TrackStick is a GPS tracking device, it tracks your location and saves it in its internal 1 MB memory. TrackStick’s horizontal accuracy is 49 feets (15 meters) and vertical 72 feets (22 meters). This way you can track anybody you care about or monitor somebody.
Just put it in the person’s pocket and then later stick it to your USB port. Wherever the person was you will know it, as simple as that. If you have GoogleEarth installed then it will display you in the map how the person moved and at what time. It requires 2 AAA batteries and 1 MB of its internal memory is enough for tracking somebody one month!

Ocean’s “Twilight Zone” May Be a Key to Understanding Climate Change

A major study sheds new light on the role of carbon dioxide once it’s transported to the oceans’ depths. The research indicates that instead of sinking, carbon dioxide is often consumed by animals and bacteria and recycled in the “twilight zone,” a dimly lit area 100 to 1,000 meters below the surface. Because the carbon […]

When fish first started biting

Before fish began to invade land, about 365 million years ago, they had some big problems to solve. They needed to come up with new ways to move, breathe, and eat.
Take the latter, for example. Fish usually pucker up and suck prey into their mouths. But air is 900 times less dense than water, so […]

Scientists unlock secret of what makes plants flower

A protein acting as a long-distance signal from leaf to shoot-tip tells plants when to flower, says new research published in Science Express on Thursday 19 April 2007.
The study reveals the likely mechanism by which the Arabidopsis plant flowers in response to changes in day length. Earlier research had shown that plants’ leaves perceived seasonal […]
