Genes reveal clues about people's potential life expectancy

Scientists say they can predict whether a person can expect to live longer or die sooner than average, by looking at their DNA. Experts have analyzed the combined effect of genetic variations that influence lifespan to produce a scoring system. People who score in the top ten per cent of the population might expect to live up to five years longer than those who score in the lowest ten per cent, they say. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190115124442.htm

New effect in the interaction of plasmas with solids discovered

If a plasma comes in contact with a solid, under certain circumstances the surface is changed fundamentally and permanently. Researchers have now discovered a surprising effect, in which the electronic properties of the solid material, such as its electrical conductivity, can be changed in a controlled, extremely fast and reversible manner, by ion impact. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190115132859.htm

Antarctic ice sheet could suffer a one-two climate punch

Variations in the axial tilt of the Earth have significant implications for the rise and fall of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, the miles-deep blanket of ice that locks up huge volumes of water that, if melted, would dramatically elevate sea level and alter the world's coastlines. New research matches the geologic record of Antarctica's ice with the periodic astronomical motions of the Earth. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114114237.htm

Einstein-de Haas effect has a central role in ultrafast demagnetization processes

The Einstein-de Haas effect, first demonstrated more than a century ago, provides an intriguing link between magnetization and rotation in ferromagnetic materials. Researchers have now found that the effect has also a central role in ultrafast processes that happen at the sub-picosecond timescale -- and thus deliver fresh insight into materials that might form the basis for novel devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190115162325.htm

Mathematical model can improve our knowledge on cancer

Researchers have developed a new mathematical tool, which can improve our understanding of what happens when cells lose their polarity (direction) in diseases such as cancer. The result is advancing our understanding of how the fertilized egg cell develops into a complete organism. Biological shapes, like individual organs or an entire body, can be reproduced or maintained with great accuracy, just like in the embryonic development or during the adult stage. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190115124456.htm

Power stations driven by light

The smallest building blocks within the power stations of organisms which get their energy directly from the sun are basically miniature reactors surrounded by collectors which capture photons and forward them to the center. The close correlation between structure and interaction of the components boosts productivity, a strategy which researchers are using for increasing the efficiency of solar technology. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190115132856.htm
