One of the most common sights we see these days, is that of people with their mobile phones next to their ears. A boon for better communication, cell phone usage nonetheless has many health hazards. Various studies indicate that the emissions from a cell phone can be extremely harmful, causing genetic damage, tumors, memory loss, and increased blood pressure and weakening of the immune system. This is alarming information, and one has to take into account all these factors..

THE DAWN OF SCIENCE



It is a fact that seven thousand years ago, the man had hands, eyes and brain as good as those of a man today. But how ever they made use of is little evident. Lack of records of that period make a study not possible.
Recorded evidence is  of course available of Egypt and Mesopotamia five of six thousand years ago. These must have been done by the wise priests, who studied  movement of stars, Metallurgy, medicine and whatever else that was thought wisdom.
 Of every  period, volumes can be written on what men wanted  to know and how he learnt. Indeed, it must have been great inquisitiveness that made man  watch night after night, without any suitable instrument, such as, a telescope, the slow change in the position of stars etc. He was very thoughtful  to connect the appearance of new stars with the changing seasons.  Ultimately, Astronomy, the science of planets and stars, was born. Water clock and sand clock where invented to measure time . Marking  time is a very significant step in the field of science, as it marks the prime theory of nature and its regularity.

Projects


The field of synthetic biology
The field of synthetic biology is rapidly
growing and evolving as it establishes itself
in the scientific community. Consequently,
the emergence of synthetic biology has been
increasingly reported in the press of different
countries. At this early stage, it is worthwhile
to note that the coverage of synthetic
biology varies from country to country;
with some countries emphasizing potential
risks or benefits, others focusing on future
applications, and still others examining the
social and ethical concerns that might arise as
the technology is developed.



BioHydrogen Generation by Genetically Engineered
Microorganisms

Engineering a Direct Pathway for Hydrogen Generation


James Swartz, Professor, Chemical Engineering; Alfred M. Spormann, Associate
Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Geological and
Environmental Sciences; Chia-Wei Wang, Postdoctoral Researcher, Chemical
Engineering; and Marcus Boyer and Keith Gneshin, Ph.D. Candidate Graduate
Researchers, Chemical Engineering
Introduction
The longterm goal for this project is to develop efficient and economical technology
for the biological conversion of solar energy into molecular hydrogen. The first portion
of the project (Part I) seeks to develop an organism/bioreactor system employing a
genetically engineered organism that is effective in the DIRECT conversion of sunlight to
hydrogen. The organism will use a shuttle protein, ferredoxin, to transfer electrons from
the reaction of water photolysis to the hydrogenase enzyme.
The following diagram (Figure 1) shows that this pathway is simple and short and
therefore offers attractive conversion efficiencies. The photosystem of a bacterium
such as Synechocystis captures sunlight and splits water to generate molecular oxygen,
protons, and mobilized electrons. These electrons are transferred to an electron carrying
protein, ferredoxin. We propose to introduce into the cyanobacterium a new hydrogenase
enzyme that will accept the electrons from ferredoxin and combine them with the protons
to make molecular hydrogen. However, the first and major problem is that existing
hydrogenase enzymes are inactivated by molecular oxygen. Thus, the initial focus is to
evolve a highly active hydrogenase to be resistant to inactivation by molecular oxygen.
