   Thanks for posting this, fascinating and promising work! Is "Knowledge graph" the hip new way of saying "semantic web"? or is it fundamentally different?

   Or... they could be chaining polymerases to tiny tuning-forks to tune the speed and fidelity of DNA replication... sounds pretty cool! From a patent granted to Anita Goel / Nanobiosym: https://www.google.com/patents&#

   Regardless of the corporate claptrap, if we give Nanobiosym the benefit of the doubt and assume their geneRADAR platform does advance the state of the art in qPCR, microfluidics, and point-of-care diagnostics, what might that advance be? It

   "Nanobiosym" is living up to its namesake with the nano-level of technical information provided in their press releases about their "revolutionary" GeneRADAR(R) platform. Plenty of hype, though (from their "Nanobios

   Similar lens-free "computational photography" techniques have been described for super-resolution microscopy (see below). In conventional imaging, lenses resolve a sharp image of the target onto the sensor by focusing just the lig

    I couldn't find any peer-reviewed publications by the researchers cited in the press releases by speakdolphin.com and cymascape.com - Jack Kassewitz and Jim McDonough et al. However, I did find several scholarly articles that support t

    I agree that much of their content has a "new-agey" feel, but that's not sufficient to discredit the particulars of the claims they are making about dolphin communication. It's conceivable their new-agey motivations for
