SLAS ELN Reports: Dino Di Carlo — Connecting Science Fiction, Science Fact and Science Future
SLAS Share
  
Lured into science by fiction stories filled with ingenious feats of genetic engineering, SLAS2016 Co-Chair and JALA Reviews Editor Dino Di Carlo, Ph.D., later pursued bioengineering because of its opportunity to touch the future with today’s research.
"I think science fiction impacts a lot of scientists," Di Carlo says. "It's about imagining what is possible. There's a lot of power in how we could engineer life. I wanted to be part of the positive aspects of what that could mean."

Data Sharing: Greater Than the Sum of All Parts
SLAS Share
  
SLAS2016 keynote speaker Michael Gottesman explains U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) policies for data sharing to accelerate the discovery process.
"When scientists can draw on huge repositories of research data, the discovery process is enhanced in ways not possible if they simply added up all the findings of individual studies," says NIH Deputy Director Gottesman in The NIH Catalyst. "Scientists can explore a wider range of research questions; improve the reproducibility and validation of research results; dig deeper into research questions than perhaps was done by the originators of the data; and advance the innovation of methods and tools for research."
Gottesman’s SLAS2016 address is Monday morning, Jan. 25.

How Chemistry Is Helping Physicists Detect Neutrinos
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
To learn that neutrinos have mass, this year's Nobel Prize in Physics recipients, Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald, had to first detect the subatomic particles in huge, liquid-filled underground tanks. The rock above these subterranean facilities filters out most cosmic rays bombarding Earth, allowing scientists to observe small, chargeless neutrinos.
During the experiments for which they were honored, Kajita and McDonald merely used water as a detection medium at Japan's Super-Kamiokande and Canada's Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, respectively.

Decades Old DNA Replication Models Called into Question
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
  
It may be time to update biology texts to reflect newly published data from a collaborative team of scientists at Rockefeller University, Stony Brook University, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. Using cutting-edge electron microscopy techniques, the investigators gathered the first ever images of the fully assembled replisome, providing new insight into the molecular mechanisms of replication.

Stem Cell Similarities
The Scientist Share
  
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, reprogrammed from adult differentiated cells, reportedly behaved differently from one another in myriad studies. But these functional differences between cell types may not be as drastic as previously thought, according to a team led by Konrad Hochedlinger of Harvard University, which published its findings in Nature Biotechnology.

Study Reveals Structure of Tuberculosis Enzyme, Could Offer Drug Target
Phys.org Share
  
A team of scientists, including several from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, have determined the structures of several important tuberculosis enzymes, which could lead to new drugs for the disease.
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, has proved incredibly stubborn even in the age of powerful antibiotics, infecting about one third of all people worldwide.

Application of Mass Spectrometry in the Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Nanoclusters
Analytical Chemistry Share
  
In recent years, mass spectrometry has been widely used in the characterization of metal nanoclusters. In this feature, we first give an introductory tutorial on mass spectrometry and then highlight the versatile applications of mass spectrometry in accurately analyzing core size, atom-level composition, charge states, etc. of metal nanoclusters and size evolution during synthesis. Finally, some perspectives on the future applications of mass spectrometry in nanocluster research are given.

Junk DNA Kept in Good Repair by Nuclear Membrane
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
  
Heterochromatin has the dubious distinction of being called the "dark matter" of DNA, and it has even suffered the indignity of being dismissed as "junk DNA." But it seems to get more respectful treatment inside the nucleus, where it has the benefit of a special repair mechanism. This mechanism, discovered by scientists based at the University of Southern California, transports broken heterochromatin sequences from the hurly-burly of the heterochromatin domain so that they can be repaired in the relative peace and quiet of the nuclear periphery.

New Computational Strategy Finds Brain Tumor-shrinking Molecules
Bioscience Technology Share
  
Patients with glioblastoma, a type of malignant brain tumor, usually survive fewer than 15 months following diagnosis. Since there are no effective treatments for the deadly disease, University of California, San Diego researchers developed a new computational strategy to search for molecules that could be developed into glioblastoma drugs. In mouse models of human glioblastoma, one molecule they found shrank the average tumor size by half.

Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cell Achieves Record Efficiency
Science Daily Share
  
Organic-inorganic perovskite materials are one of the biggest surprises in solar cell research. In just six years, the efficiency of perovskite solar cells has increased five-fold; moreover, perovskite solar cells can be manufactured from solution and be cost-effectively printed on large areas in the future.
Because perovskite layers absorb light in the blue region of the spectrum very efficiently, it is useful to combine these with silicon layers that primarily convert long-wavelength red and near-infrared light.

Chemist Discovers Way to Isolate Single-Crystal Ice Surfaces
Lab Manager Share
  
A Tufts University chemist has discovered a way to select specific surfaces of single-crystal ice for study, a long-sought breakthrough that could help researchers answer essential questions about climate and the environment. "Ice crystals are ubiquitous and could hold the answer to some very important, fundamental questions about our environment, but until now we haven't had the tools to reliably reproduce ice crystal faces in a lab for study," said Mary Jane Shultz, PhD, professor of chemistry in the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University.
