Researchers Create DNA Logic Circuits That Work In Test Tubes
Computers and liquids are not very compatible, as many a careless coffee-drinking laptop owner has discovered. But a new breakthrough by researchers at the California Institute of Technology could result in future logic circuits that literally work in a test tube -- or even in the human body. What Makes a Planet?
Brief introduction for the layperson about the definition of what is a planet and about the 2006 controversy about whether Pluto is a planet. This site notes "there are many things that make Pluto quite different from the [other eight] planets,"so that it is "very hard to classify Pluto with the rest of the major planets."From a professor in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. Keeping Memories Alive: Peace Archives
This site created in 2005 (60 years after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945) describes "numerous radio and TV programs relating to the atomic bombings and peace ever since those tragedies occurred. Approximately 400 of such programs are stored in the NHK Archives."Also includes selected video clips. In English and Japanese. From NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation). Breakthrough In Micro-device Fabrication Combines Biology And Syntheti
Nanostructured micro-devices may be mass produced at a lower cost, and with a wider variety of shapes and compositions than ever before, for dramatic improvements in device performance by utilizing very small biologically produced structures. These entirely new biologically-enabled approaches are detailed in the current issue of the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, published on behalf of The American Ceramic Society. In A Crisis, Creating DNA Vaccine Could Help Save Lives, Slow Spread O
Researchers scrambling to combat a virulent form of bird flu that could mutate into a form easily spread among humans should consider developing vaccines based on DNA, according to British biochemical engineers. DNA vaccines, they say, can be produced more rapidly than conventional vaccines and could possibly save thousands of lives if a global influenza outbreak occurs. Creative Work Has Health Advantages, Population Research Center Study
Employees who have more control over their daily activities and do challenging work they enjoy are likely to be in better health, according to a new study. Although people who work do give up some control over their daily activities, the study found that being employed leads to better health generally, regardless of the amount of creativity required in their work. Insects''Giant Leap'Reconstructed By Founder Of Sociobiology
A survey of advanced social organization in insects calls into question the standard explanation for eusociality Biologist Edward O. Wilson argues that natural selection acting on emergent traits of nascent colonies, rather than on individual organisms, best explains the evolution of eusociality in insects and possibly other species. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
The government plans to crack down on the scam used by faux beggars in growing numbers for a kind of "emotional blackmail", a cabinet minister was quoted as saying... 'Chiptune' Bands Blitz New York for Blip Festival
People who turn vintage computers and videogames into musical instruments come from around the world to participate in the second-annual 8-bit music gathering. Scientists Discover Important Beauty Secret For Balanced Skin Color An
In the timeless quest for healthier, younger looking skin, scientists made an important discovery with implications ranging from helping doctors develop more natural looking bioengineered skin grafts to helping cosmetics companies develop new products for the "perfect"sunless tan. The research study shows for the first time how to manipulate skin tone and color using cells previously thought to play no significant role in this function.
