Architeuthis Dux: Release The Kraken - Onto Video

Science2.0 - March 20, 2013 - 2:46pm

The giant squid is extremely rarely seen but remains are found in the formalin or ethanol collections of various museums.

 An international team has learned that no matter where in the world they are found, giant squid are so closely related at the genetic level that they represent a single, global population - despite previous statements, they are a single species worldwide. In 1857 the Danish naturalist Japetus Steenstrup determined that this beast was the same animal that gave rise to centuries of sailors' tales about monsters in the deep, later immortalized by writers such as Jules Verne and Herman Melville. He gave it the name Architeuthis dux.

Science2.0 - March 19, 2013 - 8:16pm

“…there is no authoritative definition of the sense of humor, and it is also not yet clear what ‘laughing at oneself’ is, or if it even actually occurs in people’s everyday behavior.”

Type 2 Diabetes: The Search For An Epigenetic Fix

Science2.0 - March 19, 2013 - 2:29pm

Type 2 diabetes has a strong hereditary component, and while we can't change the genes we were born with, if epigenetics says a father eating a Twinkie before conception can lead to bad grades for the child in high school, why can't we modify the function of the genes through the epigenetic changes that take place in the course of life?

Cuprate Superconductors - Where Are The Missing Electrons?

Science2.0 - March 19, 2013 - 2:19pm

While there are still plenty of mysteries in electromagnetics, electrical engineers are sure of one thing; current is carried through materials by flowing electrons.

 In physics, Luttinger's theorem states that the number of electrons in a material is the same as the number of electrons in all of its atoms added together. Much-studied conducting materials, such as metals and semiconductors, have held true to the idea.

The Boson Quandary

Science2.0 - March 19, 2013 - 1:42pm
Here I vow to never "reblog", but exceptionally I will break that rule, translating from Italian a very nice article recently appeared on the Italian newspaper "Il Sole-24 Ore". The author is the INFN President, Fernando Ferroni. The reason why I break the rule is that the piece is quite clear and many of you may enjoy it. [The article transcript was taken from here]
