Hunt for Alien Life May Focus on Water-Vapor Plumes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPb6Cb3tXpk The Hubble Space Telescope is famous for finding black holes. It can pick out thousands of galaxies in a patch of sky the size of a thumbprint. The most powerful space telescope ever built, the Hubble provided evidence that the universe is slowing down in its infinite rush into whatever lies beyond. But Hubble’s... Continue Reading →
13.7 Billion Years Of Galaxy Formation In 46 Seconds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y29RqyYdknw Galaxies are vast systems of planets, stars, gas, dust and dark matter bound together by gravity. Scientists estimate that there are around 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe, ranging in size from tens of millions of stars to one hundred trillion stars. The shape and composition of a galaxy is influenced by interactions... Continue Reading →
OpenWorm: A Digital Organism In Your Browser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r00FkkGFfrg OpenWorm is an international open science project to simulate the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans at the cellular level in silico. Although the long term goal is to model all 959 cells of the C. elegans, the first stage is to model the worm's locomotion by simulating the 302 neurons and 95 muscle cells. This bottom...

The ‘chemputer’ that could print out any drug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAEqvn7B2Qg At TEDGlobal last month, Lee Cronin, a chemist at the University of Glasgow, described an ambitious idea to create a 3D printer that, instead of printing objects, prints molecules. Cronin believes that if a device could be constructed, pharmacists would be able to download plans for assorted drugs and print them out on site.... Continue Reading →
Mayo Clinic Researchers May Have Discovered A Cure For Cancer Hidden In Measles Vaccine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWbJlWXIOU4 In the past few years, we've seen the introduction of a cervical cancer vaccine and a prostate cancer vaccine — but what if a vaccine could actually cure cancer, instead of just preventing it? According a new, promising study by the Mayo Clinic, that possibility might be more real than you might think. The... Continue Reading →
