Stupid science – Reductionists think they can solve something Biologists are unable to crack

Posted on December 27, 2010 by rndsync

The fight with Cancer has now been going on for several decades. Slowly but steadily scientists (biologists) are understanding and getting good picture of cancer, how it progresses, what signals and genes it suppresses to prevent detection and apoptosis. However, … Continue reading →

Do we differ from Chimpanzees in genetic make up?

Posted on December 17, 2010 by rndsync

The popular answer has been that the difference is tiny and we share 98% of the genome with Chimpanzee. However, it’s important to see where these differences lie even though it’s only 2%. In genetics, even a few 1000 base … Continue reading →

Alternative to Phosphorus based life found or synthesized? Big deal!

Posted on December 3, 2010 by rndsync

Arsenic’s atomic number is 33 and Phosphorus’ is 15. They share the same column in periodic table which means their chemical composition is similar. NASA found that bacteria which is very adaptable when deprived of Phosphorus in an Arsenic rich … Continue reading →

Energy crisis?

Posted on October 22, 2010 by rndsync

in bacteria that is! Why can’t (or won’t) bacteria which are single celled organisms (parkaryotes) join together to form complex molecules or multicelled organisms (eukaryotes)? The reason is lack of specialized battery for supplying the huge energy requirements of complex organisms. It’s … Continue reading →

Fluid dynamics as a way to study quantum mechanics?

Posted on October 21, 2010 by rndsync

Recently, Yves Couder, a physicist at Université Paris Diderot, has conducted a series of experiments in which millimeter-scale fluid droplets, bouncing up and down on a vibrated fluid bath, are guided by the waves that they themselves produce. In many … Continue reading →

This wonderful life – evolution and complexity

Posted on October 21, 2010 by rndsync

This is a wonderful article that reiterates that complex systems are hard to predict and small changes in initial conditions have huge and unexpected impact on the long term state of the system. Read through it. I always like the … Continue reading →
