‘We have entered the age where the human genome is a real drug target.’

Straight from the world of aquatic sports to the cosmic realm.

Some 70 years later, we are still relying on air friction, heatshields, and parachutes and landing at sea more often than not. A change could boost the commercialization of LEO.

This new see-through wood alternative to glass has better heat-insulating properties to reduce your cost of heating and cooling.

– Maine Coon Central

With so many people questioning the Maine Coon’s mysterious origins, it’s not surprising that bizarre queries like, ‘Is a Maine Coon Part Raccoon?’ have been asked!

Scientists have determined how a particular gene makes night vision possible. The study focuses on a gene called nyctalopin. Mutations in the gene result in inherited “night blindness,” a loss of vision in low-light environments.

Scientists found new evidence this year that muons may behave in a way that defies existing physics. Their magnetism may be caused by a new, fifth force.

Proteins are structured like folded chains. These chains are composed of small units of 20 possible amino acids, each labeled by a letter of the alphabet. A protein chain can be represented as a string of these alphabetic letters, very much like a string of music notes in alphabetical notation.

Protein chains can also fold into wavy and curved patterns with ups, downs, turns, and loops. Likewise, music consists of sound waves of higher and lower pitches, with changing tempos and repeating motifs.

Lazzarini.

The standout feature is, of course, the arc, or “hole deck” as Lazzarini calls it, which can be customized to each seafarer’s needs. Accessible via a door at the vessel’s bow, the sprawling space is ideal for lounging and is fitted with steps down to the ocean for requisite dips.

Shape is crowned by a glass-bottom infinity pool situated on the upper deck. It allows the swimmers above to look down on those below (or vice versa). Here, you’ll also find a helipad to facilitate the comings and goings of those onboard. At the stern, meanwhile, there is a waterside beach club with a diving platform, plus a garage for toys.
