Let me nominate the following as perhaps the most important comments made in the year 2004: Kenneth S. Deffeyes, a Princeton University geologist, speaking at the American Chemical Society meeting said, for Thanksgiving 2005: “Give thanks for a century of cheap and plentiful oil…The exploration game is essentially over…We are unable to find new oil at the rate society or ...

When you’re getting new tools to explore disease like the ones mentioned below, it’s hard to wait to see what gets built with them. From the ACS meeting–American Chemical Society, that is. As our understanding of biology increases, the tools of research become almost as important as the researchers wielding them. Currently, one of the major obstacles to research is ...

Japanese start paying with their cellphones Thought this was interesting. About 2 years ago as we first all heard of RFID tags/Bluetooth the big thing was integrating them into your cellphone. So your cellphone could be the keys to your car, house, work as well as how you paid for items at resteraunts and vending machines. Well looks like NTT ...

Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute have altered the genome of mice to express a human protein called PPAR-delta. This change enabled the mice to double their endurance. The genetic transformation is permanent and will be inherited by next-generation mice. With no previous running experience, most mice can run about 900 meters before exhaustion. But the genetically altered mice can ...
