Primos de 5a geração
Visita, no último dia 2 a meu primo José Antônio Brenner em Santa Maria. Formou-se comigo em 1952 no Colégio Santa Maria e havíamos nos encontrado pessoalmente só na festa dos cinquenta anos 2002. mas felizmente mantivemos comunicação virtual todo esse tempo, quando através dele descobri nosso parentesco. Esta história temos publicado em várias oportunidades e pretendo recolocar oportunamente os links logo abaixo. Mas somos descendentes do mesmo tronco Johan Friedrich Böbion, viuvo, professor em Niederlinxweiler, aqui chegado em 1828 com duas filhas Henriette Katherine e Maria Kath...mais »

Molecules in virtual Reality
Discovering new drugs and materials by ‘touching’ molecules in virtual reality [image: To figure out how to block a bacteria's attempt to create multi-resistance to antibiotics, a researcher grabs a ligand (a binding molecule) that simulates a type of penicillin called benzylpenicillin (red) and interactively guides that molecule to dock within another enzyme (blue-orange) molecule called beta-lactamase, which is produced by bacteria in an attempt to disable the penicillin (by making a patient resistant to a class of antibiotics called β-lactam).

At that point, the range of risks starts to increase. But by age 105, the death risk actually levels off — sugges... mais »

Planet's birth
First sight of a planet being born For the first time, astronomers have observed the birth of a giant planet. The newborn, called PDS 70b, can be seen directly in images taken using the SPHERE camera on the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Although PDS 70b is 113 parsecs (370 light years) away, astronomers can tell that it is bigger than Jupiter, orbits as far from its sun as Uranus does from ours and is probably covered in clouds of some kind.
