A new fast-acting disinfectant that is effective against bacteria, viruses and other germs could help stop the spread of deadly infections in hospitals, German scientists said on Wednesday. Researchers from the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin said they had developed a fast-acting, practical formula which would kill germs on surgical instruments without damaging them through [...]

Exotic Symmetry Seen in Ultracold Electrons
Posted by Siril on January 20th, 2010
An exotic type of symmetry — suggested by string theory and theories of high-energy particle physics, and also conjectured for electrons in solids under certain conditions — has been observed experimentally for the first time. An international team, led by scientists from Oxford University, report in a recent article in Science how they spotted the [...]
Common Stomach Pathogen May Protect Against Tuberculosis
Posted by Siril on January 20th, 2010
It’s been implicated as the bacterium that causes ulcers and the majority of stomach cancers, but studies by researchers at Stanford University, UC Davis, and the University of Pittsburgh have found that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) also may play a protective role — against the worldwide killer, tuberculosis (TB). In an article appearing online in [...]
Researchers Confirm That Ant Has Given Up Sex Completely
Posted by mrudula on January 11th, 2010
The complete asexuality of a widespread fungus-gardening ant, the only ant species in the world known to have dispensed with males entirely, has been confirmed by a team of Texas and Brazilian researchers. Most social insects—the wasps, ants and bees—are relatively used to daily life without males. Their colonies are well run by swarms of [...]

No Comments »Mind-To-Machine Technology for Communication
Posted by admin on January 7th, 2010
Scientists are developing mind-to-machine technology that could enable people who cannot speak to communicate using their own brain waves and a computer screen. Recently, neuroscientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville, Fla., demonstrated that brain waves, focusing on a matrix of letters, can project letters onto a monitor – with the goal of eventually [...]
