As pesquisas científicas que poderiam abrir caminho para essa prevenção ou esse extermínio são muito lentas, enquanto o micro-organismo mórbido opera em velocidade máxima. Médicos e pesquisadores científicos já jogaram a toalha: reconhecem sua impotência, ao menos momentânea, ante o inimigo invisível e socorrem-se da estratégia de esconder-se dele, aguardando a descoberta da arma adequada para ...

The lost diaries of war Ilvy Njiokiktjien for The New York Times Anne Frank’s famous diary was one of thousands written by Dutch people during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. After the war, many were collected at a national archive, but most accounts never surfaced again. Now, the Dutch have started an effort to transcribe the handwritten or typed pages into digital documents, to post on the archive’s website. The voices of the forgotten diarists, filled with anxiety, isolation and uncertainty, resonate powerfully today.

Nature’s Bioterrorist Is there any way to prevent a deadly avian-flu pandemic? By Michael Specter February 21, 2005 Early last September, an eleven-year-old girl from Kamphaeng Phet, a remote village in Thailand, developed a high fever, a severe cough, and a sore throat. She lived with her aunt and uncle in a one-room wooden house—not much more than a hut on stilts. The family had fifteen chickens, which wandered freely beneath the plank floor, where the young girl often played and slept. Then, at the end of August, the chickens died. Within days, the girl was sick, too. Her aunt too...

Water

What even is water Water is unlike most other liquids on Earth: it has at least 66 weird properties, including high surface tension, high heat capacity, high melting and boiling points and low compressibility. Some chemists have come to think of it as not being one liquid at all, but two distinct liquid phases that co-exist in a mixture. “We can’t fill a glass of two kinds of water types, but there have been some experiments which have indirectly seen these sorts of transitions,” says mathematician and modeller John Russo.
