   Yes I understand what you are saying, that the force is going to the outside of the disc, but using even light braking (over minutes or even hours for ultracentrifuging) can disturb a pellet or separation. This is rapidly coming to a compl

   From what I have read, the memristors were the goal but they just aren't ready yet. Rather than wait, they implemented The Machine with what is available now.

   If you have something slung on one side of the tube, it will rapidly want to go to the other side of the tube as the centrifuge switches direction on the reverse spin.

   I'd be suspect about the quality of the centrifuging since it is changing directions on every spin. But I haven't read the paper so maybe they have checked that. I know that when I centrifuge something delicate, even having even

   Yes I agree. It can be frustrating for me to see all the much less important things that humanity wants to invest its resources into these days.

   I work as part of a group looking for agents that target childhood cancers funded by the National Cancer Institute. We look for compounds that selectively target certain childhood cancer cell types while not affecting other childhood cance

   I clicked your link and wanted to hate what you did, but I have to say I really like it.

    As a former Dropbox user, I can't imagine investing in them. For me, their plans are just way out of line with regard to pricing. So out of line that I'm going to go to the trouble of moving all of my stuff to Google Drive or On

    I'm confused about what makes this special. Is it just an image behind an equalizer graphic?

    Since 1 part in 100,000 would imply that one could put a Shuttle up each day for 300 years expecting to lose only one, we could properly ask "What is the cause of management's fantastic faith in the machinery?" I wonder if

    "Eat" is used very inappropriately here. As far as I know the cells aren't burning the nanowires for fuel. A more correct term would be that silicon nanowires can cross a cell membrane through phagocytosis, which I don&#x27

    Do you have any data showing cycling gets people to their destination faster and more efficiently? That sounds like a nightmare to me if implemented in large scale and will always be hampered by the low top speed of a bicycle.

    But on the other side of the coin what if the person made life changes that reduced their chance for Alzheimer's and never succumbed to it? Shouldn't a person have access to that information if they want it? Why should the FDA n

    Oh yep you are right. That article seems to be completely misleading or lying about that. https://twitter.com/walterdebrouwer/status/80910713363551436...

    Do you know if they tried to control for other "healthiness" variables? Someone that goes to the sauna 4-7 times a week might be a person that pays much more attention to their health. I know physical activity was adjusted for b

    What is the FDA's problem with it? I feel like with this sort of thing and the 23andme.com issue that the FDA is being too restrictive about things that really shouldn't even be under their jurisdiction in the first place. For d

    Why did they use the mice with the progeria gene? Wouldn't the results be more impressive in wild-type mice? Were they just trying to get around the 2-3 year lifespan of a lab mouse faster?
