Business Vision and Mindset

When your business vision and the reality in which you live are miles apart, it may not be for the reasons you believe. Lack of money and time are the most typical issues that soloists cite for the mile-wide gap between vision and reality, but as they progress in coaching they discover that the true missing pieces are clarity, strategy and an empowering mindset.

The next computer: your genes

(PhysOrg.com) -- "Human beings are more or less like a computer," Jian-Jun Shu tells PhysOrg.com. "We do computing work, and our DNA can be used in computing operations." Shu is a professor at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Nanyang Technical University in Singapore. "For some problems, DNA-based computing could replace silicon-based computing, offering many advantages."

How Biometrics Helped to Identify the Master Terrorist

When the U.S. military attacked Iraq in March 2003, it brought to bear the most advanced technology then available for identifying potential terrorists by their physical features. The equipment measured all sorts of physical features--from fingerprints to images of the retina--but it was not particularly easy to use.

Theoretical physicists offer explanation of how bacteria might generate radio waves

(PhysOrg.com) -- Four theoretical physicists, led by Allan Widom, of Northeastern University, have published a paper in arXiv, where they show a possible way for some bacteria to produce radio waves. Taking note of the fact that bacteria DNA forms in loops rather than the familiar helix seen in humans, Widom, et al, describe a process whereby free electrons that flow through such a loop by hopping from atom to atom, wind up producing photons when energy levels change.

Life Is Complicated: Systems Biology Untangles Old Mysteries [Video]

For more than a century biologists made great strides in understanding the complex tapestry of life by tracing the smaller and shorter threads in its many patterns. This reductionist approach, which breaks complicated processes into their component parts to understand them better, has produced extraordinary advances. We take it for granted, for example, that DNA molecules--and not proteins--carry our genetic information, but that was a matter of huge debate and study in the early 20th century.
