Gold Nanoparticles Discovered to Unzip DNA
DNA is a huge, unwieldy molecule that researchers at North Carolina State University have been trying to package in more efficient ways to help improve gene therapies.
They’ve been using gold nanoparticles coated with ligands in their studies, but while performing experiments they discovered that the material can actually unzip DNA strands, a finding that may help advance all kinds of genetic research.
Some Outrageous Facts about Inequality
1. U.S. companies in total pay a smaller percentage of taxes than the lowest-income 20% of Americans.
2. The high-profit, tax-avoiding tech industry was built on publicly-funded research.
3. The sales tax on a quadrillion dollars of financial sales is ZERO.
4. Many Americans get just a penny on the dollar.
DECLARATION of INTERNET FREEDOM
We believe that a free and open Internet can bring about a better world. To keep the Internet free and open, we call on communities, industries and countries to recognize these principles. We believe that they will help to bring about more creativity, more innovation and more open societies.
A finished basement can be a beautiful thing. With the right accoutrements and enough effort, what might otherwise be a damp, empty space lined with concrete can be turned into a cozy playroom, or a den, or an office and gym. Properly planned, the basement can become an integral part of a household, even a kind of engine that powers it from below.
Nanoporous graphene can strain salt molecules from water
Thirsty? No? You will be. It's just a matter of time. It's also just a matter of time until the expansion of humanity makes fresh water a more precious commodity than a new iPhone, butgraphene sheets with lots of little holes in them could soon solve the problem by making fresh water from salt water with incredible efficiency.
Salt water is salt water because it has salt in it. That is to say, amongst all of those little molecules of H2O (water), you'll also find slightly larger molecules of NaCL (salt). The salt molecules cause lots of problems, not the least of which is that they render the water undrinkable by anyone except fish.
