Review: More Horror Than Sci-Fi, 'Daybreakers' Makes Decent Vampire Ro
Bloodsuckers are starving in 2019, and it's not a pretty sight. What starts as a novel science fiction concept gives way to run-of-the-mill gore, but the tag-team duo of Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke gives this weirdly amusing movie a boost.
 Mystery of golden ratio explained
The golden ratio is a geometric proportion that has been theorized to be the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye and has been the root of countless mysteries over the centuries. Now, an engineer has found it to be a compelling springboard to unify vision, thought and movement under a single law of nature's design. New Dopamine Brain Target Discovered; Potential Breakthrough For Schiz
A team of Canadian researchers, lead by Dr. Susan George and Dr. Brian O'Dowd at the Center for Addiction and Mental health, discovered a Gq/11-coupled signalling unit that triggers a calcium signal. This novel target is turned on by stimulating D1 and D2 dopamine receptors. This is the first time that a direct connection between dopamine and calcium signals has been reported. This data has significant implications for schizophrenia. Human Genome Has Four Times More Imprinted Genes Than Previously Ident
Scientists have created the first map of imprinted genes throughout the human genome. The new study revealed four times as many imprinted genes as had been previously identified. Many of the newly-identified imprinted genes lie within genomic regions linked to the development of major diseases like cancer, diabetes, autism, and obesity. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Risk Of Bone Fractures Associated With Use Of Diabetes Drug
New research suggests that there is an association between thiazolidinediones -- a type of drug introduced in the 1990s to treat type 2 diabetes -- and bone fracture. Superconducting Nanowires
US researchers have discovered that ultrathin superconducting wires can withstand stronger magnetic fields than previously thought, which bodes well for new NMR and MRI technologies. Oldest Stars May Shed Light On Dark Matter
The universe's earliest stars may hold clues to the nature of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up most of the universe's matter but doesn't interact with light, cosmologists report. The first stars in an early universe filled with moderately energetic, or "warm,"dark matter would probably have developed in long strings, according to a study in journal Science. In contrast, simulations with slow-moving, cold dark matter generally show the first stars forming in clumps. Nanoparticles Used To Target Brain Cancer
Tiny particles one-billionth of a meter in size can be loaded with high concentrations of drugs designed to kill brain cancer. What's more, these nanoparticles can be used to image and track tumors as well as destroy them, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Experts Urge Redefinition Of The Kilogram
It's time to replace the 115-year-old kilogram artifact as the world's official standard for mass, even though experiments generally thought necessary to achieve this goal have not yet reached their targeted level of precision. That the conclusion of an upcoming Metrologia journal article* authored by five eminent scientists from the United States, United Kingdom and France that was discussed at a scientific meeting of the Royal Society of London on Feb. 14-15.
