Stem cell potential: Can anything make anything?

Recent results suggest that stem cells from one tissue can give rise to cells from developmentally unrelated tissues. These results strongly support the idea that certain progenitors retain much broader developmental potentials than expected, and other progenitors may be able to acquire broader potentials in culture.

Anything Goes

Representing OT hierarchies in terms of weighted sums of violations requires in the general case exponential growth of weights; and any such weight system will only work for finite fragments of grammars in which the quantity of violations incurred by optima does not grow without bound (typically, those fragments in which input size is bounded). This conclusion is based on a worst-case analysis,...

Synthesis and patterning of nanostructures of (almost) anything on anything

A necessary and very challenging condition for progress in nanoscience is being able to synthesize the requisite material. While there has been substantial success for some materials, one would like to develop protocols to fabricate structures of a wide variety of materials on an equally wide range of supports, preferably with size selection and the ability to pattern on large areas at low cost...

Internet of Anything

T he Internet of Things (IoT)1 is a network of networks in which a massive number of objects, sensors, or devices are connected through the ICT infrastructure to provide value-added services. The IoT connects people and things anytime, anyplace, with anything and anyone, ideally using any path or network and any service (although other definitions have also been proposed2). By 2020, 50 to 100 b...
