NABsys scientists, in close collaboration with scientists at Brown University, are developing a proprietary platform to build solid state, electrically addressable nanopore arrays that can sequence DNA without amplification or labeling. This Hybridization-Assisted Nanopore Sequencing platform combines nanopore sequencing with sequencing-by-hybridization (SBH) to create what NABsys believes will be the lowest cost, fastest whole-genome sequencing …
Proton-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration in a computer simulation accelerate electrond bunches to 500 GeV in 300 meters of plasma. Compare that to the proposed $7 billion International Linear Collider (ILC), which will need at least nine miles to hit the same target, and SLAC’s linear accelerator, which needed 10 times the distance to reach a tenth …
The International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran now has amassed a stockpile totaling one ton of uranium which could easily be made into weapons-grade material with further purification. In their first assessment of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme since Barack Obama became US president, atomic inspectors disclosed that Tehran’s leaders understated by a third …
I never really liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot. I understand why it is very popular and what innovative things they have done. Plus many of the actors have good acting ability and several are very attractive. The technical quality of the show and its effects are top notch. The show and the series has had …
BC Business has extensive Dwave System [Quantum Computer maker] coverage. 30 generations of quantum computing machines have been made by D-Wave Systems Inc., the makers of the world’s first commercial quantum computers. DFJ backed such projects as Skype and Hotmail, and started investing in D-Wave in 2003. Jurvetson, who now sits on D-Wave’s board, believes …
