Dark red nail polisher works like a charm to (semi)permanently turn bright blue LEDs into dim red ones.
Plenty of mutations are already produced by faulty copying. This is how viruses mutate. An early organism would have very error-prone RNA copying. How would the cosmic rays, producing a tiny effect on top of this, be…
Or this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acerinox_accident In May 1998, a caesium-137 source managed to pass through the monitoring equipment in an Acerinox scrap metal reprocessing plant in Los Barrios, Spain. When…
That does not seem a good paper. The only references on biology are quite generic books. Also the stated hypotheses are quite unfounded. As far as I know, there is barely any evidence of biology using quantum phenomena…
Also not all DNA mutations produced by DNA damage are equally common, and some of the redundancy lessens their deleterious effect.
What about HIV? 10 years "incubation" period and 100% mortality. If it was as contagious as the flu it would have killed almost 100% of the human population. Isn't it a scary thought?. It is not the only virus. Rabies,…
In the east coast of Spain we have had great weathee (25+ degrees celsius) and it didn't seem to greatly influence transmission speed :(
Physical books have their advantages. Specially when reading technical books you find yourself going back and forth way too often to read a digital copy. Also no need to worry about batteries, less eye strain, etc. In…
I'm sorry for your loss. When something bad happens I often find myself going back to Carl Sagan's words on the Pale Blue Dot [0]. Puts everything in perspective, and makes everything feel insignificant, when compared…
My tv remote works with lights on, why wouldn't LiFi?
If it is a name it gets capitalized. If it is an adjective derived from the name (abelian, cartesian, euclidean, ...), it depends on the language, the author and the literature around the word.
Nice idea! I would appreciate a warning from the author specifying whether dbg evaluates its argument twice, as if so one must be careful with side effects when using it.
I recently had this problem in an old Samsung phone. The spam was not directly coming from email, but from some other installed app which was somehow tricking S planner (Samsung's calendar app) into adding the events to…
C++17 includes the [[fallthrough]] attribute built into the language to disable the warning [1]. [1] https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/attributes/fallth...
You have to fix the hypotheses to test before you begin the experiment, as otherwise you will stumble upon a lot of spurious correlations. That your birthday is the same day than someone's in your class/work group is a…
Vaccines do well for diseases for which your natural immunity can protect you from them after you've created antibodies. HIV works the other way: the virus lets you create antibodies and then it wins the fight by hiding…
For complex analysis the book by Churchill -written for engineers- is a very down to earth introduction with lots of examples and applications to resolution of integrals and PDEs. In the case of set theory I cannot…
I'm no expert, but there are many papers from 10 years ago where they identified a signaling gene whose concentration was not being raised enough for the neighboring cell to divide and replace the hair cell, and it was…
Auditory hair cells in the inner ear -the ones that allow us to hear sound- do regenerate in many animals but this mechanism fails in mammals. The surrounding cells try to replace them but something goes wrong and they…
Looking at something behind the screen (if transparent) or reflected on the screen (if slightly reflective) should do the trick.
It did change! In fact now smoking is prohibited near schools and inside bars and clubs. Some people smoke, but not almost everybody as before.
The biggest issue is that gene editing techniques are not perfect yet, and the danger of introducing bad mutations at other places in the genome is real. Once the gene editing techniques work 100% of the time with no…
The unstable point is at the top of the crest. You would need a vacuum chamber with dampened vibrations to have any chance of it standing there, as any small deviation from a perfectly balanced position would make it…
