According to Bentley, they will focus on emerging market such as India to boost sales to compensate for the slowdown in developed economies.

Chris Buxton Bentley Motors Regional Director said, “There has been a slowdown in the global automobile market and we are expecting to compensate this slowdown by demand in emerging markets like India, China and Middle East,”

The UK-based firm, which started its operation in India in 2003, has so far sold over 100 cars in the country, he said, adding “… we are expecting to sell about 30-35 units this year”.

Scientists discovers Hottest water on Earth

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

Scientists have discovered the hottest water on Earth, which is deep down at the very bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

According to Scientist, the water sits atop what could be a huge bubble of magma, at over 3 kilometers beneath the surface.

It is found by geochemist Andrea Koschinsky from Jacobs University in Bremen, Germany, the fluid is in a “supercritical” state that has never before been seen in nature, spewing out of two black smokers called “Two Boats” and “Sisters Peak”.

First flash from dying star

Filed Under Science, Technology | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

For the first time, scientists have seen the flash of light developed inside a dying star just before it bursts, according to a study that provides a different look into how a supernova develops.

The astronomers said, ‘The red super giant, more than 500 times heavier than the Earth’s own sun, was harmed after it’s core demolished and a deadly shock energy wave blew it up.

The researchers stated, till now the scientists have only been able to experience the afterglow of such explodes that light up galaxies without having knowledge of which star actually burst.

Rocket blasts off to deliver telescope into orbit

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

In Florida, an unmanned Delta rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to place a gamma ray telescope into orbit to examine the most energetic form of light.

Gamma rays are billions of times more powerful that what can be seen with the naked eye. This radiation is developed by the most violent phenomena in the universe, such as the gravitational clamps of black holes and the magnetic fields of star cores so thick that a tablespoon would weight a billion tons.

The $690 million Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope known as GLAST is expected to investigate these objects. The director of NASA`s astrophysics division, Mr. John Morse says, ” If you ever you hit the boundaries and do something an order of magnitude better than you’ve done before, you always wind up with inventions.”

New Kibo space lab is too spacious

Filed Under Science, Technology | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

There is one drawback of new Japanese laboratory on the International Space Station that is too spacious, space shuttle Discovery’s commander said.

He said, we have to be little extra careful. Commander Kelly said during an in flight interview “You can get out in the middle of it and you can’t reach a handrail and you could possibly get stuck there for a little while.”

When moving around in the weightlessness of space and the cramped confines of the space station, astronauts usually use handholds to pull themselves along or push off stationary objects and float a short distance to a new location.

Syria to let in U.N. nuclear investigators: ElBaradei

Filed Under Science, World News | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

The U.N. atomic watchdog chief said on Monday that Syria would make an entry for top inspectors to inspect allegations of a secret nuclear reactor and claimed Iraq to open up the atom bomb research. The International Atomic Energy Agency added Syria to a developing list of nuclear proliferation worries.

Top aides will be touring to Syria in June 22-24 which has been revealed by Mohamed ElBaradei, the chief of IAEA. A senior diplomat said that the trip would include inspector visits to the remote al-Kabir site aimed by Israel “and other places”.

Syria has said the accusations against it are “absurd”. ElBaradei told the IAEA’s 35-nation Board of Governors that he looked forward to Syria’s “full support” with efforts to get the reports of a nuclear reactor built under camouflage in the country’s remote northeastern desert.

Easy to find Human DNA in Household Dust

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

As Recent Report, it’s a first time when researchers identified human DNA in a household dust. Now they can easily trap murderers and thieves by proving their presence at a crime scene.

According to researchers, further studies find the different ways of trapping like how recently they’d visited and many more questions.

Bonnie Brown said, it’s easy to find murderers or thieves because the discovery that humans DNA is detectable and measurable in dust. People have quantified the amount of DNA in dust many times before, but no one had looked before for human DNA.

Phoenix Lander Is Ready for Risky Descent to Mars

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

nasa.jpgA spacecraft now completing a nine-month journey from Earth to Mars must endure a fiery, risky descent to the Red Planet to have a chance to gather up water ice believed buried under a freezing plain.

After traveling 422 million miles since its launching last Aug. 4, NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander is aiming for a land on Sunday in the unexplored northern regions of Mars. But first, it must survive what its developers call the final “seven minutes of terror” to arrive at the surface.

25 years after HIV virus discovered, AIDS vaccine effort must go on: Bernstein

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

logohiv.jpgThe campaign against AIDS marks an important anniversary this week, bringing to mind victories of science and the human spirit but also defeats, stigma and ignorance in a combat that has claimed more lives than World War I.

On May 20 1983, in a paper published in the US journal Science, a team from France’s Pasteur Institute, led by Luc Montagnier, described a suspect virus found in a patient who had died of AIDS.

Dr. Alan Bernstein said in an interview Thursday,” As the world gets ready to mark the 25th anniversary of the publication of the scientific paper announcing the discovery of the virus that causes AIDS, there is a consensus that more, not less, human research is needed in pursuit of the quest”.

Astronomers baffled by weird, fast-spinning pulsar

Filed Under Science | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

science.jpgAstronomers are confused after the discovery of a mysterious type of star called a pulsar apparently locked in an elongated orbit around a star much like the sun — an arrangement defying what had been identified about such objects.

The fast rotating pulsar — an unusually intense object created when a massive star exploded as a supernova — is called J1903+0327 and is to be found about 21,000 light years from Earth, the astronomers stated.
