More amazing research findings are being made in research centers of the Malaysia’s local universities. The PECIPTA 09 exhibition, which had been held from 8-10 October 2009, uncovers these new findings, which contribute towards a more progressive society. Among many amazing research presented, Prof Dr Mohd Ali Hassan submitted his research on “Novel High Rate In-vessel Composter for Oil Palm Biomass, Organic and Municipal Wastes”.
 

More amazing research findings are being made in research centers of the Malaysia’s local universities. The PECIPTA 09 exhibition, which had been held from 8-10 October 2009, uncovers these new findings, which contribute towards a more progressive society. Among many spectacular research presented, a team led by Prof Dr Mahiran Basri on “Design and Development of palm-based transdermal nanoemulsions for Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)” suggested that patients taking long term NSAIDS medications suffered serious gastrointestinal (GI).

Topical palm-based nanoemulsions system was designed and developed to deliver the NSAIDS. There were many …

The PECIPTA 09 exhibition, which has been held from 8-10 October 2009, uncovers these new findings, which contribute towards a more progressive society. Among many wonderful research presented, one of them is a submission from University Putra Malaysia’s Dr Osumanu Haruna Ahmed on “Sustainable Technology for Reduction of Ammonia Pollution in the Environment” reports simple techniques of isolating folic acid (FA) and holmic acid (HA) from decomposed organic materials and the ability of these organic …

Amateur rocketry is a hobby in which participants experiment with fuels and make their own rocket motors, launching a wide variety of types and sizes of rockets. Even the hobby is sound lame, amateur rocketeers have been responsible for significant research into hybrid rocket motors, and have built and flown a variety of solid, liquid, and hybrid propellant motors. While many of them have their own motto, many agree with the motto of “the failure is fun when the explosion is big enough”. Below are some photos of real work …

It has been a NASA dream to see someday they can use a DepthX-like Robot to explore Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter. Being a mechanical-means for deep sea exploration, DeathX has a good design for the scientists to explore a new world for human. Astrobiologists have long suspected that frozen Europa harbors liquid water – making it one of the most probable places in our solar system to support life. A robot like DepthX could eventually be launched into space aboard a probe, descends through Europa’s frozen surface in …

Many science fields like physcis, mechanics and space have reached their quantum level and the knowledges are very common to even a layman. But, have you wondered what is quantum internet and how it works? Let’s say Adam has a message he wants to send to his friend Jack. He encrypts it with a “key” – a sequence of 0s and 1s that unlocks the message. In quantum encryption, he sends this key using one of two intertwined alphabets. An eavesdropper has to guess which alphabet to read. A wrong …

Every year, million gallons of watermelons are wasted during farm’s harvest. Motivated by this fact, a research team from US biotechnology centre has conducted an experiment with hypothesis which stated whether the wasted watermelons can translate into energy or not.
The result is very shocking. As a matter of fact, watermelon juice is about 10 percent sugar by volume, and about half the concentration can produce ethanol. It also has amino acids that provide a crucial source of nitrogen for yeast to feed on during fermentation. The team calculated that they …
