The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Interview with Jack Szostak infinit888 2008-06-20 | You might have seen 'The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis' video by cdk007. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6QYDdgP9eg In it he describes one of the best leading models put forth by Jack W. Szostak et al. This is an interview of Jack W. Szostak discussing his latest paper: "Template-directed synthesis of a genetic polymer in a model protocell". It was published online by Nature, 4 June 2008. http://genetics.mgh.harvard.edu/szostakweb/publications/Szostak_pdfs/Mansy_et_al_Nature_2008.pdf The animations viewed in this video are taken from the website http://exploringorigins.org Check it out if you want to learn more.

Prehistoric Sex & Live Birth infinit888 2009-02-28 | New evidence has been discovered for prehistoric reproduction by internal fertilization and has lead researchers to the conclusion that live birth was much more widespread than has previously been appreciated.The results are presented in the newest nature publication: "Devonian arthrodire embryos and the origin of internal fertilization in vertebrates"John A.

LHC experiment explained infinit888 2008-09-22 | The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. (27km circumference) Latest: Geneva, 20 September 2008. During commissioning (without beam) of the final LHC sector (sector 34) at high current for operation at 5 TeV, an incident occurred at mid-day on Friday 19 September resulting in a large helium leak into the tunnel. Preliminary investigations indicate that the most likely cause of the problem was a faulty electrical connection between two magnets, which probably melted at high current leading to mechanical failure. CERN s strict safety regulations ensured that at no time was there any risk to people. A full investigation is underway, but it is already clear that the sector will have to be warmed up for repairs to take place. This implies a minimum of two months down time for LHC operation. For the same fault, not uncommon in a normally conducting machine, the repair time would be a matter of days.

Complexity and the second law of thermodynamics infinit888 2008-08-05 | In this short clip Peter Atkins professor of chemistry at Lincoln College at the University of Oxford explains the (biological) complexity within our universe in the light of the second law of thermodynamics. Peter Atkins is a prolific writer of popular chemistry textbooks, including Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Molecular Quantum Mechanics, three of the world's most popular chemistry textbooks. This clip was taken from the Beyond Belief 2.0 conference in 2007.
