                      Hip hop is a musical genre which developed alongside hip hop culture, and is commonly based on concepts of looping, rapping, freestyling, DJing, scratching, sampling and beatboxing. The music is used to express concerns of political, social, and personal issues. Hip hop began in the Bronx inNew York City in the 1970s, primarily among African Americans, with Jamaican and Latino American immigrant influence. The term rap  is often used synonymously with  hip hop , but  hip hop denotes the practices of an entire subculture. Rapping, also referred to as MCing or emceeing, is a vocal style in which the artist speaks lyrically, in rhyme and verse, generally to an instrumental or synthesized beat. Beats, almost always in 4/4 time signature, can be created by looping portions of other songs, usually by a DJ, orsampled from portions of other songs by a producer. Modern be...

          Gilo Cardozo, a self-taught aviation engineer, inventor and founder of British-based Parajet has created a two-seat flying car. The Skycar is powered by a modified 1000cc, four cylinder, 140hp, ethanol burning, Yamaha R1 superbike engine with a lightweight automatic CVT(continuously variable transmission) gear-box. It has independent four wheel suspension and rear wheel drive. Road acceleration is 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 110 mph. To convert to flight mode, the driver unfolds a parafoil wing from the trunk (boot) and attaches it to the rear of the car. He then flips a switch to change the transmission from road mode, which powers the wheels, to flight mode, which powers the rear fan. Converting from “road mode” to “fly mode” and visa-versa takes about three minutes thanks to the flexible wing technology invented by Mike Campbell Jones, of Paramania Powergliders. The fan’s thrust propels the car forward, provid...

          This wild new motorcycle, invented by 19-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak, is among the latest inventions to capture attention. Debuting at the National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, the "Uno" uses gyro technology for balance and acceleration. It is a battery charged machine that accelerates by leaning forward and slowing down by leaning backwards. It weighs approximately 129 pounds (58 kg.) and has a top speed of 25 mph (40 klms).

         Scientists at Oxford University have reconstructed an Albert Einstein invention in the hopes of developing an eco-friendly refrigerator. Einstein invented a green technology refrigerator in 1930 that operated without electricity or any moving parts. The need for eco-friendly cooling technology is becoming more important given the demand by developing countries for air conditioning and refrigeration. Replacing current technologies with energy efficient, green technology is why scientists are now resurrecting Einstein's invention.

          Inventors, Jung Won Seo, Jae-Woo Park, Keong Su Lim, Ji-Hwan Yang and Sang Jung Kang, who are scientists at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, have created the world's first transparent computer chip.      The chip, known as (TRRAM) or transparent resistive random access memory, is similar to existing chips known as (CMOS) or metal-oxide semiconductor memory, which we use in our electronic devices. The difference is that TRRAM is completely clear and transparent. What is the benefit of having transparency?      "It is a new milestone of transparent electronic systems," says Jung Won Seo. "By integrating TRRAM with other transparent electronic components, we can create a total see-through embedded electronic systems."The technology could enable the windows or mirrors in your home to be used as computer monitors and television screens.This technology is expected to be available within 3 to...

                  The latest invention in television software technology allows the best in high definition television to be delivered through the internet directly to your computer and television.In today's economic climate, households are cutting back wherever they can, and with cable and satellite television costing anywhere from $65 to $150 a month (or more with premium movie channels), this revolutionary software by Satellite Direct provides 24 hour, 7 days a week, unlimited access to 3,500 television channels.Unlike traditional cable and satellite television providers, this technology does not require hardware installation (dish, receivers, cable or other equipment) or monthly subscription fees. The only requirement is a computer, an internet connection, and a one-time payment to download the software, which takes a few minutes.This digital innovation provides DVD-like picture quality, high definition transmission, and c...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921           Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.           During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics a...
