Wow! Thanks. I’m happy that you like it :)

Scientists in the US have developed a calculator from living cells, using old-fashioned analog programming. Their hope is that the technology could be used in the future to program cells to kill cancer. Researchers have previously built electronic circuits using living cells. They achieved this by forcing living cells to behave in binary (digital) systems. But this is not energy efficient. And many cells are required to implement simple functions that transistors, the basic units of electronic […]

Recent research has clarified how Thioridazine one of the first antipsychotics to be used is also effective in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There is a small case series (n=5)  looking at Ramelteon in Delirium. Ramelteon is a Melatonin receptor agonist. Further studies will be needed to see if this effect is seen in large […]

A one-way trip to Mars sounds like something you'd wish on your worst enemy — so why would more than 78,000 people from around the world pay up to $75 for a chance to die on another planet? "I can say I have an ulterior motive," said David Brin, who has written more than a  …

Burning tar sands = 'unsolvable' climate crisis: Hansen Climate change has shifted the North and South Poles Climate change is happening… So what? Fiji's villagers move uphill to escape rising seas Global warming has not stalled Go fish (somewhere else): Warming oceans are altering catches Ignoring the cost of climate change is bad business Mount Everest's ice is melting Profits vs. disaster in Arctic meltdown Warmer springs linked to dwindling snow in Rocky Mountains Why we know about […]
