Grains de blé résistants à une maladie, obtenus à partir d’une enzyme provenant d’une bactérie fabriquant naturellement des antibiotiques Le génie génétique (ou ingénierie génétique[1]) est un ensemble de techniques, faisant partie de la biologie moléculaire et ayant pour objet l’utilisation des connaissances acquises en génétique pour utiliser, reproduire, ou modifier le génome des êtres vivants. Il a souvent pour but la modification des génotypes, et donc des phénotypes. Historique[modifier | modifier le code] Au début du XXe, la redécouverte des travaux de Mendel (1822-1888) et les travaux de Morgan (1866-1945) sur des mouches permettent de comprendre que l'hérédité est due à la transmission de particules appelés gènes, disposés de manière linéaire sur les chromosomes.

EDC KooNDeLLiTcH² Microsoft pushes out preview build of Internet Explorer 10 (update: Windows on ARM!) Happy with your shiny new copy of Internet Explorer 9? It's already out of date -- Microsoft just announced Internet Explorer 10 at its MIX developer conference in Las Vegas, and if you're running Windows you can grab a spoon right now and sample an early taste. You can download the new Platform Preview right now at Microsoft's Test Drive site and see where the company's going with this early iteration, which adds support for additional web standards like CSS Gradients and CSS3 Flexible Box Layout. According to the press release, a gentleman named Dean Hachamovitch just revealed the new browser on the MIX stage, but we're actually watching him speak right now, and... he's not quite there yet. We'll let you know what he says. Update: Video after the break! Update 3: Oh, Dean, you're such a tease -- that copy of IE10 (and by association, Windows) was running on a 1GHz ARM chip! Update 4: NVIDIA just tweeted that the mysterious ARM chip is in fact a Tegra 2 processor. Comments

Federated Media Publishing The Society of Petroleum Engineers New Solar Powered Coffee Roaster by David Hartkop My brother and I own a business called Solar Roast Coffee. As the name suggests, we are in the business of roasting coffee using solar power. To this end, I have built four generations of solar concentrators (like giant magnifying glasses) that focus sunlight to create heat for roasting coffee. The coffee we've been able to make by this process thus far has been wonderfully aromatic, dark, and never bitter, so we're sticking to it! We are in the process of creating our fifth-generation machine, the Helios 5. The machine will be a miniature version of the so-called "power tower" systems used for generating electricity in the deserts of California and Spain. Our project will lay the groundwork for others who can then freely use the technology for business, industry, and humanitarian purposes.
