The most common meaning of principle is a law or rule: particularly a moral or ethical rule, a fundamental cultural value, a legal rule or a scientific rule. The word principle is a noun and is never used in any other way, which might help avoid ...

How the 'lone wolf' terrorist networks
2012-08-02
While fear of terrorist attacks overshadows the Olympic Games, the "lone wolf" terrorist is a cause for concern: one who is almost impossible to track by means of the "usual" intelligence and tracking tools. Prof. Gabriel Weimann of the University of Haifa, who has been monitoring terrorism on the Internet for over a decade, has found that most of these individuals do find a "virtual wolfpack" to belong to on the net.
A mounting global threat is of terrorists who act as "lone wolves". Locating and preventing such terrorist activity is more complicated than organizational ...

Kyoto, Japan, Aug. 1, 2012 - A research group at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) at Japan's Kyoto University has successfully recapitulated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated abnormalities in motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) obtained from patients with familial ALS, a late-onset, fatal disorder which is also known for Lou Gehrig's disease. In a drug screening assay using the disease model, the team further found that the chemical compound anacardic acid can rescue some ALS phenotypes in vitro.

A direct look at graphene
2012-08-02
Perhaps no other material is generating as much excitement in the electronics world as graphene, sheets of pure carbon just one atom thick through which electrons can race at nearly the speed of light – 100 times faster than they move through silicon. Superthin, superstrong, superflexible and superfast as an electrical conductor, graphene has been touted as a potential wonder material for a host of applications, starting with ultrafast transistors. For the vast potential of graphene to be fully realized, however, scientists must first learn more about what makes graphene ...
