Nano-Probes Stay Inside a Cell's Nucleus for Days
Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) have developed fluorescent and stable nano-probes which can stay inside a cell's nucleus for hours or even days. According to this LBL news release, this will help biologists to better understand nuclear processes that evolve slowly, such as DNA replication, genomic alterations, and cell cycle control. This research was partially based on previous investigations about quantum dots. Now, the researchers want to tailor their quantum dots, which emit different colors depending on their sizes, to check specific chemical reactions inside nuclei, such as how proteins help repair DNA after irradiation. Read more for other details and references and to see how a nano-sized probe is entering a cell's nucleus."
Pervert.
Or midichlorians?
I for one, welcome our new nanobot overlords.
In Soviet Russia, you stay inside nanobot!
1) Create nanobots cabable of staying inside people
2) ?????
3) Profit!
All your nanobots are belong to us!
GREY GOo
I would've posted as myself, except i'm still working hard to get up to a normal karma level again :P
:P
I'm thinking a bunch of fairly recent moderators would mark it troll immediately.. and the only time i want a post marked as Troll is when it's at +5

In Korea, only old people put all the lame jokes in one comment.
1/3 of jokes get modded OT. If you get the joke, mod 1 in 3 insightful/interesting/underrated to restore karma balance.
WTF?
If you are willing to moderate something, at least know what you are moderating
Mitochrondia are essential to any cell. And yes, they do replicate, and yes, they do have DNA, and yes, they are fucking important.
Mods on crack.
Kickbacks, perhaps?
A noble sacrifice of karma, my friend. However, I choose not to join you in no mod point land.

What is the concern with this blog? It's the absolute dearth of original information.
Let's look at the composition of a few recent blog entries, in characters:
Entry Excerpts Link Wrapper Self-written
Nanotech Swarms 2280 910 670
Nano-Probes 2185 767 1053
Toilets 1206 787 1006
Note that most of the "self-written" portions are vapid statements such as "But where is nanotechnology involved in this project?"
So, we have 52% of the text coming from plagiarism, ~ 23% of the text coming from introducing / pointing out links, and ~ %25% of the text coming from saying the obvious. That's the problem with the blog.
The technique used on the site is barely better than the spam search engines that link to (and excerpt from) Wikipedia.

i think that sums it up,
shame on the editors for such obvious spam , i gues integrity is dead
maybe we can feature articles from other spammers too ?, why write your own stuff when you can just copy and paste someone elses ?
its pretty obvious the editors dont give a shit and are more willing to side with a spammer than their own readers, no wonder nobody subscribes to this s(h)ite and blocks the adverts, two can play at the revenue game
so any other sites where real geeks can get their news ? because frankly im done with this spam fest
but this guy's so prolific it makes me wonder what he's doing right.
Its called money.

Anal-Probes Stay Inside a ...
wake up, wake up !

...These are not the nano-probes you are looking for ...
You sure it's not blowjobs? Roland has those oh-so-pouty lips, and Samzenpus can lie back and imagine it's Eugenia.
though it was listed as a side item: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/2 0/0149205
You said it was only a microprobe before I left you.

Insightful? INSIGHTFUL?
Everyone's going to make arse and anal probe jokes on this one, but, when I'm inside my Kombi I feel like I'm a probe floating inside a cell.

Offtopic? Blah, of course it's not, I mentioned probes didn't I? Consider it more of an opinion piece :).
These "girlfriends" ... do they really exist?
I always thought this was some kind of urban myth.
The Truth About Roland Piqawhatever.
And with all the fun drugs travelling around clubs, they would probably start mutating themselves again..

The potential for airplanes to go wrong and do something bad is still there. That is the problem.
If you have a technology that can move people quickly around the globe, what's to say that a mistake couldn't happen that would cause the plane to crash into the ground or even into buildings? That is the fear. Also, as the technology advances, it may become possible that diseases are spread just as quickly from one area of the world to everywhere.
On today's topic, I'm not afraid of what they are doing currently, but the direction will scare many people.
