post from Canadian BioTechnologist2.0 on 30 April 2012 03:36:14 PM. © Canadian BioTechnologist2.0

A synthetic mixture of intestinal bacteria could one day replace stool transplants as a treatment for Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). C. difficile is a toxin-producing bacteria that can overpopulate the colon when antibiotics eradicate other, naturally protective bacteria living there. “A synthetic stool transplant has a lot of potential because we can control what goes [...]

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to
destroy the sun.

The Sun is feisty. Rising and falling packets of ionized gas (called plasma) below its surface generate fierce magnetic fields, which store vast amounts of energy. This can give rise to such features as sunspots, explosions like flares and coronal mass[...]
