Generator Turns Train Vibrations into Energy

With all the power outs from storms, especially Hurricane Sandy, causes generators to be very important. With 140,000 train tracks all over the nation, Stone Brook University found out a way to turn the vibrations into usable electricity.

Sony Struggles With Sales.

When it was first released, they sold 325,000 in the first week of sales, then dropped by 80% after. Sony hit a low sale, they haven't had in 32 years, their stocks dropped nearly 9% since they've hired a new chief in the company.

                                     Artificial Molecule Could Stop Allergic Reactions

 

 

    Some allergies such as a peanut allergy or a bee sting, could potentially hospitalize or kill the person allergic. People from Stanford University of Medicine has found something that should be able to stop severe allergic reactions, in seconds. When a regular allergen enters the body, the body creates a type of antibody, which stays in the body afterwards. When the same allergen enters the body, it binds with the antibody causing those cells to release inflammatory mediators, which causes a severe allergic reaction. Its called DARPin E2-79 and it contains a certain protein which stops the antibody.
