• Miniature Aircraft USA Debuts the Whiplash 700EX at IRCHA
  The completely redesigned Whiplash 700EX has been fine tuned to enhance performance and reduce maintenance. The helical drivetrain provides a smoother, quieter gearing system and the side-by-side battery mounting system allows for a wider range of flight battery sizes to be used while retaining a perfect center of gravity.

• Carlos Bustamante in AScribe (press release)
  DNA's helical structure implies that twisting and stretching should be coupled, hence the prediction that DNA should unwind when stretched,said biophysicist Carlos Bustamante, who led this experiment. "That is why it was such surprise when...

  When you examine the structure of usual alpha-helical membrane proteins, they look like a big disk of protein that snakes back and forth through the membrane. But when you look at the voltage-dependent potassium channel, you see the pore embedded...
