Electrons are so identical that if you swap one electron with another anywhere in the universe, nothing changes—they are fundamentally indistinguishable. This led physicist John Wheeler to propose the mind-bending idea that all electrons might actually be the same single…

How far are we from "protein printers" that enable anyone to make a protein of any sequence on-demand in a couple hours? I'm imagining a box that takes a protein design from a computer and then physically makes it on a bench or desk. This isn't yet feasible. It's still…

Chemistry writes the story of life. Every cell, every second, it tells it again - powered by molecular design. At the core of this process lies the citric acid cycle, the central hub of metabolism. Here, acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, or proteins enters a precise…

I built a biologically inspired spiking neural network from scratch and it learned with %5 accuracy to do addition :) There is no backpropagation, no artificial loss functions - just spikes, synapses, and dopamine-like reward signals. it uses STDP -> "Spike-Timing-Dependent…

Some people say nanotechnology is not achievable. But it already exists - biology is nanotechnology. The bacterial flagellar motor is a perfect example. It’s a biological nanomachine, only a few dozen nanometers across, built from precisely arranged proteins that form a rotary…

Above is a bacterial flagellar motor. Below is a quantum computer. Do with this what you want.

Many people think of proteins as having a biological function — catalyze reactions, detect pathogens, etc. At a higher level, though, proteins are programmable materials. They are an advanced form of nanotechnology, made from templates that we can read and write and understand.…

A study from 2021 suggests that the Etruscans were genetically the same as their Mediterranean neighbors—and argues that their culture and language were holdovers from an even earlier era. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/48UmwnX

"Validation and centralization are very related. The costs and risks of validating gold caused people to outsource validation to third parties. Gold became centralized in vaults and that added trust to the system" @NickSzabo4 on the history of money @TheBitcoinConf #bitcoin

We often assume that an organism carries the same genome within all of its cells. But in many cases — from nematodes to hagfish, lampreys to songbirds — the truth is far messier. At least 100 species are known to do something called “programmed DNA elimination,” in which large…
