Einstein on the Common Language of Science in a Rare 1941 Recording“Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem — in my opinion — to characterize our age.”BY MARIA POPOVA What makes Albert Einstein endure as “the quintessential modern genius” isn’t merely his monumental contribution to science but also his unflinching faith in the human spirit and in our civilizational capacity for good even in the face of undeniable evil. At the peak of WWII — exactly a decade after his little-known correspondence with W.E.B. Du Bois on racial justice and exactly a decade before his letter to a ... mais »

Virus are alive
Study of protein folds adds to evidence that viruses are alive and ancient Scientists estimate there are more than a million viral species, but less than 4,900 viruses have been identified and sequenced October 1, 2015 *[+]* The diverse physical attributes, genome sizes and lifestyles of viruses make them difficult to classify. A new study uses protein folds as evidence that viruses are living entities that belong on their own branch of the tree of life. (credit: Julie McMahon) Viruses are actually living entities that share a long evolutionary history with cells, researchers report in... mais »

Glue, instead of needle and fil
Maria Pereira's surgical glue could completely revolutionize modern medicine Wherever Maria Pereira goes these days—her office in Paris, a conference in Boston, or back home to Portugal—she carries around a thumb-size vial of glue. That vial, a good-luck charm, may contain the solution to one of surgery’s oldest problems: how to seal wounds and holes in the body without damaging the body itself. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks faced the same dilemma, and coarse stitches from catgut and silk were their method of choice. The modern physician relies on a more refined technique of suturi... mais »
