#Mystery of the Honeybees Solved Members of a joint United states army-University of Montana research team that located a virus that is possibly collapsing honeybee colonies.

Now, a unique partnership of military scientists and entomologists appears to have achieved a major breakthrough: identifying a new suspect, or two.

A fungus tag-teaming with a virus have interacted apparently to cause the problem, according to a paper by Army scientists in Maryland and bee experts in Montana in the online science journal PLOS One.

Liaisons between the military and academia are nothing new, of course. WORLD WAR II, perhaps the most profound example, ended in an atomic strike on Japan in 1945 largely on the shoulders of scientist-soldiers in the Manhattan project.

And a group of scientists led by Jerry Bromenshenk of the University of Montana in Missoula has researched bee-related applications for the military in the past developing, for example

a way to use honeybees in detecting land mines. But researchers on both sides say that colony collapse may be the first time that the defense machinery of the post-Sept. 11 Homeland Security Department

#The Secret of the Strength of the Great wall of china Lies in Sticky Rice Mortar The use of sticky rice was one of the greatest technical innovations of the time.

Scientists have discovered the secret behind an ancient Chinese super-strong mortar made from sticky rice, the delicious oesweet rice that is a modern mainstay in Asian dishes.

They also concluded that the mortar a paste used to bind and fill gaps between bricks,

. and colleagues note that construction workers in ancient China developed sticky rice mortar about 1,

500 years ago by mixing sticky rice soup with the standard mortar ingredient. That ingredient is slaked lime,

Sticky rice mortar probably was the worlds first composite mortar, made with both organic and inorganic materials.

The mortar was stronger and more resistant to water than pure lime mortar, and what Zhang termed one of the greatest technological innovations of the time.

as the oesecret ingredient that appears to be responsible for the mortars legendary strength. oeanalytical study shows that the ancient masonry mortar is a kind of special organic-inorganic composite material,

which comes from the sticky rice soup added to the mortar. Moreover we found that amylopectin in the mortar acted as an inhibitor:

The growth of the calcium carbonate crystal was controlled, and a compact microstructure was produced, which should be the cause of the good performance of this kind of organic-organic mortar.

To determine whether sticky rice can aid in building repair, the scientists prepared lime mortars with varying amounts of sticky rice and tested their performance compared to traditional lime mortar. oethe test results of the modeling mortars shows that sticky rice-lime

mortar has more stable physical properties, has greater mechanical strength, and is more compatible, which make it a suitable restoration mortar for ancient masonry,
