Biologists have long thought that a simple on/off switch controls most genes
in human cells. Flip the switch and a cell starts or stops producing a
particular protein. But new evidence suggests that this model is too simple and
that our...

To make the resulting image appear as realistic as possible, the system
analyzes the original photo to estimate the camera angle and lighting
conditions, and then looks in the clip art library for an object — a car, for
instance — that...

The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is
better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will
be as tiny as single molecules.
Turning this dream into reality may be a step...
