The mystery of how neurons transmit information →
Named after the South Park cartoon character Tweek Tweak, a hyperactive and anxious boy that drinks too much coffee, the protein has been identified and characterised.

New MIT study shows breakdown in Planck’s law →
Heat transfer at small scales can be 1,000 times greater than the law predicts.

What is true about the properties of a single electron does not seem to be the case when electrons are brought together. Instead the like-charged electrons repel each other and need to modify the way…

Nothing; sigh. You’re all following the mocktards aren’t you. Yeah; I’m jaded today.
Was 2655Kbps with the extension lead! Ack.
What line speed are others getting with their ADSL2+? Just switched and am only getting 4155Kbps/955Kbps /after/ removing an extension lead

Yay; my ISP fixed something. Now… to try to break it again. ;-)
Watching United States of Tara and Toni Collette. I had a crush on her after seeing Spotswood. *^_^*
Feeling wired and I still haven’t finished a) watching feynman b) brian cox c) yelled FUCK

The experiments were conducted by precisely tracking the motion of 100-nanometer colloidal beads using fluorescence microscopy. In one series of experiments, the researchers watched as the beads…

Here we evaluate the alternative view that psychological time is represented by multiple clocks, and that these clocks create separate temporal contexts by which duration is judged in a relative…

Generically the probabilities of observational results depend upon both the quantum state and the rules for extracting the probabilities from it. It is often argued that inflation may make our…
caDNAno - Intro →
caDNAno is made for designing DNA origami. caDNAno is open-source software based on the Adobe AIR platform for design of three-dimensional DNA origami nanostructures.

We present the first experimental state-independent violation of an inequality for non-contextual theories on single particles in the spirit of the original Kochen-Specker theorem.
