A team has developed a programming language for chemistry that it hopes will streamline efforts to design a network that can guide the behavior of chemical-reaction mixtures in the same way that embedded electronic controllers guide cars robots and other devices.
Scientists now are finding ways to design synthetic systems that behave like biological ones with the hope that synthetic molecules could support the body s natural functions.
That s roughly 10 times the acceleration provided by the current SLAC linear accelerator. ur ultimate goal for this structure is one billion electronvolts per meter and we re already one-third of the way in our first experimentsaid
Turning the accelerator on a chip into a full-fledged tabletop accelerator will require a more compact way to get the electrons up to speed before they enter the device.

#Yeast reveals secret of hitchhiker mutations It takes a group effort of genetic mutations to give organisms the best shot at evolutionary survival a new study suggests.
These extra mutations are termed hitchhikers because they don t appear to contribute to the enhanced fitness of the organism Our study indicates that evolution is more of a group effort says Gregory Lang an associate research scholar in the laboratory of David Botstein at Princeton university s Lewis-Sigler Institute
Drivers and hitchhikers The finding goes against the traditional view of evolution being determined by individual mutations that provide a large fitness advantage by themselves says Michael Desai a former Princeton fellow who is currently at Harvard university.
The whole group which includes hitchhikers drives adaptation together. The relatively small subset of gene mutations that were found to enhance survival Botstein says suggests that there are only a limited number of ways in
which organisms can substantially increase their fitness. Understanding the basic process in yeast translates to other organisms he says.
and hitchhikers Desai says that additional research is being done to explore which mutations are necessary for adaptation and

That's where DNATRAX comes inoriginally designed for biodefense work DNATRAX was created as a way to simulate germ warfare attacks on indoor and outdoor targets.
