Folding@home researcher Greg Bowman was awarded the 2010 Kuhn Paradigm Shift Award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) for his talk on two paradigm shifts resulting from Folding@home:Folding@home: New award for Folding@home team
1) the new methods that Folding@home uses to simulate protein folding, misfolding, etc, and
2) the results themselves, which suggest a significant change in protein folding theory.
Mozilla released Firefox version 3.6.2 which fixes the following critical issue found in previous versions of Firefox 3.6:Mozilla Firefox 3.6.2 Security Update ~ Security Garden
Fixed a critical security issue that could potentially allow remote code execution (see bug 552216).
Earlier this month, IBM and the Scripps Research Institute announced a major breakthrough in the fight against HIV/AIDS. World Community Grid — which supplied researchers with more than 109,000 YEARS of computation time over a five year period — was a major factor in this groundbreaking success. Now, there is hope for a new class of drugs to help the more than 33 million people who are infected worldwide.
(ITHACA, NEW YORK) -- What is described as “a wave of suicides” at Cornell University in the past two semesters is a serious "public health crisis," according to the school's mental health initiatives director Timothy Marchell who added the school was “not out of the woods yet.”
The Ithaca New York Police Department reported four student suicides during the fall 2009 semester, and at least two over the last two months.
Blogger!Call it the final frontier: the semiconductor industry has finally figured out how to embed silicon chips inside living cells.
The continuing miniaturization of the fabrication process — we’re now at 22 nanometers — has allowed Spanish researchers to begin integrating nanoelectronic components with living cells, according to a Nanowerk report.
Until now, scientists have only been able to embed living cells in nanoelectronics. Now technology is small enough to perform the reverse.
The 10 MW Tower in Dubai is quite a renewable energy machine. The skyscraper is pumping out 10 times the amount of energy it needs and is exporting power to the surrounding neighborhood.
Studied Impact, the architects behind the 10 MW Tower, note that the tower has three energy producing systems: a horizontal axis wind turbine, a concentrated solar power armature and an updraft tower.

The LHC is already over a week into its 2010 run, and the start of physics at 7 TeV is just around the corner. Last week, participants at the annual La Thuile workshop in Italy had the chance to take stock of what lies in store for the LHC’s first physics run. They learned that there’s a great sense of anticipation here at CERN and at particle physics labs around the globe, and for good reason – we’re about to open up the biggest range of potential new discovery that particle physics has seen in over a decade.
Such changes aren't unheard of.
The magnitude 9.1 earthquake in 2004 that generated a killer tsunami in the Indian Ocean shortened the length of days by 6.8 microseconds.
On the other hand, the length of a day also can increase. For example, if the Three Gorges reservoir in China were filled, it would hold 10 trillion gallons (40 cubic kilometers) of water. The shift of mass would lengthen days by 0.06 microsecond, scientists said.
