  1. Re:You probably don't know much about MS. on Nanoparticles Stop Multiple Sclerosis In Mice · · Score: 2

    Replying due to lack of mod points, but with good karma which will hopefully lead more people to the parent until it gets probably modded up.

  3. Re:Not quite on Nanoparticles Stop Multiple Sclerosis In Mice · · Score: 1
    The article does also say this, in the first paragraph, but premably due to some over-excitement by a journo:

    halt disease progression in mice with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).

    Also:

    The article does not claim that this works for MS, just a disease similar to MS.

    FTFY :) After all, MS is a member of the set of diseases similar to MS.

    It does if other countries have different defintions of "child" - for example. Also, not that I have any reason to disbelieve, but a source would be good.

  22. I'm confused, or ill-informed on Everspin Launches Non-Volatile MRAM That's 500 Times Faster Than NAND · · Score: 2

    Everspin has announced that it's shipping the first 64Mb ST-MRAM in a DDR3-compatible module. These modules transfer data at DDR3-1600 clock rates, but access latencies are much lower than flash RAM, promising an overall 500x performance increase over conventional NAND.

    Wait, so, is this to replace RAM (the mention of DDR3) or to replace drive storage?

    These modules transfer data at DDR3-1600 clock rates, but access latencies are much lower than flash RAM

    Isn't that comparing apples (DDR3) and oranges (flash RAM)?
