Cell splits water via sunlight to produce hydrogen

This reminds me of the old electrolysis demonstration, but on an energy efficient level."Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a unique photocatalytic cell that splits water to produce hydrogen and oxygen in water using sunlight and the power of a...

Discovery may herald new RNA therapeutics

Very recently in the Journal Nature...British scientists have taken an important step toward preventing tumor growth by finding a way of switching off a gene involved in cell division. The Oxford University researchers say the mechanism involves a form of ribonucleic acid, or...

Gene Synthesis Gets Cheaper

"A new method for synthesizing specific DNA sequences could revolutionize the production of genes in the laboratory (Nature, 23 Dec 04, Vol. 432, No. 7020, pp. 1050-1054). The technique, which uses programmable 'DNA microchips', looks set to slash the current cost of gene...
