Washington, December 9 : While Barack Obama might be drawing plans to get himself a new tuxedo, his wife Michelle may be on a designer hunt on what to wear at the inauguration ceremony.

The first African-American to become the First Lady of the United States is said to be on the list of top couturiers waiting to clad the wife of the President-elect in their threads on January 20, 2009.

However, the number of inauguration balls is yet to be announced, reports Fox News.

Washington, Dec 9 : The discovery of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of a Jupiter-like planet 63 light-years away has fuelled hopes for the detection of habitable exoplanets in the future.

According to a report in National Geographic News, Mark Swain of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said that CO2 is a biomarker, a molecule associated with life as we know it.

This first discovery of the molecule on a far-flung planet, he said, is a step toward eventually finding biomarkers on smaller, more Earthlike worlds.

Last March, Swain and colleagues had announced the first detection of another biologically important chemical, methane, on the same exoplanet, as well as confirmation of water vapor.

Washington, Dec 9 : Want to know who is it that Will Smith turns to for advice on doing sex scenes with the world''s hottest actresses—his wife Jada.

In an industry where break-ups run rampant, Will and Jada have been married since the last 11 years.

And the ‘I Am Legend’ actor has admitted that it was his actress wife who helped him overcome his shyness to film a love scene with his ‘Seven Pounds’ co-star Rosario Dawson.

Washington, Dec 9 : In a study on mice, researchers at University of Iowa and University of Michigan have found that disrupted protein folding may lead to fatty liver disease, a condition that causes fat to accumulate in the liver.

The study, led by Tom Rutkowski, Ph. D., assistant professor of anatomy and cell biology at the UI Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, and Randal Kaufman, Ph. D., professor of biological chemistry and internal medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, is the first to demonstrate a direct link between this critical cellular housekeeping process and abnormal fat metabolism.

Washington, Dec 9 : Men tend to have more reddish skin, while greenish skin is more common among women, according to a new study.

After analysing a dozen of faces, Michael J. Tarr, a Brown University scientist, and graduate student Adrian Nestor have discovered that there exists a colour difference associated with gender.

The finding of the study has important implications in cognitive science research, such as the study of face perception, as well as potential industry or consumer applications in areas such as facial recognition technology, advertising, and studies of how and why women apply makeup.
