| Spiraling Light, Nanoparticles and Insights Into Life’s Structure Posted: 19 Nov 2014 02:48 PM PST As hands come in left and right versions that are mirror images of each other, so do the amino acids and sugars within us. But unlike hands, only the left-oriented amino acids and the right-oriented sugars ever make into life as we know it.  |
| Biochemists build largest synthetic molecular 'cage' ever Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:20 AM PST Biochemists have created the largest protein ever that self-assembles into a molecular cage. Their designed protein, which does not exist in nature, is hundreds of times smaller than a human cell. The research could lead to 'synthetic vaccines' that protect people from the flu, HIV and perhaps other diseases. It could also lead to new methods of delivering pharmaceuticals inside of cells and the creation of new nano-scale materials.  |
| A 3-D, talking map for the blind (and everyone else) Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:16 AM PST Developers have built and tested a new kind of interactive wayfinder: 3-D maps that vocalize building information and directions when touched.  |
