And it was described by one researcher as ‘a defining moment of new paradigm in biology’.Craig Venter, the U.S. scientist behind this experiment, said the achievement heralds the dawn of a new era - an era in which new life is made to benefit humanity, starting with bacteria that churn out biofuels, that soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as a solution to the global warming, and ...

of wisdom to existing pages. “When we first noticed it, we thought it was a blip,” says Dr. Ed Chi, a computer scientist at California’s Palo Alto Research Center. But Wikipedia peaked in March 2007 at about 820,000 contributors. The site hasn’t seen as many editors since. “By the middle of 2009, we realized that this was a real phenomenon,” says Dr. Chi. “Wikipedia is no longer ...

He began to ponder the need for a nonlethal weapon.Jack Cover recalled his favorite book of childhood adventure story ...
discovered a huge magnetic belt what are now known as the Van Allen radiation belts, named for the University of Iowa scientist Dr. James Van Allen, launching the new discipline of space science. Explorer 1 was followed in March by the Navy’s Vanguard 1, 6 inches in diameter and weighing only 3 pounds. NASA’s birth was directly related to the launch of the Sputniks and the ensuing race to ...
준수의 중요성을 일깨워준 사건으로 평가된다. In August, the South Korean government barred disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk from resuming his research into cloned human embryonic stem cells. Hwang has been on trial for more than two years on charges of breaking the law on research ethics and for misusing 2.8 billion won ($2.8 million) in state funds and private donations. ...
all is not well outside of GreenVille. Dr. Pollution is watching with jealous eyes. Dr. Pollution used to be a good scientist, but during a chemical experiment it altered his brain. 초록마을은 살기좋은 아름다운 마을이에요. 사람들은 자연과 어울려 살지요. 마을 사람들은 재활용을 하면서 환경을 보호해요. 고그린맨은 초록성에 살고 ...
생활을 시작했는데 1995년 2월부터 2004년 8월까지 직함이 ‘리서치 사이언티스트’(Research Scientist)였다. 리서치 사이언티스트는 지도교수가 이끄는 실험실에서 연구에만 전념하는 ‘직업 연구자’이다.그러나 서 교수는 1991년부터 지도교수의 일을 돕는 것뿐 아니라 독자적인 실험계획을 세우고 ...
액체가 끓고 있다. 비밀스러운 음모가 진행중이다. 그는 바로 ‘미치광이 과학자’(mad scientist)다. 미치광이 과학자는 영화라는 장르의 탄생과 함께 수많은 SF 호러물에 단골 소재로 사용돼 왔다.예로부터 사람을 놀리는 도깨비 불과 도마뱀 혓바닥, 염소의 피를 섞어 신비의 물약을 만들어내는 마법사 ...
관해서는 다시 한번 생각해볼 필요가 있다. 1993년 영국의 ‘뉴 사이언티스트’(New Scientist)는 과학자를 상대로 설문조사를 벌였다. 이 조사에서 응답자의 6-9%는 자신의 동료 중에서 데이터를 표절하거나 조작한 연구논문을 과학 학술지에 게재한 사실을 알고 있다고 밝혔다. 그리고 최근 노벨 ...
