A-bomb trees keep history alive

Posted by in category: military

Oddly enough nearly 50 percent of the trees near the abomb blast in japan survived 😀


In the city of Nagasaki, there are dozens of hibaku trees, or “A-bomb trees” that show scars from the heat and blast of the atomic bombing 74 years ago. People in the city see the trees as eyewitnesses of the attack and take extra care of them.

The two oak trees in Sachiko Yamashita’s garden have long gashes all the way down their trunks. These are the physical scars of the 1945 bombing.

DNA Damage Response

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Illustrated is the power of combined interference with different DNA damage response processes to combat cancer: Homologous recombination, which is selectively deficient in the tumour due to the BRCA defect, and base excision repair of single strand breaks, which is blocked by the administration of PARP inhibitors.

Future computers You WON’T See Coming
(analog computing)

An emerging technology called analogue AI accelerators has the potential to completely change the AI sector. These accelerators execute computations using analogue circuits, which are distinct from digital circuits. They have advantages in handling specific kinds of AI algorithms, speed, and energy efficiency. We will examine the potential of this technology, its present constraints, and the use of analogue computing in AI in the future. Join us as we explore the realm of analogue AI accelerators and see how they’re influencing computing’s future. Don’t miss this engaging and educational film; click the subscribe button and check back for additional information about the newest developments in AI technology.

The Molecular Basis of Life

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education

These animations show cellular biology on the molecular scale. The structure of chromatin, the processes of transcription, translation, DNA replication, and cell division are shown. All animations are scientifically accurate and derived from molecular biology and crystallography research. I have composed this video from multiple animations under fair use for non-profit, educational purposes. I do not claim copyright on this video or its contents, with the exception of the cell image. Most credit goes to Drew Berry and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI TV) for the animations. Full credits are at the end of the video.

How fast is gravity?

Posted by in category: physics

Gravity is the most familiar of the known forces, but it seems to be eternal and unchanging. However, scientists believe that gravity moves with a specific speed. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes a fascinating observation that definitively measures the speed of gravity.
