Breaking ground in genome-editing technology
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, business, food
Genomes are the blueprints of living creatures; chromosomes and genes within all our cells encode information about life. Genome editing technology that can change these chromosomes and genes has developed rapidly. From drug development and gene therapy, improvements to crops and livestock, to creating useful microorganisms to replace petroleum, this technology has started to have a significant impact on our societies.
Professor NISHIDA Keiji (Graduate School of Science, Technology and Innovation) has developed a new genome editing technology and established a business venture based on his research findings. He is on the front lines of genome editing in both business and research.

What’s the Latest in CRISPR Gene-Editing Technology?
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
Featuring research from the Doudna laboratory, the University of Harvard and the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation, this round-up piece discusses the latest research advancements in CRISPR technology.
For years, C130 fullertubes—molecules made up of 130 carbon atoms—have existed only in theory. Now, leading an international team of scientists, a UdeM doctoral student in physics has successfully shown them in real life—and even managed to capture some in a photograph.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Dimensions
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: transportation
What’s up with the fourth dimension? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore the dimensions, worldlines, and what it would mean to be 4D.
Learn about time and space and how we navigate through both. What would a 2D world be like for two-dimensional people? We break down what it’s like for 3D beings to interact with the second dimension and what it would be like for 4D beings to interact with the third dimension. Plus, we discuss flying cars and whether we already have them.

New cataclysmic variable discovered by astronomers
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: physics, satellites
By analyzing the data from ESA’s XMM-Newton and Gaia satellites, astronomers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) in Germany and elsewhere have detected a new magnetic cataclysmic variable system, most likely of the polar type. The finding was reported in a research paper published March 21 on the pre-print server arXiv.

Gravitational waves may have made human life possible
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biological, physics
Could it be that human existence depends on gravitational waves? Some key elements in our biological makeup may come from astrophysical events that occur because gravitational waves exist, a research team headed by John R. Ellis of Kings College London suggests.
