It is genetically different from the fully human H1N1 seasonal influenza virus that has been circulating globally for the past few years. The new flu virus contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and A
According to the police, a lab technician with the Swiss National Center for Influenza in Geneva had travelled to Zurich to collect eight ampoules, five of which were filled with the H1N1 swine flu virus.
The world was now at a "turning period", said Gregory Hartl, a WHO spokesman, where it would soon become clear whether the virus was capable of the kind of sustained, large-scale movement between humans that would bring a full pandemic a st
Another instance of hysteria, to be managed by the public health tyrants.
ABL would deter potential adversaries and provide speed-of-light capability to destroy all classes of ballistic missiles in their boost phase of flight. Eliminating missiles in their boost phase would reduce the number of shots required by other e
The green advantage is promoting the rapid development of plastics based on non hydrocarbon feedstocks. The cost differential is likely minimal and the need for bragging rights is now driving this industry. So while we have been focused on the pro
Between ages 11 and 17, children's brain waves reduce significantly while they sleep ... reflects a trimming-down process going on inside teenagers' brains during these years, where extraneous mental connections made during childhood are lost
Researchers at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled what they say is "significant" evidence of cold fusion, a potential energy source that has many skeptics in the scientific community. The scientists described the first clear evidence that l
Then about three years ago, a researcher did the obvious and reported that the clearly authentic images are formed with six inch pixels. That made it completely clear, at least to me. We already knew that microwave energy was involved to collapse the
Researchers use fMRI to determine the contents of short-term memory.
2 US teams have developed new materials that may pave the way for ever smaller, faster and more powerful electronics as current semiconductor technology begins to reach the limits of miniaturization. One team has made tiny transistors
The demise of the rust belt was always an exaggeration, just as the fear that German industry could not compete. All industrial production is about intelligent design and then taking a few cents of raw material, pounding it a few times and selling it
I was reminded recently of the vanadium battery – see attached item from Wikipedia. The low energy density has kept this technology sidelined in the battery business since the apparent demand opportunity is in mobile applications. Now that the solar
No, the lost city of Atlantis has not been found. Google Earth images showing what appeared to be a grid of streets on the ocean floor off the coast of Africa were actually tracks left by boat sonar.
it is not without interest that large structures have been identified from recent satellite photos in this part of the lower Guadalquivir basin. One shows a rectangular structure with a length of 230 metres and a width of 140 metres. It could be a re
Check out the described experiments posted a couple of days ago and try them out. I have not done so yet but some are dead simple and no fuss at all. If we can all make the pyramid frame spin we will all be on his page knowing that fine geometric cur
The site lies 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands — a location for Atlantis seemingly suggested by the ancient philosopher Plato.
This short item is extremely important because it identifies a mechanism by which a single cell organism can rewire its own DNA and thereby the information that it passes on to its offspring. I had come to this conclusion in my manuscript and had sai
When the letters and e-mails started to pour in, Dr. Paul Offit braced himself. The pediatrician and vaccine inventor is a prominent defender of childhood vaccines, tackling those who have argued that immunizations can cause autism.
My point is simply that there is an incredible amount of carbon tied up in the sediments that has made it there solely as a result of biological processes. It was tied up in the form of CO2 and Methane at the beginning just like every other planet we
Soldiers who perform best under extreme stress have higher levels of chemicals that dampen the fear response, a finding that could lead to new drugs or training strategies to help others cope better. "There are certain individuals who just don**
Scientists have discovered a drug that could erase fearful memories in humans. The method, using existing blood pressure pills, could be useful for weakening or erasing bad memories in people with post-traumatic stress disorder, the researchers sa
It is easy to understand what drives cellulose based biofuel research. There is plenty of it and by its very nature, only termites and odd single cell animals thrive on its food value. Converting waste cellulose to a fuel precursor is a very desirabl
Research shows that photonic crystals can change color as quickly as other technologies. (This means that you can buy a magazine and have the entire content changed with a download... Imagine)
The electronics industry hopes to woo consumers with eye-popping technology.
Carbon nanotubes can be thought of as sheets of graphite rolled up in different ways to form tubes. Depending on how they fold, the nanotubes can either have metallic or semiconducting properties
Tool use was once thought to distinguish humans from animal — until, that is, so many animals proved able to use them.
If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all livin
Our clueless leaders couldn't predict how many analog TV sets existed.
Researchers have found out what made the 1918 flu pandemic so deadly -- a group of three genes that lets the virus invade the lungs and cause pneumonia.
