| Scientists discover what extraordinary compounds may be hidden inside Uranus and Neptune Posted: 06 Sep 2016 07:31 AM PDT Scientists have discovered that the depths of Uranus, Neptune and their satellites may contain extraordinary compounds, such as Carbonic and Orthocarbonic acids (the latter also known as Hitler's acid).It is no accident researchers have chosen these planets as a subject for their research. These gas giants consist mainly of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, which are the three cornerstones of organic chemistry. |
| Was a researcher just served a world first CRISPR meal? Posted: 05 Sep 2016 08:47 AM PDT For (probably) the first time ever, plants modified with the "genetic scissors" CRISPR-Cas9 has been cultivated, harvested and cooked. D professor in Plant Cell and Molecular Biology served pasta with "CRISPRy" vegetable fry to a radio reporter. Although the meal only fed two people, it was still the first step towards a future where science can better provide farmers and consumers across the world with healthy, beautiful and hardy plants. |
| New genus of bacteria found living inside hydraulic fracturing wells Posted: 05 Sep 2016 08:45 AM PDT Researchers analyzing the genomes of microorganisms living in shale oil and gas wells have found evidence of sustainable ecosystems taking hold there -- populated in part by a never-before-seen genus of bacteria they have dubbed 'Frackibacter.' |
| Earth's carbon points to planetary smashup Posted: 05 Sep 2016 08:45 AM PDT Research suggests that virtually all of Earth's life-giving carbon could have come from a collision about 4.4 billion years ago between Earth and an embryonic planet similar to Mercury. |
