Ghiassee, who published a report last year on the threat of radiological terrorism, also criticizes suggestions in some news coverage that the uranium found at Heathrow could have been intended for use in a dirty bomb: “For dirty bombs, you need highly radioactive material … and uranium is not suitable at all.”Nonetheless, British ports of entry screen for all kinds of radioactive substances. However, members of the public often don’t realize that some airports are able to detect even tiny amounts of radioactivity in buildings or cargo-processing areas. Marco Panniello is the sales director for Arktis, a company that makes radiation-detection devices…

Swedish pop artist Zara Larsson is back with upbeat, anthemic new single “Can’t Tame Her,” available today, January 26th via Sommer House/Black Butter Records. The new track has arrived with a cinematic, sci-fi inspired video in which the singer encounters an alternate version of herself and enters a trippy digital world. The synth-laden beat and bright drums keep the energy high throughout, and the earworm chorus for the song, which was co-written by Larsson, Karl Ivert, Kian Sang, and MNEK, demands a replay once the song comes to an end. “No you can’t tame the girl/ Cause she runs her…

A beating heart. A complicated organ that pumps blood around the body of animals and humans. Not exactly something you associate with a Petri dish in a laboratory. But that may change in the future, and save the lives of people whose own organs fail. And the research is now one step closer to that. To design artificial organs you first have to understand stem cells and the genetic instructions that govern their remarkable properties. Professor Joshua Mark Brickman at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) has unearthed the evolutionary origins of a master gene that…

More than 42 million Americans are functionally illiterate; they can’t follow the directions on a can of soup. Millions of students leave grade school with insufficient reading skills to adequately do their work and learn. How and why did this happen?

Dr. Claire Rubman, a cognitive development psychologist and college professor, attempts to address those issues and provide solutions in her new book, This May Be Difficult to Read. She provided more insight in this recent author interview with BookTrib. Watch the full interview here on the BookTrib…

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, together with their colleagues at the Universities of Stockholm and Tokyo, report in a new study in PNAS that larvae of the cabbage white butterfly use two gut enzymes to effectively disarm the mustard oil bomb, the major chemical defense system of their host plants. Cabbage white butterflies appear to be able to target the various glucosinolates, defense compounds of cabbage and related plants, and render them harmless by a finely tuned use of their detoxification enzymes. Using genome editing techniques, the researchers were able to demonstrate the function…

“Is Twitter dying?” billionaire Elon Musk mused in April, five days before offering to buy the social media platform.The reality, according to internal Twitter research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts.

On January 30, James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new architects of the DC Universe in film and television, announced the first ten projects for the brand-new DC Studios. There had been a lot of speculation leading up to this announcement, given DC’s deep catalog of characters and their consistent failure to, um, make good stuff with them. Some of the announcements are unsurprising; some are exciting; some are baffling. So I’m here to break down “Gods and Monsters,” a.k.a. “the first part of Chapter 1 of the DCU” into three categories: the Good, the Bad, and the Bizarre. (Actually,…

This brings me to the next important point: Price is not the only thing to consider when buying on eBay.Know the SellerWe don’t just want the lowest price; we want the best quality item at the lowest price. I’ve found that, unfortunately, photos aren’t a good indicator of product quality. I’ve purchased many items with terrible photos that have turned out to be in excellent shape, and I’ve purchased things with excellent photos that turned out to be junk. (I returned them.)A much better metric to judge the quality of an item is the seller’s feedback rating. A good seller—who…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged Omnibus? I first developed the character of Dr. Cain in my book “Bloody Mad.” In that book, Mercy Brown (a vampire) is committed to an asylum for supernatural creatures. Cain is her doctor. He appears again in The Legend of Nyx series in my book “Bat Shift Crazy.” A while back I sent my readers a poll. I asked them which of my “secondary characters” they’d like to see as the heroes of their own series. Cain won the poll…

LncRNA MIR144HG regulates the antibacterial innate immune mediated by MyD88, TAK1, and p65 by deriving miR-144-3p in fish. Credit: Tianjun Xu MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate almost all biological processes, protein production, inflammatory responses, immune regulation, tumorigenesis and infection. In mammals, the classic formation of miRNA needs to transcribe a long primary miRNA in the nucleus and then process it into hairpin RNA with about 60–70 nucleotides. Eventually, this precursor miRNA will be transported to the cytoplasm for processing and shearing resulting in the generation of mature miRNA. In recent decades, there have been reports of an…

Lyons’ own research takes a similar perspective to Young’s: He investigates whether an alien astronomer observing Earth could have correctly discerned that it’s a life-friendly place. That means inferring the contents of our atmosphere throughout the past 4 billion or so years that our world has hosted life, and then determining whether the levels of biologically derived gases would be detectable from space. (Another team has tried to suss out whether beings on other planets could spot us by using the technique we use to find rocky exoplanets in other solar systems. With the right vantage point, these researchers think, aliens…

When tickets for Bad Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo arena tour went on presale in April 2021, his manager, Noah Assad, was cautiously optimistic. “I thought we would do well, because it was post-pandemic and everyone wanted to go out, but we went on sale without really knowing — and we did it a year out for that very reason,” says Assad. For Assad, “doing well” has become synonymous with breaking some sort of record. But even he wasn’t expecting Bad Bunny to have one of the most historic, record-setting runs for an artist in the history of the Billboard…

The brains of older adults with obesity show patterns of gray matter loss that are strikingly similar to those seen in people with early Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. These patterns overlap in the location of the tissue loss but not in the severity; in other words, Alzheimer’s patients exhibit a far greater degree of brain atrophy than cognitively healthy, obese adults of the same age do.”The degree of the changes is much lower in obesity,” confirmed Filip Morys (opens in new tab), first author of the new study and a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University’s Montreal Neurological Institute. However,…
