destination. The idea behind using the same restriction enzymes is to create complementary sticky ends, which will facilitate ligation later on. A phosphatase (comm ...

"Remember Me" is partnership with RBX and Sticky Fingaz (of Onyx). The song begins with RBX shouting "Remember Me"; and adding various menacing statements, ending with "I drop bombs like Hiroshima", and then the sound of an explosion. It begins with RBX on the first verse, followed by Sticky Fingaz and then Eminem. The first two verses are stream-of-consciousness and semi-coherent, with rapid-fire rhymes like: "Better come better than better to be a competitor/This vet is ahead of/The shit is all redder, you deader and deader/A medic ...

All adult frogs are carnivores, and usually eat invertebrates such as: insects, worms and spiders. However, a few of the larger species may eat larger prey, such as small mammals, fish and smaller frogs. Some frogs use their sticky tongues effectively in catching fast-moving prey, while others capture their prey, and force it into their mouth with their hands. Most tadpoles are herbivores, eating moss, or filtering small plant particles through their gills. During the process of metamorphosis, their intestine will shorten to accommodate a carnivorous diet. Some species of frogs are carnivorous at the tadpole stage, and wi ...

To harvest opium, the skin of the ripening pods is scored by a sharp blade. The slashes exude a white, milky latex, which dries to a sticky brown resin that is scraped off the pods as raw opium. Opium has powerful narcotic properties, and is used as a painkiller in extreme circumstances, such as in terminal stages of cancer. Therefore, a small amount of legal production is discreetly conducted under strict supervision by law enforcement. The leading legal producers of opium are France and Australia. The French company Francopia produces 20% to 25% of the world's total, with total sales of approximately 60 million ...
