A cosmic answer to a genetic dilemma

Article Abstract:

An examination of how a mathematical technique used to analyse the birth of the university is being employed to help clinicians in their fight against cancer. Ann-Marie Martoglio, researcher in the reproductive molecular research group of Stephen Smith at Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge, UK, asked David MacKay, reader in physics at the Cavendish Research Laboratory, Cambridge, if he could help rescue useful data from the sea of data in which Smith and his team was drowning. MacKay suggested the use of a method called independent component analysis, which was developed in the 1990s by researchers at the Salk Institute in California.

Elemental urge to show chemicals' attractions

Article Abstract:

John Emsley, writer and chemist, argues, in the light of the publication of his book "Vanity, Vitality and Virility: The Science behind the Products You Love to Buy", that the notion of a chemical-free world is depressing and nonsensical, as chemistry gives us the things that make our life livable, ranging from chewing gum through to the drugs that keep us healthy. He argues that public suspicion of chemicals, which many take to automatically mean something dangerous or toxic, actually threatens the future of chemical research.
