| DNA motor 'walks' along nanotube, transports tiny particle Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:53 PM PST Researchers have created a new type of molecular motor made of DNA and demonstrated its potential by using it to transport a nanoparticle along the length of a carbon nanotube.  |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:39 AM PST A new algorithm uses subtle changes to make a face more memorable without changing a person's overall appearance.  |
| Radioactivity muddles alphabet of DNA Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:42 AM PST Researchers have shown natural radioactivity within DNA can alter chemical compounds, providing a new pathway for genetic mutation. The research for the first time looked at natural radioactivity within human DNA on the atomic-scale. While radioactivity occurs naturally in our bodies as well as in every living organism across the planet, it was never before thought to affect our DNA in such a direct way.  |
| Drug residues in Swedish sewage water Posted: 17 Dec 2013 05:52 AM PST Chemists in Sweden have been able to trace narcotics substances and prescription drugs in measurements of wastewater from 33 Swedish sewage treatment plants. Cocaine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine, in measurable concentrations, were found in a total of half of the locations.  |
| Poor owner knowledge of cat sex life linked to 850,000 unplanned kittens every year Posted: 16 Dec 2013 05:40 PM PST Widespread ignorance among cat-owners about the sex lives of their pets may be leading to more than 200,000 unplanned litters -- or more than 850,000 kittens every year in the UK, finds research.  |
| Should your surname carry a health warning? Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:49 AM PST Patients named Brady could be at an increased risk of requiring a pacemaker compared with the general population, say researchers.  |
