The author documents astonishing scientific accomplishments of Egypt and offers a glimpse of this science. The author begins the discussion by revealing the significance of the Ankh as a spiritual icon and symbolically, the highest representation of life. A more stylized version is seen today in Christianity, but the Ankh, the original cross, was/is considered an important "key" with electromag...

The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to William C. Campbell, Satoshi Omura, and Youyou Tu for the discovery of avermectins and artemisinin, respectively, therapies that revolutionized the treatment of devastating parasite diseases. With the recent technological advances, a New Golden Age of natural products drug discovery is dawning.

Since Richard Feynman and his famous talk “There’s plenty of room at the bottom” in an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech in 1959, Nanotechnology has led to the development of novel materials and devices with a wide-range of applications, especially in imaging, diagnostics, and therapy, which contributed to the early detection and treatment of cancer and metastasis (Ferrari, 2005; Con...

Data sharing in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is becoming a common scientific practice, as is now common in the case of other, more mature 'omics' disciplines like genomics and transcriptomics. We want to highlight that this situation, unprecedented in the field, opens a plethora of opportunities for data scientists. First, we explain in some detail some of the work already achieved, ...

K9 crisis comfort dogs Beau (front) and Dolly sit with grieving residents of Newtown, Connecticut, during a recent community meeting. The pair is part of a nine-dog team of golden retrievers sent with their volunteer handlers to Newtown after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School late last year. The dogs are also employed after natural disasters, and to bring comfort to nursing home pat...

Gravity drives the evolution of the Universe and is at the heart of its complexity. Einstein's field equations can be used to work out the detailed dynamics of space and time and to calculate the emergence of large-scale structure in the distribution of galaxies and radiation. Over the past few years, it has become clear that cosmological observations can be used not only to constrain different...

The ability of micro-organisms to develop resistance to the action of inhibitors has been known since the discovery of antimicrobial agents. The first reports were concerned with agents such as Salvarsan and Prontosil in the early 1900s; the phenomenon of ‘fastness’ to these agents was observed frequently during treatment with the drugs. Following the development of the sulfonamides in the 1940...

This post, however, argues that “going dark” is the wrong image. Instead, today should be understood as a “golden age of surveillance.” Compared with earlier periods, surveillance capabilities have greatly expanded. Consider three areas where law enforcement has far greater capabilities than ever before: (1) location information; (2) information about contacts and confederates; and (3) an array...
