Robotic strawberry pickers could be on the way
Gizmag Share
  
Now that we're moving toward automated orange sorting and autonomous tractors, what might be the next step in replacing human agricultural
workers with machines? Well, how about robotic strawberry pickers? That's what scientists from the U.K.'s National Physical Laboratory say could be on the way, thanks to a system that is able to identify ripe strawberries in the field.

A microdroplet dilutor for high-throughput screening
Nature Chemistry Share
  
Pipetting and dilution are universal processes used in chemical and biological laboratories to assay and experiment. In microfluidics such operations are equally in demand, but
difficult to implement. Recently, droplet-based microfluidics has emerged as an exciting new platform for high-throughput experimentation. However, it is challenging to vary the concentration of droplets rapidly and controllably.

Communicating science
Lab Manager Magazine Share
  
The scientific community has historically taken a dim view of communications with nonscientific publics. No thanks, said scientists. What an imposition! Why bother? What good could possibly come from interrupting research, sticking our necks out and dumbing it down for nonscientific dunderheads, only to see them mismanage our findings?

Erasing signs of aging in human cells now a reality
Science Daily Share
  
Scientists have recently succeeded in rejuvenating cells from elderly donors ages over 100. These old cells were reprogrammed in vitro to induced pluripotent stem cells and to rejuvenated and human embryonic stem cells: Cells of all types can again be differentiated after this genuine "rejuvenation" therapy. The results represent significant progress for research into iPSC cells and a further step forwards
for regenerative medicine.

INX-189 performs well in new study
Drug Discovery & Development Share
  
Pharmaceutical company Inhibitex Inc. said early data from a mid-stage study showed that a 200-milligram dose of its potential hepatitis C treatment did well in reducing the virus in patients. Inhibitex said the dose of the drug, labeled INX-189, was well tolerated, with no serious side effects, when given to patients with a certain form of chronic hepatitis who have not been treated.

Plutonium hitches a ride on subsurface particles
Science & Technology Review Share
  
For decades, Lawrence Livermore researchers have worked to obtain a detailed understanding of the actinides, a group of 14 radioactive elements that includes plutonium and uranium. The
long-standing research is driven by the laboratory's historic roles in assessing the nation's nuclear stockpile, ensuring the safe storage of nuclear waste, and evaluating the fate and transport of radionuclides in the environment.

US to test anthrax vaccine in children ... maybe
New Scientist Share
  
The U.S. National Biodefense Science Board has told the U.S. government that to prepare for a bioterrorist attack it should test a decades-old anthrax vaccine in children, as its effects in the young are unknown. In the event of an anthrax attack, the oral antibiotic ciprofloxacin can save lives by killing anthrax bacteria in the lungs.
