Itching brain. Gods becoming mice.
Itching is a highly contagious behavior. When we see someone scratch, we're likely to feel itchy, too. A research shows contagious itching is hardwired in the brain. For this study, Chen's team put a mouse in an enclosure with a computer screen. The researchers then played a video that showed another mouse scratching. "Within a…

Mapping the genome. The illusion of “dimensions”…
Cells face a daunting task. They have to neatly pack a several meter-long thread of genetic material into a nucleus that measures only five micrometers across. This origami creates spatial interactions between genes and their switches, which can affect human health and disease. Now, an international team of scientists has devised a powerful new technique…

Superconductivity. Intrinsic abilities. Alchemy. Being.
Scientists activated the intrinsic ability of graphene to superconduct (carry an electrical current with no resistance). Before that, superconductivity in graphene has only been achieved by doping it with, or by placing it on, a superconducting material - a process which can compromise some of its other properties. But in the study (published on January),…

Why religion is important!
Do you believe religion is outdated? Think again! Harmonia Philosophica analyzes in a few pages not only why religion is important today, but why it is of the uttermost importance ESPECIALLY today! In the era of scientism, in the cold universe of materialism, the warmth of religion focused on man is what we need... Find…

Knowing. Bacteria’s memory (x 100). Humans…
Researchers have identified a mutation that prompts bacterial cells to acquire genetic memories 100 times more frequently than they do naturally. This discovery provides a powerful research tool and could bring scientists one step closer to developing DNA-based data storage devices. (1) We insist on making the cosmos a big computer. We want to make…
