Salmon DNA used in data storage device
Posted by admin in Science on 08. Jan, 2012 | 0 Comments
Salmon … they’re good to eat, provide a livelihood for fishermen, are an important part of their ecosystem, and now it seems that they can store data. More specifically, their DNA can. Scientists from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have created a "write-once-read-many-times" (WORM) memory device, [...]

One of the things that our brains excel at is the ability to recognize what things are, even when presented with an incomplete set of data. If we know only that an animal is sold in pet stores and stuffs food in its cheeks, for instance, we can be pretty certain that the animal in [...]
New technology developed for the large-scale editing of DNA
Posted by admin in Future, Science on 15. Jul, 2011 | 0 Comments
While scientists have long had the ability to edit individual genes, it is a slow, expensive and hard to use process. Now researchers at Harvard and MIT have developed technologies, which they liken to the genetic equivalent of the find-and-replace function of a word processing program, that allow them to make large-scale edits to a [...]
Ancient body clock discovered that helps to keep all living things on time

Scientists have identified the mechanism responsible for driving the internal clock of almost all living organisms A group of Cambridge scientists have successfully identified the mechanism that drives our internal 24-hour clock, or circadian rhythm. It occurs not only in human cells, but has also been found in other life forms such as algae, and [...]
Can Our DNA Electromagnetically ‘Teleport’ Itself?
Posted by admin in Science on 14. Jan, 2011 | 0 Comments
DNA Teleportation Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier describes a phenomenon in which DNA emits electromagnetic signals of its own construction, "ghost DNA" that can be mistaken by enzymes as the real deal and replicated in another place. Essentially, it’s DNA teleportation. A Nobel prize winning scientist who shared the 2008 prize for medicine for his [...]
