Pyrophosphite: The possible energy source of early life

News: Origin of Life    May 28, 2010
A study by Dr. Terry Kee and associates at the University of Leeds (U.K.) and published in the journal Chemical Communications framed their research question this way: Scientists argue about the origin of life in many different ways, especially about which came first – replication or metabolism. Did the early forms of life, simple cells [...]

Nanotube transistors powered by the body’s own energy source

News: Body Implants    May 12, 2010
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the ultimate energy of life. It’s the energy source that powers almost all living cells. Now, in research conducted by Alexandr Noy and colleagues at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (California, USA), ATP is also an energy source for carbon nanotubes transistors that can eventually be used to link living tissue [...]
