In addition to the other comment, 73% is counting all grown up germans. The current generation has an university enrollment rate of about 50%. So while many older germans have basically been trained on the job, many younger once wont which

"Worlds first" seems to be exaggerated [1]. Nevertheless this may become very interesting as power2gas becomes commercially feasable with cheap solar power like the 2.4ct/kWh farms in Dubai. Transporting gas from the farm to

From what I heard, peat is a much bigger carbon sink. I mean, if you have multiple meter thick layers of practically pure carbon material covering the land, thats an enourmous amount. I have read something about 30% of carbon stored on 3% o

Well, antithrombin III is produced in goats [1], although it seems generally more effiecent [2] to produce recombinant proteins in pigs as they are closer related to us. Note, that these are recombinant proteins (human proteins produced in

But there is also a nontrivial difference between having living stem cells then and having 100+ year dead feathers now. Plus, Dodos would possible be breeded by transplanting stem cells into eggs which you might be able to ramp up quite eas

Well, get a turkey. I would not be astonished if they where nothing like in the movies in real life. I mean, describtions by sailors have often been found not that reliable...

That depends on how you describe a species. The problem is that the recreated mammoth would probably made from modified elephant DNA, therefore having most of the time the gene order of elephants (while having mammoth gene sequences). It wo

Depends on how specific you are as endosymbiotic theory can be very complicated. For example, the nucleus itself could be regarded as a seperate cell itself (which would be the archea), but what was the sourding cell?

I would not be so sure whether it is really necessary or advantagious to have very long DNA strands as information medium. Long DNA strands are very hard to handle under many conditions (we only got into the range of 1 million bp reads last

What I never understand in these studies is why they always want to go for single base resolution immediately. Sequencing and writing is so expensive because any error you make is a real problem. If instead, every bit was encoded by a defau

Is it fully known yet what minerals can be found on the moon? I thought it is still somewhat unsure what is below the few meteres or regolith.

Well, L1 is not stable anyways so you would also have to correct for that. Also, due to the fixed rotation Moon has mountains of ethernal light that could provide constant solar power. And last but not least, the lower gravity on the moon (

Could not every wind turbine be a wind sensor? Sure, they are not distributed evenly but at least here in europe pretty much all wind rich areas are full of them so they could provide some data that obviously is available as they have to be

Yeah, but taking too much iodine also results in a non-zero probability of side effects (I mean it is already not recommended to take pills for anyone over 45). If there is no real risk assumed, such news would only serve to spread panic an

I am sorry but I disagree. Even if you have the money to fully investigate every patient you may not be able to help them all. You can probably tell better who might have some chance and who is almost lost but aside from that, no sorry, not

Well, no but there are other things that are often forgotten: - Monoclonal cultures are highly suceptible to diseases like this one - there is a much higher pesticide usage associated with GMO fields around the world (for what reason whatso

From my point of view, that is a weak argument. I mean, we also subsidize coal; not because it is cheaper now but because it keeps jobs in our market as you do not buy from outside. I would therefore not be so sure whether it is the best in

I am not a botanist and cannot say from the pictures but that might as well have been a european sweet chestnut, as its outside of the natural range either way and the european is probably more common. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Maybe this is not the right point to ask this but are there any (even) bigger leaks of close-source software that have appeared? I always wondered what would happen if parts of Windows or Google search engine became public.

Well, the seafarers reching Australia/Neuginea 40,000 years ago certainly had a much short distance to travel on the open sea. I can't find any good visualizations now but the difference between about 100 kilometers of open sea an

It is interesting how you say that nuclear might be cheaper and at the same time accept an incident like fukushima every 30 years like you pay 1000 peanuts and that it alright again. Maybe you will allow a nuclear plant in your backyard but

While I like the idea and will probably try it out in January, I think this article takes it bit too easy. The price of the cheapest ticket maybe €22, but by that measure, I was also able to do the same journey for €14.25 with Deutsche Bahn

Why aren't space ports then at higher altitudes but mostly at sea-level like cape canaveral? At the beginning the rocket flies comparably slow, so the lower atmosphere density is not that important, its the speed that is hard.

I do not want to be too picky but I do not think the term gene therapy applies here. A gene therapy is when you give the organism a gene as a treatment, like giving a normal medicine. Here, the genes are included from the beginning and only
