Technology Review: Ultrafast DNA NanosensorUltrafast DNA Nanosensor A new type of sensor makes diagnosing infections quick and easy. A portable instrument based on an ultrasensitive nanoscale sensor could detect bacteria in minutes, helping to catch infectious diseases early and prevent their spread. The simple, low-cost device ...

Memristor minds: The future of artificial intelligence - tech - 08 July 2009 - New ScientistEVER had the feeling something is missing? If so, you're in good company. Dmitri Mendeleev did in 1869 when he noticed four gaps in his periodic table . They turned out to be the undiscovered elements scandium, gallium, technetium and germanium. Paul Dirac did in 1929 when he looked deep into ...

Scientists Learn To Fabricate DNA EvidenceHugh Pickens writes "The NY Times reports that it is possible to fabricate blood and saliva samples containing DNA from a person other than the donor, and even to construct a sample of DNA to match someone's profile without obtaining any tissue from that person — if you have access to their ...

62Polyworld: Using Evolution to Design Artificial IntelligenceInteresting talk. Liked the (1994!) simulation of the two artificial creatures whose fighting strategies (to take control of a ball) evolve thru genetic algorithms. More recent work shows more sophisticated behaviours (using vision) evolved in the same way.François Dongier added 7 months ago

Has universal ageing mechanism been found? - health - 26 November 2008 - New ScientistImagine a world with fewer age-related diseases. Maybe something like the time before the supposed Flood. Imagine a pre-flood protein that lengthened lifespan for hundreds of years. Maybe Methuselah did live to 969 years of age. Maybe he had access to something we are just discovering is ...Murray Peat added 11 months ago
