Automated chemistry: The machines that can discover new drugs
Lee Cronin of the University of Glasgow in the UK has a very ambitious plan to use chemistry in a way that anyone can do chemistry. Lee Cronin and his colleagues described their mechanical ability to produce more molecules last year and have now taken the second major step in making digital chemistry an affordable way to design a machine. Alessandra Toniato of IBM's international technology center in Zurich, Switzerland, says her RoboRXN equipment can be useful for people who want to build new molecules but do not have the tools. The IBM RoboRXN international technology kit uses a machine-learning algorithm to help improve the integration of 3 million cells that work against a chemical reaction training site.

Russia’s City 40, graveyard of the Earth
Ozersk, codenamed City 40, was the motherland of the Soviet nuclear munitions program. Now it's one of the world’s most polluted places, but numerous of its residers continue to see it as a paradise, director Samira Goetschel writes. Deep in the vast timbers of Russia’s Ural Mountains lies the interdicted megacity of Ozersk. Behind guarded gates and acerbic lines, walls stand a beautiful riddle – a narcotic place that seems to live in a different dimension. Codenamed City 40, Ozersk was the motherland of the Soviet nuclear munitions program after the alternate world war. For decades, this megacity of people didn't appear on any charts, and its occupants’ individualities were canceled from the Soviet tale. Moment, with its beautiful lakes, scented flowers, and graphic tree-lined thoroughfares, Ozersk resembles a suburban 1950s American city – like one of those too-perfect places depicted in The Twilight Zone.

The Sydney Opera House Effect
The Sydney Opera House Illusion Michael Stevens is the guy in the video above who named the effect when he walked into his hotel in Sydney , and explains all about it. The video is eight minutes long but helps us understand why this optical illusion occurs with references to other optical illusion.

The Rise and Rise of Batteries
What is a battery? A battery is a self-contained, chemical power pack that produces a limited amount of electrical energy wherever it is needed. Unlike normal electricity, which is usually produced in a power plant, a battery slowly converts chemicals packed inside it into electrical energy.

Earth Biography
Earth's atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. More solar energy is received by tropical regions than polar regions and is redistributed by atmospheric and ocean circulation. Water vapor is widely present in the atmosphere and forms clouds that cover most of the planet. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide (CO2) trap a part of the energy from the Sun close to the surface. A region's climate is governed by latitude, but also by elevation and proximity to moderating oceans. Severe weather, such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, and heatwaves, occurs in most areas and greatly impacts life.
