RNA Breakthrough Transforms Ideas of Gene Control
• arcleinTiny chemical changes that do not alter the sequence of our DNA but modulate how it works have been found to act on a new part of our genetic machinery. The discovery could provide insights into many health problems, including obesity.
Sasquatch Linage Identified
• arcleinIn this essay, however, I am positing that there is also a close correlation of the Sasquatch to a more ancient member of the genus Homo - the family of man - based on the fossil record. Most of the more ancient fossils of hominins and hominids
Ancient Walking Question Deepens

Dream Science
• arcleinWhy do some people have nightmares while others really spend their nights in bliss? Like sleep, dreams are mysterious phenomena. But as scientists are able to probe deeper into our minds, they are finding some of those answers. Here's some of wha
Does Death Exist?
• arcleinAccording to Biocentrism, space and time are not the hard objects we think. Wave your hand through the air – if you take everything away, what’s left? Nothing. The same thing applies for time. You can’t see anything through the bone that surrounds yo
Remote Viewing

Chromosomes Organize into Yarns
• arcleinThe scientists have shown that chromosomes fold in a series of contiguous "yarns" that harbor groups of genes and regulatory elements, bringing them in contact with each other and allowing them to work in a coordinated manner during development.
Technology Max Out over Next Generation We Know About
• arcleinLarger and more integrated cities, a new wave of robotic automation, robotic driving, terabit broadband and new energy could boost GDP by over three times what they would otherwise be over a twenty year period. Global GDP growth could get into the 12
Controlling Quantum Tunneling With Light
•This marriage is fated because the light is in the form of cavity photons, packets of light trapped to bounce back and forth between mirrors which sandwich the electrons oscillating through their wall. Research scientist Peter Cristofolini added
Evolution Plays the Queen of Spades
• arclein"A common assumption about evolution is that it is directed toward increasing complexity," said Erik Zinser, associate professor of microbiology. "But we know from analysis of microbial genomes that some lineages trend toward decreasing complexit
Persistence of Coal?

Metallic Hydrogen as Propellent
• arcleinAtomic metallic hydrogen, if metastable at ambient pressure and temperature could be used as the most powerful chemical rocket fuel, as the atoms recombine to form molecular hydrogen. This light-weight high-energy density material would revolutionize
Crystal Structure of Archael Chromatin Clarified
• arcleinIn eukaryotes, proteins known as "histones" package and order DNA into a compact protein-DNA structure called chromatin. Archaea, in contrast, have no such universal chromatin proteins, instead using two or more DNA-binding proteins to package DN
Star Trek Universal Translator Arises
