As Casey Luskin reveals in this episode of ID the Future , eminent biologists have said that they must continually remind themselves that what they see in biology evolved, and was not designed. But now engineers are turning to biology to replace human technology because biological pathways provide superior solutions to biomedical-technological needs. Is this trend more consistent with an evolved biosphere,...

Tiny metal particles have been shown to cause changes to DNA across a cellular barrier - without having to cross it. The nanometre and micrometre scale particles resulted in an increase of damage to DNA across the barrier via a never-before-seen cell signal process. Reporting in Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers say the mechanism could be both a risk and an opportunity.' Read more...

There was some objection to my post Is Robo Habilis a gateway to Intelligence? to the effect that it might take a lot of extra time to build the robots, and that would lengthen the time necessary to develop AI. That might certainly be true of the garage experimenter, but in the world at [...]
We have just mentioned about Zinc-Air as the potential next generation battery technology replacing Lithium-Ion, now seems that there is another competing technology known as Ionic batteries that is claimed to be able to last even longer with up to 11 times of energy density as compared to typical Lithium battery. The project was funded by [...] [ This is a content summary only. Visit My Digital Life...
Washington Post: When terrorists last week blew up the Mina Bazaar, a market for women and children, they detonated a car bomb so powerful it left more than 100 people dead and 15 missing in a nightmarish scene of scattered limbs, charred corpses and victims trapped alive under mounds of debris. The bombing crossed a new line of callousness, uniting Peshawar in grief and fear and unleashing a tide...

The Scientist | Nanoparticles can damage DNA even in cells that are not directly exposed to them, according to an in vitro study published online today (November 5) in Nature Nanotechnology -- raising further questions about the safety of nanomaterials used in clinical therapies. "DNA damage due to nanoparticles has been described for many types of nanoparticles, but that's done in a primary or...
Yep, it’s rubber-hose time, folks: a rapid-fire Q&A for those shifty-looking usual suspects ... What crime novel would you most like to have written? THE LAST GOOD KISS by James Crumley. I read it ages ago as a fledgling novelist and suddenly lights went on. I’ve talked to a surprising number of other writers over the years who’ve said the same thing. What fictional character...
Earlier this week, Jemaine Clement broke the news that his folk-comedy duo, Flight of the Conchords, “very likely might not” return as a series. He and his elfin collaborator, Bret McKenzie, will make their final decision within the next month. What’s at stake? Family commitments, as it turns out. “Bret and I are both fathers,” Clement told us during an interview to promote...
