For several years, astronomers have quizzed the presence of a bizarre object in the center of the Milky Way that was believed to be a hydrogen gas cloud headed toward our galaxy’s enormous black hole. The object is now widely known as G2 by UCLA astronomers who have studied it during its closest approach to the black hole.
The body of G2 has fascinated many astronomers in recent years as it appears to be in an inflated stage. Astronomers believe that they are witnessing a phenomena about black holes that haven’t been watched anywhere else in the universe; a breakthrough into physics in a way that has never been possible before.

This state of the art robot consists of a boxy contraption filled with sensors and microchips which was developed over a budget of 30 million baht, around $1 million. It produces a chemical signature, which it measures against a standard deemed to be the authentic version.
Pioneers in nanotechnology wanted the cheapest and easiest
approach to measure food which results in a direct rating of the same. Because even computers cannot judge taste, the food is compared with a standard derived from a database of popular preferences for each dish with 80 being the standardized rating. Read More>>
