Year of Science

|

Period 2010, assessed as registrar in the resurrection of science in a number of areas. From the field of physics, biology, health, aerospace, environmental, and other scholarly. Here is a piece of recorded progress of each aspect of human life.

Physics
There is one major story in 2010: Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHC energy particle accelerator is the biggest and highest in the world. Understanding of the LHC is able to answer the most basic questions of physics, and promote human understanding of natural laws.

LHC reportedly collided in March 2010. And a month ago, the collision was fused with the ability to 99.99 percent the speed of light with temperatures reaching 10 trillion degrees Celsius. Equivalent to the first microsecond of the Big Bang theory of cosmology-about events of the formation of the universe.

Health
For the first time, an experimental treatment based on embryonic stem cells, believed to be the next technological leap for the treatment-has been running in England. Researchers at University College London, said it had marked the birth of these stem cells.

In January, the leukemia vaccine already been tested in humans. Although still in its early stages, the vaccine being tested at King's College London showed promising results when tested in mice. A month later, hope emerged in the treatment of cancer by a geneticist at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. The treatment refers to the adjustment of one's genetic fingerprints. This technique has been tested in patients with colon cancer and breast cancer.

Biology
Controversial biologist Craig Venter made headlines by creating synthetic life forms in the laboratory. "Synthia" was created using genome Mycoplasma genitalium. Venter and his team to change the DNA using a computer, taking 100 genes and add a "watermark". They then inserted into the core genome of a bacterium M. genitalium, which is reproduced, creating mycoplasma laboratory.

There is also exciting news for fans of Jurassic Park. The zoo in San Diego has to cloning animals die. So far, they only have to use an endangered species.

Environmental
A report issued by the Royal Society and the Zoological Society of London showed that one in five vertebrate species are under threat of extinction. While the research results of the United Nations said that while this species at any time more quickly disappear, beginning from the death of the dinosaurs. Increased acidity of the oceans is also threatening the reef system and causing shortages of food, thereby reducing fish populations.

According to the World Meteorological Association, 2010 to be part of the record the condition of the hottest in the world. In addition to last year, experts noted 2000 and 2009 to become part of the three hottest years hottest in the world.
