 Colloquium Dear all,  It is a pleasure for me to announce that the speaker of the  next colloquium  is  Dr Abbas Saberi of Tehran Univ. More information can be found in the textbox to the right. Everybody is welcome to attend. With kind regards, Y. Farzan Speaker Dr Abbas Saberi Affliation Tehran Univ Title of talk Violation of the second law of thermodynamics and its consequences «نقض قانون دوم ترمودینامیک و پیامد های آن»Date and time Wednesday, 4th of Esfand (22th of February), 4:30 pm Place Farmanieh builing, lecture room C IPM Abstract چکیده سخنرانی:    یکی از دلایلی که نقض قانون دوم ترمودینامیک در زندگی روزمره مشاهده نمی شود، خاصیت ظهوری برآمده از آمار بالا است، یعنی وجود تعداد بسیار بالای درجات آزادی از مرتبه عدد آووگادرو. بنابراین ما هیچ وقت، به عنوان مثال، شاهد آن نیستیم که یک مقاومت الکتریکی به یک مدار انرژی بدهد. اما در سیستم های کوچک، افت و خیزهای آماری به شدت غالب می شوند که نقش بسیار تعیین کننده ای در توصیف رفتار سیستم های غیرتعادلی ایفا می کنند. در Cancer Research Aided by NASA's Space Exploration...ادامه مطلب

  NASA will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST) Wednesday, Feb. 22, to present new findings on planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets. The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency's website. Details of these findings are embargoed by the joual Nature until 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST). Media and the public also may ask questions during the briefing on Twitter using the hashtag #askNASA. The briefing participants are: • Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington • Michael Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liege in Belgium • Sean Carey, manager of NASA's Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/IPAC, Pasadena, Califoia • Nikole Lewis, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore • Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge A Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) about exoplanets will be Cancer Research Aided by NASA's Space Exploration...ادامه مطلب

Thought your Inteet speeds were slow? Try being a space scientist for a day. The vast distances involved will throttle data rates to a trickle. You're lucky if a spacecraft can send more than a few megabits per second (Mbps). But we might be on the cusp of a change. Just as going from dial-up to broadband revolutionized the Inteet and made high-resolution photos and streaming video a given, NASA may be ready to undergo a similar "broadband" moment in coming years. The key to that data revolution will be lasers. For almost 60 years, the standard way to "talk" to spacecraft has been with radio waves, which are ideal for long distances. But optical communications, in which data is beamed over laser light, can increase that rate by as much as 10 to 100 times. High data rates will allow researchers to gather science faster, study sudden events like dust storms or spacecraft landings, and even send video from the surface of other planets.

DNA replication is an extraordinarily complex multi-step process that makes copies of the body’s genetic blueprint. It is necessary for growth and essential to life. Now researchers at the Califoia Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Vanderbilt University have found evidence that one of those steps may involve the telephone-like transmission of electrical signals regulated by a chemical “switch.” Conventional telephones convert sound waves into electrical signals that can be transmitted vast distances through wire, and which are then converted back into audible sound at the receiving end. A similar form of communication may be required to achieve DNA replication. Only in this case the telephone wire is DNA and the telephones are unique clusters of four iron and four sulfur atoms within the multi-protein “machines” that copy it in a highly coordinated fashion. This model of replication has not yet been proven. But in a report published this week by the joua Cancer Research Aided by NASA's Space Exploration...ادامه مطلب
