Coral Reef Remedies: Seaweed from Fiji Yields New Molecular Structures
Researchers have discovered 10 new molecular structures with pharmaceutical potential in a species of red seaweed that lives in the shallow coral reef along the coastline of Fiji in the south Pacific Ocean.Some of these natural compounds showed the potential to kill cancer cells, bacteria and the HIV virus, according to research at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In fact, two of them exhibit anti-bacterial activity towards antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at concentrations worth pursuing. Laser Probe Of A Brain Pigment's Anatomy May Offer Insight Into Parkin

The Moddy Mahem of Half-Life 2
How a fave PC shooter became a platform for DIY weirdness. By James Lee from Wired magazine. Unravelling The Random Fluctuations Of Nothing
The dream of theoretical physics is to unite behind a common theory that explains everything, but that goal has remained highly elusive. String theory emerged 40 years ago as one of the most promising candidates for such a theory, and has since slipped in and out of favour as new innovations have occurred. Now Europe is fortunate to have one of the world's leading experts in string theory working on an ambitious project that could make significant progress towards a unified theory, and at least help resolve two mysteries. One is how the universe emerged in the beginning as a random fluctuation of a vacuum state, and the other is a common explanation for all sub-atomic particles. Mr. Comics Talks Comics
