From Inner Earth to Outer Space
On a cold day in February 2001, a spacecraft landed on 433 Eros, an asteroid between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The spacecraft had completed its five-year journey to investigate fundamental questions about the nature and origin of near-Earth objects for the first time. The technical demands of the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous NEAR-Shoemaker (NEAR) mission were immense. A multidisciplinar...
متن کاملMetagenomic ventures into outer sequence space
Sequencing DNA or RNA directly from the environment often results in many sequencing reads that have no homologs in the database. These are referred to as "unknowns," and reflect the vast unexplored microbial sequence space of our biosphere, also known as "biological dark matter." However, unknowns also exist because metagenomic datasets are not optimally mined. There is a pressure on researche...

متن کاملBlasting Off on an Actin Comet Tail
Cells have structure and the ability to move, thanks in part to the actin cytoskeleton, a dynamic cellular scaffolding that facilitates many cellular processes. Actin is mostly concentrated near the outer membrane of the cell, where it is involved in such processes as the formation of membrane protrusions at the leading edges of migrating cells, the movement of certain intracellular vesicles su...
متن کاملSpam Zombies from Outer Space
How can better email worms be created? How can spyware claim more victims? How can better spam be sent? It turns out that these three questions are all related. We look at the future threat posed by email worms, spyware, and spammers that use zombie machines in a new way: sophisticated data mining of their victims' saved email. The end result skirts many defenses, and could trick even experienc...
