Controlling the First Steps of Life: Scientists Find New Epigenetic Switch

『V』๐šƒ『B』Casts┋
In the embryonic development of vertebrates, 5-formylcytosine activates genes. Professor Christof Niehrs and his team at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, have identified a DNA modification known as 5-formylcytosine (5fC) as an epigenetic switch that activates genes during the early stages of embryonic development. This finding proves for the first time [...]

Munich-based artist Daniel Engelberg has spent years building his Inside Out series, involving layered works of wood, acrylic, and resin that play with light, depth, and geometry. They’re meditative, hypnotic pieces, often spanning entire walls. Now, through a collaboration with Belgian watchmaker Ressence, his art has been distilled to an entirely different scale: the watch face. The [...] The post Ressence’s Watches + Daniel Engelberg’s Art Makes For a Beautiful Combination appeared first on Moss and Fog. http://dlvr.it/TMmFH6

A quantum processor has revealed a previously unobserved exotic phase of matter. The discovery highlights the role of quantum computers in advancing fundamental physics. Phases of matter describe the fundamental forms materials can take, such as water existing as liquid or ice. Traditionally, scientists have defined these phases under equilibrium, when a system remains stable [...] http://dlvr.it/TP46wz
