Four points, galaxy center to galaxy center and cell wall to cell wall, give us a huge amount of information.
FORBES: Density Of Meaning: Creation As The Flip Side Of Memory
It is also possible to trace neural pathways from cell to cell.
Like a key in a lock, EGF binds to a receptor on a cell's surface, sending off a signal to the cell to divide, grow and die.
This is an artificial molecule that binds to and disables the molecular messengers a gene sends out into the cell it inhabits, to tell that cell how to make the protein that the gene encodes.
Scientists using this method seek to persuade the cell to "forget" its current status and go back to the original stem cell state it was in during its time in the embryo.
When illuminated, these "opsin" proteins change the flow of electrically charged ions within the cell, to help the cell turn light into energy or as a sensory cue.
WSJ: Scientists Cast Light Onto Roots of Illness Deep in the Brain
Ask attendees who are not dialing in on a cell phone to place their cell phones on mute and keep them away from the telephone, as this can cause a loud buzzing noise.
FORBES: Career Boot Camp: 5 Tips To Lead Effective Conference Calls
Other booster enhancements that have been proposed to the FCC include proximity detection to prevent cell tower signal overload and bi-directional signal amplification, which would improve signal transmissions from cellphones back to cell towers.
Employers and employees alike rely on cell phones to stay connected: in fact, many employers issue cell phones to their employees to do so.
"The human brain is sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones, but for the brain to be impacted, the cell phone has to be close to the head, " Volkow said.
Boeing has suggested an electrical insulator that wraps around each battery cell to isolate each cell from each other and the battery case.
This ordinance amends the city's controversial Cell Phone Right to Know Act, a similar but more cumbersome law passed last year that required cell phone retailers to post and distribute radiation information for every make and model of cell phone they sell.
"We knew that the virus has about eight hours in a cell to create enough copies of itself to continue spreading before the cell's antiviral alarm would be set off, " he said.
First came the remarkable work of Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University, who showed it was possible, by activating just four genes, to take a mature cell (he used a bit of skin but other cells would work) and turn it into the equivalent of an embryonic stem cell with the potential to become any other cell in the body of mouse or human.
Other Intelligent Energy world's firsts in recent years include the development of the world's first hydrogen fuel cell motorbike and supplying the fuel cell system to Boeing which powered the world's first manned fuel cell aircraft.
ENGADGET: UK's first fuel cell-powered black cab hits the streets of London
Earlier this month, Daimler, Ford and Nissan re-upped their commitment to the lead-off batter for the Periodic Table of the Elements by announcing a pact to develop a common fuel cell system that could lead to affordable fuel cell cars by 2017.
Sir Ian and his team fused the genetic information from an adult sheep cell nucleus with an egg cell to form an embryo that developed into a genetically identical copy of the original adult.
No automaker has yet to offer a fuel-cell-powered car for sale to customers, although Honda has said it plans to lease a number of the fuel-cell cars to customers as soon as 2008.
The Scripps Research Institute team had already boosted the number of cells created with two compounds initiating a naturally occurring process that moves the cell nearer to a stem-cell like state.
"We believe reasonable suspicion existed to seize the cell phone, and to transcribe the information in the cell phone, " he says.
The other thing it does is it makes it extremely easy now to tailor a stem cell to an individual because all I have to do is get a few skin cells from you and then put in these magic factors, and suddenly I've got an embryonic stem cell line that's tailor made directly to you.
With only the genetic material from the person to be cloned inside the shell of the egg, the cell would be jolted with electricity to activate cell division.
The cell growth achieved using this method led to cell growth that was 3-4 times larger than control groups.
Educationalists have spoken of the need to make schools safer, with metal detectors, security guards and conveniently placed cell phones (one Columbine student, cowering under a desk, failed to get through to the police but managed to use his cell phone to talk to a television station).
Although President Bush limited federal funding of embryonic stem cell research to a few existing stem cell colonies, he did not make such research illegal...
"I don't see it as a compromise, but as a transitional step" to a "full blown" policy of federally financing embryonic stem cell research, Doerflinger said, adding that if researchers found the experiments on the small number of cell lines promising, they would want to create even more cell lines, and that would create pressure to allow tax dollars to be used for more experiments.
"I think we'll probably start to see more questionable searches of cell phones in arrests that have nothing to do with cell phones, " he said.
We sure wouldn't mind finding ourselves next year toting a single phone for both cell and VOIP calls, seamlessly switching from WiFi to cell towers, and having an all around good time.
ENGADGET: Sprint Nextel in talks over cable company partnerships
Yozo Kami, Honda's fuel cell chief, promises to solve all of fuel cell vehicles' technical problems by 2012 and to have the cost of fuel cells at "Accord-level" by 2020.
The axon is the long protuberance from a nerve cell that connects it to the next cell in the circuit.
