Pyrosequencing was once the most efficient way to determine extinct species of marine life however new research from scientists have determined more efficient ways to identify and categorize extinct species of plankton in the Black Sea. A new genetic data record has been unveiled using this process by biologists.

Bacterial communication has been discovered to occur using the transmission of chemical signals which are synthesized in the pyrone synthase (PpyS) and received in the LuxR solo receptor (PluR). Recently Professor Helge Bode and Dr. Ralf Heermann from Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany have discovered that it is possible for both transmission and reception to occur within the LuxR solo receptors of bacterial cells.

The genocide in Cambodia at the hands of the Khmer Rouge occurred in the early 1970’s and is still considered to be one of the most senseless of its kind today. Military intervention from foreign nations was nonexistent until Vietnam stepped in to overthrow the brutal regime of Pol Pot after threats were made towards them.

Particle physicists have confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson particle using tests conducted with the CERN particle accelerator in Switzerland using the Large Hadron Collider. This particle has been speculated about in theoretical physics by the scientific community as having a great influence on the properties of matter.

Silicon nanoparticles are could be used in the latest energy storage technology based on the research being conducted by chemical engineers out of Stanford University. Current application are being developed in lithium-ion batteries for possible commercial manufacturing which have the capability to store a greater charge for portable devices.
