We know the menagerie of microbes in the gut has powerful effects on our health. Could some of these same bacteria be making a home in our brains?
China is going where no one has gone before–the farside of the Moon. At 2:23 am on Dec. 8th (local time in Sichuan province), a Long March 3B rocket blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, propelling a lander and rover toward the lunar farside. Zhou Kun photographed the launch: “I took the picture only

What’s the creepiest thing you’ve encountered on your travels? If you’re very, very lucky, it might have been a cryptid.

The key to the improvement is keeping device components high and dry
Using as little as 1 picogram of purified DNA sample (think 2.5 trillion times lighter than a penny), scientists at the University of Brisbane have developed a method that permits the swift detection of cancer DNA in a patient sample of cell-free DNA, which circulates systemically. These researchers took advantage of the finding that cancers have drastically different patterns of methylation on their genomic sequences than normal cells. These endow the DNA with unique physical properties, including the way in which it can bind to gold nanoparticles. Using this system, a color-change of a mixture comprised of DNA, gold nanoparticles, and a salt solution is the readout for presence or absence of methylation patterns that are indicative of cancerous DNA.
