Causes of people becoming radicalised
New post on *Mind Hacks*32875by vaughanbell *Given the horrors of the Paris massacres, *and both mainstream and social media being full of pet theories about what causes people to become radicalised, it's worth revisiting apost on the *Neuroanthropology* blog from last April that hosted anthropologist Scott Atran's talk to the UN Security Council about exactly this. Attran researches radicalisation and why people join ISIS.

Universe model
Massive supercomputer simulation models universe from near birth until today November 2, 2015 [image: Galaxies have halos surrounding them, which may be composed of both dark and regular matter. This image shows a substructure within a halo in the Q Continuum simulation, with "subhalos" marked in different colors.

DNA-copying machinery
First complete pictures of cells’ DNA-copying machinery November 3, 2015 [image: These cartoons show the old "textbook" view of the replisome, left, and the new view, right, revealed by electron micrograph images in the current study. Prior to this study, scientists believed the two polymerases (green) were located at the bottom (or back end) of the helicase (tan), adding complementary DNA strands to the split DNA to produce copies side by side. The new images reveal that one polymerase is located at the front end of the helicase. The scientists are conducting additional studies to e... mais »
