<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in California have produced a living bacterium that has a strand of artificial DNA made with chemical “letters” not found in nature or any other organism.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the famous double helix discovered by Watson and Crick in the 1950s and commonly known as the carrier of the “genetic code” of life. It’s found in all living things on Earth, from the smallest cells to the largest redwood trees, and in each and every one of these organisms the basic DNA structure is exactly the same.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Though the models of DNA that are on display in museums seem impossibly complex, it is actually a very simple molecule. It’s twisty double backbone of phosphates and sugars carries branches that link the two spirals together like steps in a ladder. These steps consist of a surprisingly simple pairing of four nucleic acid bases: guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). These bases pair up to one another like lock and key with guanine pairing with cytosine and adenine pairing with thymine.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>This simple, predictable pairing allows life to happen. It provides a way to encode the genetic instructions needed to build and maintain cells. Under the influence of various enzymes, the DNA molecules unfasten and come apart like zippers, which provide the pattern for creating new strands of DNA.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>This sort of base pairing is universal in all known life. If it has DNA, then it uses G-C and A-T pairs. The question is, is this pairing universal because of all life on Earth having a common ancestor, is it because of some fundamental law of chemistry, or both?</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The result of years of research going back to the late 1990s, the TSRI team’s project aimed to find molecules that would pair like those in DNA and would form stably on the helix backbone of the DNA molecule. They would also need to unzip like the known bases and transcribe onto the RNA molecules to create new DNA strands. In addition, they had to be able to survive the DNA repair mechanisms in the cell that might see the new bases as faulty strands and remove them.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>In 2008, the team was able to create semi-artificial strands of DNA that would replicate in a test tube in the presence of the right enzymes and would transcribe onto RNA, but, according to the team, the big leap was to get the strands to work in a living cell. They did this by creating a plasmid, which is a circular strand of DNA, that was a mixture of natural and artificial DNA elements made of molecules known as d5SICS and dNaM, and then inserting it into escherichia coli bacteria.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Obviously, the result isn't artificial life, but it is, by any definition, a novelty. The bacteria carried in their nuclei DNA with bases not found in any other living organism. The pairs are able to duplicate so long as the chemical materials are available, and the duplication occurs with reasonable speed and accuracy, the repair mechanism didn't interfere, and the growth of the cells was not impaired.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>However, the new bacteria are also no Frankenstein’s micro-monsters waiting to break out of the lab on an unsuspecting world. Since 5SICS and dNaM are not found in nature, the scientists have to supply them for the DNA strands to form and they need what are called triphosphate transporter molecules produced by a species of microalgae to move the molecules into the cells. What all that adds up to is that the artificial DNA won’t work outside of the laboratory.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>"When we stopped the flow of the unnatural triphosphate building blocks into the cells, the replacement of d5SICS–dNaM with natural base pairs was very nicely correlated with the cell replication itself – there didn’t seem to be other factors excising the unnatural base pairs from the DNA,” says team member Denis A. Malyshev. "An important thing to note is that these two breakthroughs also provide control over the system. Our new bases can only get into the cell if we turn on the ‘base transporter’ protein. Without this transporter or when new bases are not provided, the cell will revert back to A, T, G, C, and the d5SICS and dNaM will disappear from the genome."</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>According to team leader Floyd E. Romesberg, the next goal will be see if the new bases can be used to create proteins. “In principle, we could encode new proteins made from new, unnatural amino acids — which would give us greater power than ever to tailor protein therapeutics and diagnostics and laboratory reagents to have desired functions. Other applications, such as nanomaterials, are also possible.”</b></span></div>

Instead of filming straight-on, like the average video camera, it's constantly filming 360 degrees of footage.

<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>"When shooting video, we pull either 720p or 1080p RAW video data from each camera," CENTR explains on Kickstarter. "When each camera is shooting at 1080p resolution, we are processing 4K of panoramic video data in each frame. The effective resolution after image stitching is 1080 x ~7500 pixels. The final panoramic width for each video actually varies slightly based on the calibration parameters automatically set by CENTR."</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The footage can be viewed in real time using the CENTR interactive player on a Wi-Fi-connected desktop computer, tablet or smartphone. It looks like a normal video at first, but unlike your typical YouTube fare, you can scroll to spin it around. In a video made from the cockpit of a plane, for instance, you start off looking forward from the pilot's POV and can then scroll to look over the wing and keep going to view the pilot himself.</b></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>In addition to video, the CENTR can be used to capture time-lapse panoramic stills photos.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The CENTR's tape-roll design is meant to allow the filmer to grip the camera through the center without blocking any of the individual sensors.

Supposed schematics for the iPhone 6 leaked from Apple’s manufacturing partners some time ago and as always, third-party protective case makers have been using them to begin designing cases in an effort to get a leg up on the competition. This year, however, people are also using the schematics to build mockups of the iPhone 6, and they may give us a very good idea of what the finished product will look like.</b></span></div>

It will feature a larger 4.7-inch display with 1,334 x 750-pixel resolution, a faster A8 processor, NFC and a new thinner design.
