Nanoparticles can turn off genes in bone...

October 5, 2020

Using specialized nanoparticles, MIT engineers have developed a way to turn off specific genes in cells of the bone marrow, which play an important role in producing blood cells. These particles could be tailored to help treat heart disease or to boost the yield of stem cells in patients who need stem cell transplants, the researchers say. This type of genetic therapy, known as RNA interference, is usually difficult to target to organs other than the liver, where nanoparticles……

‘Ursus’ in Trieste, Italy

October 5, 2020

During the early 20th-century, the growing port of Trieste needed a new crane to construct larger and heavier ships. Between 1911 and 1914, the crane-vessel Ursus was built by the Austrian Empire, who were in control of the city at the time. After World War I, Trieste became part of the Kingdom of Italy. At the time, the crane was just an empty shell without an engine. Between 1925 and 1931, the structure was completed and now stands at……

African Heritage House in Athi River,...

October 5, 2020

Overlooking Nairobi National Park, the African Heritage House is an architectural gem dedicated to African art.

Wheeler Geologic Area in Creede, Colorado

October 5, 2020

High in the La Garita Wilderness sits a once-popular, but nearly forgotten, otherworldly landscape formed by one of the most massive volcanic explosions in the earth’s history. Around 25 million years ago, a volcano exploded in the southern Colorado Rockies. It ejected approximately 1,200 cubic miles of material into the atmosphere that covered most of Colorado. The eruption was so massive, that the exact range of the ash fall is still unknown. The tuft, known as Fish Canyon Tuft,……

October 5, 2020

| Entrepreneurship

LeBron James powered into the lane, looking to take another step toward an NBA title. Instead, he took too many steps. James was whistled for traveling, ending a possession that could have given the Los Angeles Lakers a fourth-quarter lead. A couple minutes later, he did it again. In the time of the game when he usually turns it up, James turned it over Sunday night, part of a sloppy performance by the Lakers in a 115-104 loss to…

October 3, 2020

| Entrepreneurship

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s startling COVID-19 diagnosis serves as a cruel reminder of the pervasive spread of the coronavirus and shows how tenuous of a grip the nation has on the crisis, health experts said. With U.S. infections rising for several weeks, Trump became one of the tens of thousands of Americans who test positive each day. He went through a “very concerning” period Friday and the next 48 hours “will be critical” in his…

For Wildlife, Disposable PPE Is Far From...

October 2, 2020

In October 2020, a walk through a New England park might lead you past a battalion of busy squirrels, a smattering of leaves just beginning to redden or yellow, and a trail of discarded, single-use masks. Public spaces today are littered with crumpled face coverings and tattered disposable gloves. The cast-offs look like limp, oversized confetti the morning after New Year’s. They’re leftovers of a long, agonizing affair that no one wanted to attend. After more than six months……

How we make moral decisions

October 2, 2020

Imagine that one day you’re riding the train and decide to hop the turnstile to avoid paying the fare. It probably won’t have a big impact on the financial well-being of your local transportation system. But now ask yourself, “What if everyone did that?” The outcome is much different — the system would likely go bankrupt and no one would be able to ride the train anymore. Moral philosophers have long believed this type of reasoning, known as universalization,……
