Agriculture: Gray Mold's Killer Gene Discovered

Gray mold is a gardener’s nightmare. The fungus, also known by its scientific name Botrytis cinerea, is a scourge to more than 200 agricultural and ornamental plant species, including staples such as tomatoes, strawberries, snap and lima beans, cabbage, lettuce and endive, peas, peppers, and potatoes. Gray mold envelops its target in a velvety vise, releasing a toxin that poisons the host plants’ cells, eventually causing the plant to die.

Brown chemist finds gray mold's killer gene

Cane and colleagues in France and Spain have identified the DNA that gives gray mold its lethal power over useful plants and have devised a way to control the mold naturally.

Bat syndrome's telltale white nose-mold new to science

A little brown bat's moldy white nose marks it as suffering from the recently described white-nose syndrome that's killing hundreds of thousands of hibernating bats in New England. Researchers now know that the white fungus is a novel Geomyces form.

Open Source: Broken Model Or Breaking The Mold?

Much of the analysis of open source business models seems schizoid: it's either the greatest thing since sliced bread or the worst thing since ... you get the idea. The truth is of course somewhere in the middle, but in what form?

Ig Nobels Salute Stranger Side Of Science

What do studies on potato chips, puzzle-solving slime mold and jumping fleas have in common? Each was awarded an Ig Nobel prize this year by the editors of the humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research.

Nanomanufactured polymer film could lead to lower-cost solar cells

A self-assembled solar cell begins with one of two polymers forming a gyroid shape while the other fills in the space around it. The inner polymer is dissolved away to create a mold that is filled with a conductor of electrons. The outer polymer is t ...

New route to self-assembling, low-cost solar cells

A self-assembled solar cell begins with one of two polymers forming a "gyroid" shape while the other fills in the space around it. The inner polymer is dissolved away to create a mold that is filled with a conductor of electrons. The outer polymer is then burned away, the conductor is coated with a photosensitive dye, and finally the surrounding space is filled with a conductor of positive "holes." A solar reaction takes place at all the interfaces throughout the material, and the interlocking gyroid structure efficiently carries away the current.

Young engineers start work: Robotic designs must meet Youth B.O.T. ?game? rules, challenges.

Decker co-founded Youth Building Our Tomorrow, or Youth B.O.T., four years ago in the hopes of bringing robotics and engineering back from their 1980s heyday and into the mainstream through competition and the classroom. Now, he's using the platform to help mold the league's student-builders into well-rounded scholars.

Legendary (Xbox 360)

When a first person shooter bungles moving and shooting, what does that leave room for? Great reloading? A potent save system? Awesome menus? Legendary is not a good game nor is it a so-bad-it's-good one. Its premise is sound enough: let loose a myriad of mythical brutes into our modern-day world and throw in a diabolical tyrant intent on ruling the earth. You at least have potential for a fun camp classic in the Clash of the Titans mold, but instead of delivering anachronistic thrills, Legendary piles poor gameplay mechanics onto overused shooter cliches, drying up all the juicy possibilities and leaving a dull, lifeless husk in their wake.
