The  Ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection system is widely used throughout the world to produce clean water.  However, it has problems that are seldom mentioned. Microorganisms are removed but salts, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals and chlorine are not.  The method does use huge amounts of electricity, so there is always the danger of outage.  If the base water has solids this blocks light and it does not work. purify New in Way on Water Discovered purify Scientists have been trying to find another way for a long time.  The Australian National University has managed to identify and alternative. Organic pollutants are decomposed by using modified titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst on sunlight.  Nitrogen and niobium atoms boost the process.  Discovered water purify ways new. The technique has a wide range of uses, for drinking water, making hydrogen fuel, glassmaking, and self-cleaning building materials.  It is more co...

| ▶ Chaco people had female rulers. | stories news chaco. | ◀ | American civilizations believed that kings and Queens were different from the ordinary person.  The Chaco who ruled from 800 to 1130, passed royal genes down through the female line.  DNA evidence from bodied found in graves, highlights this practise.   | ▶ American Chaco People Matriarchal | stories news. | ◀ | Fourteen skeletons were of elite females and had elaborate burials.  Shell pendants and beads were found in their grave sites, together with conch and abalone shells.  Turquoise was in abundance.  The people certainly thought a lot of royalty.     | ▶ Chaco in People on Matriarchal | australian ◀ |     All of the nine skeletal remains tested had the same matriarchal mitochondrial genomes.  The genetic code goes through the female lineage from mother to daughter.  It was a clearly a female dynasty.  This does not mean that males did not control soci...

When a warmer climate spread across the world, mammoths were in deep trouble.  Melting snow together with predation by humans made the animals extinct.  There numbers dwindled to zero in 6,000 years.  A strange thing happened during this time.  The species tried to adapt and threw up countless mutations.  Most were destructive.   | ▶ optimum not stories news. | mutations mammoths killed ◀ | The long dark coat, so good as insulation from the cold, became like satin and light could shine through it.  They got severe irritable bowel syndrome due to their loss of smell.    It stopped them from mating due to protein changes in the creature's urine.    | ▶ | australian| mutations ◀ |     These changes are now known from two specimens in Siberia.  One on the mainland and another on a rock island.  It was the slightly later Wrangel Island specimen that had an over representation of genetic mutations.

Australia is the first nation to experience the repercussions from climate change.  The weather has changed permanently.  A four day conference of Australian and New Zealand scientists met and the outcome was not good. "Climate fatigue" is when scientists keep telling the public what is happening and it is ignored.   Politicians are the most harden anti-science group.  They keep saying that climate change is not proven.  Yet a premise in any other area is accepted as proved with less evidence.  A letter signed by 150 scientists was sent to PM Malcolm Turnbull asking for something to be done.  The letter was not even acknowledged. January was the hottest month ever recorded in Brisbane and Sydney.  Heatwaves from now on will be record breakers.  This is ominous.  It means more bushfires.   Ironically,  we are not just getting extended dries.  Floods are happening more often.  There is a move toward weather e...

There is something new in science, despite claims that everything is known.  New Zealand, like Australia (Australinea), is a continent - a very small one at that.  The scientific  powers that be  have to verify that it is the seventh continent. Professor Bruce Luyendyk named it Zealandia in 1995. Then, many claimed that Zealandia it had only three of the necessary attributes. Satellite images show that the plate is unfragmented. With all four attributes identified, Zealandia is now accepted as a valid continent. The decision will be yes. Zealandia was part of the Australia 85 million years ago. The land mass contains valuable minerals. Australia, Nova Zeelandia and Nouvelle-Calédonie will have to work out who controls specific areas. Calédonie is a French overseas territory, so France will be involved. australia zealandia continent australia continent zealandia links to australia links continent undo zealandia links australia business continent zealandia p...

Scientists are wrong about many things, though they advise curriculum developers about scientific "fact".  What has been accepted for centuries as correct is now under threat from new technology.  Helium is not the sacrosanct element that remains a loner not joining with other materials to create compounds.  A group of scientists have joined helium to sodium. A note here, the person who named the electrical poles got it wrong. He only had two choices: the right way and the wrong way. He said that one pole is positive and the other is negative. Unfortunately, Only holes flow from the named + terminal. Solid electrons flow the other way from the - named terminal: these are not really negative. They are substantial. Naming the pole negative is just a formalization of the greatest mistake in history. Getting back to the issue, high pressure is required for the helium-sodium compound. This could be the normal situation on distant gas giant stars. On these stars...

The Coalition Government's intention to bring in a welfare card tied to a specific bank account for welfare recipients is immoral and unworkable. Stopping those on unemployment and disability support from buying alcohol is absolute hypocrisy. Politicians drink the best spirits, wine and beer that money can buy. Incidentally, much of it is paid for by the taxpayer. They do not have the right to prevent others from consuming what they want. .
