scientists have created artificial life…
can’t wait the day when I’ll be able to program DNA

can’t wait the day when I’ll be able to program DNA
here’s how it would look like
I’ve recently bought second hand Teleskop Service 10×50 LE in hope I’ll be able to see the planets, stars a lot better
but the results so far have been slim
it’s been raining here for days, and it will continue to rain for days
white clouds almost make it impossible to see the stars
tonight, I got lucky, I saw some stars
my neck really hurts
but… I saw no planets and moon wasn’t even in the sky
I guess city lights and white clouds did their thing :]
oh well, anyone had better luck than me?
Here’s a vid explaining what happens inside your cells
Some people at Harvard made it here
by the scientists at University of Alberta led by Stephen Barr, a molecular virologist.
the gene named TRIM22 can block HIV in a cell culture and is present in our own body
this gene does not work in people already infected with HIV and the researchers are trying to find out why

and the force is 210 piconewtons to move cobalt atom over a smooth platinum surface and 17 piconewtons to move cobalt atom over a copper surface
this was found out by IBM scientist working with their colleagues from University of Regensburg in Germany

I didn’t know what was his name, but I knew him very well from the various popular science movies that he’s been in
he’s an American theoretical physicist, a very interesting character, explains things in a simple language
now he’s a professor in theoretical physics at City College of New York, hosts two radio programs, writes books and of course, does movies
you can see some of his work at YouTube (just click the link)
anyway, I think I should mention him because he deserves it
here’s his Wikipedia page
no, it’s not science fiction
some scientists at Monash University, Victoria, Australia, made clothes able to clean themselves (imagine that)
they used titanium dioxide nanoparticles on wool, silk etc.
the clothes work by oxidizing (burning, degrading) bacteria and the likes and can even self remove wine stains
I know I’d like to have clothes/bed sheets from those materials

Professor Stan Skafidis and his team of Melbourne University have made this small chip for wireless data exchange.
The chip is about a few millimeters in size, manages data transfers up to 5 gigabits per second, has a radius of 10 meters and works at 60 GHz spectrum.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have so much bandwidth in your room that all the other devices (laptop, tv, mobile phone, camera etc.) can use?
The chip uses less than 2 Watts of power and it costs like USD 10 to make it
Here’s the link
Wow
