Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered a metal alloy that actually allows magnets to cool down a fridge than just hold up pictures on the fridge.
“When this alloy is placed in a magnetic field, it gets colder. Karl Sandeman and his co-workers think that their material – a blend of cobalt, manganese, silicon and germanium – could help to usher in a new type of refrigerator that is up to 40 percent more energy-efficient than conventional models.”

“Hi. I’ve started a pledge on PledgeBank.com that aims to raise enough money to replace one intrusive advert with a though-provoking message or work of art. Rather than gawk at the same old advertising every morning, we hope at least some commuters will enjoy a little mental stimulation other than their morning coffee.”
That’s right Austin wants you to pledge money that you want something to that makes you think, opposed to obnoxious advertising. For more information on this groovy idea check out Art Not Ads
The do-it-yourself renewable energy website, gotwind.org, has launched a competition to make a cheap, and effective wind turbine.
” You are required to design, but not necessarily build a workable wind generator that produces a good useable amount of electricity.”
The rules are simple and the impact of this competition can be huge. Give it a shot!
A new study by the researchers at Chigago University has shown that sex is considered more satisfying in countries where men and women share more equality. Austria has the highest rates of sexual satisfaction among countries worldwide. Canada, Spain, Belgium and the United States also reported very high rates of enjoyment within peoples sex lives. Japan ranked the lowest with only 25.7% of folks reporting a good quality of romantic pleasure.
These kinds of studies can really help you to appreciate living in a country where men and womens rights are shared.
ohhhhh CANADA! OOOOOHHHHHH OH YES!YES!YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Australia has a policy that restricts the use of antibiotics used for food animals, and as a result people in Australia are healthier according to a new study.
“An Australian solution to the drug resistance problem has been to prohibit the use of certain antibiotics, called fluoroquinolones, in food animals such as poultry. Such a policy puts Australia in a relatively unique position, since its animal and food production levels are comparable to those of other industrialized nations, but it has avoided using the antibiotics that have been standard in the other countries’ food animal production.”
Hopefully other countries will catch on to this to help people live healthier lives.
