By aiming high- and low-frequency laser beams at a semiconductor, physicists have produced multiple frequencies of light simultaneously.

The laser beams caused electrons to be ripped from their cores, accelerated, and then smashed back into the cores they left behind, report researchers at University of California, Santa Barbara.

The teenage brain matures in step with the onset of puberty, according to the largest longitudinal study to date of electrical activity in the brains of sleeping adolescents.

“A connection between brain and body maturity has long been suspected, but demonstrating its existence has been difficult,” says Ian Campbell, project scientist in psychiatry and behavioral sciences at University of California, Davis.

Researchers have discovered two new tiny frog species in Papua New Guinea, one of which may be the smallest known vertebrate.

On his knees poking at a millipede, Cornell University undergraduate Michael Grundler heard a clicking sound he and others had previously assumed was crickets, but turning his head, he saw a tiny frog inflating its vocal sack.

A massage with extra bite

If your masseuse started off their relaxing routine with a bite to the spine, you might think you’re in for trouble, but Dr. Dot’s rock star clientele seem to appreciate her very nontraditional methods.

Dorothy Stein got started in the massage biz by offering backstage treatments to rock stars in exchange for free tickets, her first gig being at the age of fifteen to the members of Def Leppard, and it was Frank Zappa himself who dubbed her Dr. Dot.

Just so there are no misunderstandings, despite her sometimes racy image, her services and those of her rigorously auditioned “Dot Bots” do not include a happy ending. As she described it:

“We’re the pit bulls of massage,” she says of her team’s focus on deep tissue. “Musicians need a strong massage. The rubbie-dub stuff won’t help.”

And we have no doubt, all their shots are up to date.

42 edible flowers

So, you’ve got your herb garden established and your usual seedlings sprouting (with a few heirlooms thrown in to impress the neighbors), so what’s next on the gardening frontier? Why, edible flowers, of course.

The colorful section of the yard doesn’t have to be just for decoration anymore, and Melissa Breyer at Treehugger has forty-two suggestions (and a list of safety tips) for making summer eating more vibrant than ever before.

1. Allium

All blossoms from the allium family (leeks, chives, garlic, garlic chives) are edible and flavorful! Flavors run the gamut from delicate leek to robust garlic. Every part of these plants is edible.

2. Angelica

Depending on the variety, flowers range from pale lavender-blue to deep rose and have a licorice-like flavor.

3. Anise hyssop

Both flowers and leaves have a subtle anise or licorice flavor.

4. Arugula

Blossoms are small with dark centers and with a peppery flavor much like the leaves. They range in color from white to yellow with dark purple streaks.

5. Bachelor’s button

Grassy in flavor, the petals are edible. Avoid the bitter calyx.

6. Basil

Blossoms come in a variety of colors, from white to pink to lavender; flavor is similar to the leaves, but milder.

7. Bee balm

The red flowers have a minty flavor.

8. Borage

Blossoms are a lovely blue hue and taste like cucumber!

9. Calendula / marigold

A great flower for eating, calendula blossoms are peppery, tangy, and spicy — and their vibrant golden color adds dash to any dish.

10. Carnations / dianthus

Petals are sweet, once trimmed away from the base. The blossoms taste like their sweet, perfumed aroma.

Dinamarca vai ter 100% de energia renovável até 2050

A Dinamarca intensificou sua meta para que toda a energia produzida pela nação seja 100% renovável até 2050. Para isso, até 2020, 35% da produção já será limpa.

 

O anúncio foi feito por Martin Lidegaard, ministra para Energia, Clima e Construção. Ela informou o objetivo do país em ficar dependente de combustíveis fósseis, como o petróleo, e de gás. Dessa forma, o país voltaria a ser líder mundial na transição para a energia renovável.

Portanto, o acordo tem como objetivo fazer a Dinamarca cortar suas emissões de gases de efeito estufa em 34% até 2020 em comparação aos níveis de 1990, além de diminuir o consumo de energia por mais de 12% em relação a 2006.

 

Lidegaard também falou que para alcançar as metas de produção em energia renovável, o país vai investir em parques eólicos, redes inteligentes, biogás, entre outras inovações. Eles serão responsáveis por 50% da produção. Já para as indústrias, as soluções serão baseadas em sistemas de aquecimento e transporte.

 

As mudanças no sistema do país vão oferecer mais segurança à população. Lidegaard também justificou que com 100% de energia renovável, o país reduz sua dependência sobre os preços abusivos do petróleo e do carvão.
