Scientists are Growing Human Brains in Labs, One Brain Spontaneously Grew Eyes - LifeNews.com
Concerns about ethical boundaries in scientific research are growing as reports surface about scientists creating three-parent embryos, hybridizing humans and animals and growing human brains. A new experiment out of the University Hospital Düsseldorf in Germany is raising more concerns after scientists said they grew human brain organoids, or small versions of human organs, that began spontaneously growing eyes, according to Science Alert.
Scientists 'may have crossed ethical line' in growing human brains | Neuroscience | The Guardian
Neuroscientists may have crossed an “ethical rubicon” by growing lumps of human brain in the lab, and in some cases transplanting the tissue into animals, researchers warn. The creation of mini-brains or brain “organoids” has become one of the hottest fields in modern neuroscience. The blobs of tissue are made from stem cells and, while they are only the size of a pea, some have developed spontaneous brain waves, similar to those seen in premature babies.

Dark energy and the fate of the Universe
Published 2003 - Physics, Education - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
It is often assumed that in the course of the evolution of the Universe, the dark energy either vanishes or becomes a positive constant. However, recently it was shown that in many models based on supergravity, the dark energy eventually becomes negative and the Universe collapses within a time comparable to the present age of the Universe. We will show that this conclusion is not limited to the models based on supergravity: in many models describing the present stage of acceleration of the… [Read more] ...

By Peter Ellerton Without good advice, governments are in extreme danger of creating erroneous or damaging public policy. So it’s a serious matter when a government science adviser is accused of ignoring scientific evidence in favour of engaging in political machinations. [Read more] ...
09/12/2013 17:10
By Ben Newell The word intuition is derived from the Latin intueor – to see; intuition is thus often invoked to explain how the mind can “see” answers to problems or decisions in the absence of explicit reasoning – a “gut reaction”. [Read more] ...
Explainer: what are stem cells?
09/12/2013 17:05
By Merlin Crossley In a paper published in Cell yesterday, scientists from the US and Thailand have, for the first time, successfully produced embryonic stem cells from human skin cells. That sounds interesting, but what are stem cells and where do they come from? If you take a limb from a rose tree, and put it in soil, it will grow into a thriving bush. [Read more] ...
Thinking the unthinkable: tracing language back 15,000 years
09/12/2013 17:04
By Michael Dunn, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Just about everyone has a personal stake in language, and many people — expert and amateur — feel entitled to an opinion. But linguists care more than most people, and when linguistics hit the media, linguists can get very agitated indeed. [Read more] ...
Sorry, but practice alone does not make perfect
09/12/2013 17:02
By Guillermo Campitelli We’ve all heard it before (usually accompanied by repeating hours of music scales or sports drills over and over): Practice makes perfect. But your music teachers and sports coaches were wrong - well, mostly. Practice only accounts for around one third of “perfection”, and the oft-quoted motto should be reworded to: Practice makes perfect … but only if you also have...
Extending the self: some cold truths on body ownership
09/12/2013 16:59
By Alexander De Foe “Who are you?” Some might ponder this question philosophically, while others will answer straightforwardly: “I am my body and my personality”. But the boundaries of “self” are not as straightforward as we might think. In a newly-published paper in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Joan Llobera, Maria V. Sanchez-Vives and Mel Slater demonstrate a body-ownership...
Einstein to Weinstein: the lone genius is an exception to the rule
09/12/2013 16:57
By Katherine J Mack Developing a Theory of Everything is physics' Holy Grail. So could it have been completed in recent weeks? And by an outsider, working alone? I haven’t attended Weinstein’s lectures and I haven’t seen his work (very few people have so far), so I’m not going to comment on its genius or lack thereof. Nor will I comment on the media attention per se, as others have done plenty of...
You’ve had an out-of-body experience, but what kind?
09/12/2013 16:56
By Alexander De Foe Have you ever felt as though your sense of awareness was outside of your physical body? That you were looking back at yourself from another place in the same room? If so, you’ve probably had an out-of-body experience (OBE). But not all OBEs are the same. [Read more] ...
Thinking critically on critical thinking: why scientists' skills need to spread
09/12/2013 15:28
By Rachel Grieve When we think of science and maths, stereotypical visions of lab coats, test-tubes, and formulae often spring to mind. But more important than these stereotypes are the methods that underpin the work scientists do – namely generating and systematically testing hypotheses. A key part of this is critical thinking. [Read more] ...
Kinky genes: how we fit three metres of DNA into a cell nucleus
09/12/2013 15:27
By Tim Mercer When scientists first decided to sequence the human genome, it seemed an impossibly large and complicated challenge. A decade since achieving this aim, scientists are faced with a similarly overwhelming challenge: understanding the folding of a human’s entire genetic data into a tiny cell nucleus. [Read more] ...
Why arts and science are better together
09/12/2013 15:26
By Benjamin Miller The arts and science are often thought of as polar opposites. Traditionally, students and universities view them as separate entities – you pick a degree in one or the other and stick to your side of the fence. Increasingly though, this way of doing things is not enough to prepare students for the data-drenched and volatile workplace of the twenty-first century. [Read more]...
09/12/2013 15:24
By Merlin Crossley Our genetic material is encoded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is famous. But you may also have also heard of RNA (ribonucleic acid). So, what is RNA, and what is it good for? Quite a lot really. In fact, it is possible that early life used RNA as its genetic material and also used folded RNAs as chemical tools to survive. This is called the RNA world hypothesis....
Scientific evidence: what is it and how can we trust it?
09/12/2013 15:22
By Manu Saunders The phrase “scientific evidence” has become part of the vernacular – thrown about like a hot potato during discussions of major environmental, health or social issues. Climate change is one example. The EU’s ban on neonicotinoid pesticides is another.We’ve heard numerous mentions of the associated “evidence”, indicating the importance of the issue and the need for action. ...
Animals in research: benefits, ethics and assessment
09/12/2013 15:20
By Gavan McNally “AUSTRALIANS SAY NO TO ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS,” rang the headline of a recent media release by the activist group Humane Research Australia, referring to an opinion poll it commissioned in May that found: the majority of Australians are opposed to such an archaic practice and recognise the need to seek more humane and scientifically-valid options. But research involving non-human...
Does science literacy matter? Yes, and here’s why
09/12/2013 15:18
By Ken Friedman When the email notice for The Weekend Conversation landed on Saturday, I was intrigued and slightly startled by the opening teaser from the site’s Science + Technology editor, Paul Dalgarno. He got one of the seven questions wrong in the Australian Academy of Science’s (AAS) recent science literacy survey, and his teaser amounted to a public confession of sorts. [Read more]...
And in science news … can we have more science news?
09/12/2013 15:17
By Peter Ellerton Why is science not delivered as part of our routine news bulletins in the same way as, say, business and sport? Enter a group from the University of Queensland, who yesterday posted an open letter to radio station Triple J and initiated an online petition asking that the station include at least 20 seconds of science news in its hourly news updates.

Long live the queen bee … but if she doesn’t, the colony will prevail
09/12/2013 15:13
By Marianne Peso In a honey bee colony, the queen bee rules while her daughter workers do nothing but work. So what happens when the queen dies? Are there worker riots, with the colony dissolving into a chaotic mess? Surprisingly, no. In a study published in the journal Current Biology on Friday, my colleagues and I showed that while queenless bees do act a little more selfishly, they continue to...
eleportation just got easier – but not for you, unfortunately
09/12/2013 11:44
By Ben Buchler Thanks to two studies published in Nature last Thursday, the chance of successful teleportation has considerably increased. Which is a good thing, right? Whether or not you’ve ever been on a long-haul flight, you’ve probably fantasised about being able to magically disappear from one place and reappear in another. And a natural question for a physicist is whether there is any way...
The butterfly effect: optical nanotechnology takes flight
09/12/2013 11:42
By Min Gu, Swinburne University of Technology and Mark Turner, Swinburne University of Technology When scientists look for keys to unlock problems such as quantum teleportation or faster internet speeds, answers can sometimes be found in the natural world. Controlling light at the nanoscale is necessary to develop the next generation of optical chips (integrated circuits which use light instead...
What is good science? And what gets public funding?
09/12/2013 11:40
By Merlin Crossley I’ve heard that we should stop talking about “pure” science and “applied” science; that we should only be talking about “good” science and “bad” science. Last year, CSIRO Chief Executive Megan Clark said as much during question time at her National Press Club address, and this year I heard it recommended again at the Universities Australia Conference. So let’s talk good and...
Evolution’s ‘big bang’ explained (and it’s slower than predicted)
09/12/2013 11:38
By Mike Lee The sudden appearance of a range of modern animals about half a billion years ago, during evolution’s “big bang”, has intrigued and puzzled generations of biologists from Charles Darwin onwards. A new study by Greg Edgecombe from London’s Natural History Museum, Julien Soubrier from the University of Adelaide, and I, and published today in Current Biology, suggests that the evolution...
Does psychology belong in the science club?
09/12/2013 11:36
By Jon Brock But for many other people, particularly scientists from other disciplines, psychology is at best a “soft” science. It doesn’t belong in the same exalted company as physics, chemistry, or, dare I say, neuroscience. The long-standing debate about psychology’s scientific credentials was reignited last year by microbiologist and founding editor of RealClearScience, Alex Berezow. In a...
To change anti-science activists' minds, go beyond science
09/12/2013 11:24
By Rod Lamberts The ABC recently reported that 400 people in the Philippines trampled vitamin-enriched “golden rice” trial crops because of fears to human health and biodiversity. A Greenpeace representative in Manila was quoted as saying they will not be apologising. It’s very easy to see this as the mindless actions of ill-informed ideologues and anti-science luddites. And make no mistake, I am...
Right, left, wrong: people reject science because …
09/12/2013 11:22
By Stephan Lewandowsky You’d be forgiven for thinking science is under attack. Climate science has been challenged by deniers and sceptics, vaccination rates are falling thanks to anti-vaccination movements, and GM crops are pillaged by anti-GM activists. But what determines why people take these positions? [Read more] ...
How values affect our attitudes to genetically modified food
09/12/2013 11:20
By Craig Cormick As Rod Lamberts reminded us here recently, when it comes to debates on genetically modified (GM) foods, arguing about the validity of the science is about as effective as descending to name calling. That’s because of the way our values, or worldviews, filter our receptiveness to messages. [Read more] ...
How much of a man are you? Being online can change that
09/12/2013 11:18
By Evita March How masculine are you? This might seem a fairly simple question, especially if you’re asked to fill out a simple ten-question survey investigating traits such as “aggressive” and “forceful”. But it may not be as straightforward as you think: your self-reported masculinity levels are not only a product of those personality traits, but also the method by which you’re surveyed. [Read...

By Matt Collins Quantum mechanics, which aims to describe the nano-scale world around us, has already led to the development of many technologies ubiquitous in modern life, including broadband optical fibre communication and smartphone displays. These devices operate using billions and billions of photons, the smallest indivisible quanta of light - but many powerful quantum effects (such as...
Want a better world? You can’t look at GMOs in isolation
09/12/2013 11:08
By Jonathan Bogais The Philippines (also known as the rice-bowl of Southeast Asia) has become a test bed for genetically modified (GM) crops. Proponents argue GM grains and vegetables can improve the life of farmers and malnourished locals. But is this technical approach the right one? Does it take account of the bigger picture, of a socio-political model that keeps many people in poverty? [Read...
Giving birth to new insights into brain development and disease
09/12/2013 11:06
By Thibault Renoir, Each one of us is the complex product of nature and nurture, genes and environment. They combine in a myriad of complex ways during embryonic and postnatal development to sculpt our brains and bodies. Genetic and environmental factors also mediate and modulate our disposition for a range of different brain and mind disorders, both neurological diseases and psychiatric...
Are animals as smart, or as dumb, as we think they are?

By Clint J Perry Does my dog only think of eating, sleeping and chasing squirrels? Does my girlfriend’s cat really have the capacity to plot my accidental death? Are cows just walking hamburgers and pigeons intent on world domination? Opinions vary on the answers to these questions. But where do we get our opinions on animal intelligence? [Read more] ...
Does your left brain know what your right brain is thinking?
09/12/2013 11:01
By Tamara Watson Are you a left brain or a right brain person? I’ve never met a person who doesn’t know what I mean by this question. The idea that creative people use the right side of their brain more than logical people (the left-brained) is an extremely strong meme. [Read more] ...
Cosmic jets: what’s shooting out of black holes?
09/12/2013 10:59
By James Miller-Jones, Curtin University While we tend to think of black holes as giant cosmic vacuum cleaners, it’s not all one-way travel. As gas falls in towards a black hole, it spirals gradually inwards like water going down a plug hole – but it’s not all lost; some of it can instead be diverted outwards in narrow, energetic beams known to astronomers as jets.

Science needs to be more dangerous
09/12/2013 10:57
By Euan Ritchie Few would argue the world isn’t facing enormous challenges: human population growth and the associated demand for resources, mass extinctions or – perhaps the biggest of all – global climate change. We often look to science to help provide solutions. But if science is to succeed in doing so, society may need scientists to take more risks, think outside the box and, dare we say it,...
Explainer: what is gene therapy?
09/12/2013 10:55
By Merlin Crossley Every now and again you might read about gene therapy and efforts to correct serious genetic diseases. But I’m betting that very few readers have had gene therapy, nor have they ever met anyone who has, nor will they ever meet that many. The reasons are simple – while these procedures are possible in theory, in practice, it has proved remarkably difficult to insert new genetic...
Higgs boson’s decay confirms physics model works
09/12/2013 10:53
By Nitesh Soni Last week, the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, showed evidence for the first time that a Higgs boson decays into a pair of tau particles. It is one of the crucial results that has followed on from the discovery of the Higgs boson. But what makes this result so important? On July 4, 2012, two experiments (ATLAS and CMS) at CERN announced the discovery...
Selfish gene solves DNA replication puzzle
09/12/2013 10:51
By Michelle Hawkins You were formed from a single cell. To build you, and then keep you alive, the DNA in your cells needs to undergo replication every day to duplicate your chromosomes before cell division. Decades of research have determined that DNA replication begins at specific locations on the chromosome. These sites are called replication origins. Bacteria have a single replication origin...

No single origin for agriculture in the Fertile Crescent
29/07/2013 13:25
Transition from foraging to farming occurred over the entire Fertile Crescent. A rich assemblage of fossils and artifacts in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains in Iran has revealed that the early inhabitants of the region began cultivating cereal grains for agriculture between 12,000 and 9,800 years ago. The discovery implies that the transition from foraging to farming took place at roughly...
DNA hints at African cousin to humans
29/07/2013 13:23
By Tina Hesman Saey Gene profiles suggest people interbred with a now-extinct species on the continent not that long ago. Expeditions to Africa may have brought back evidence of a hitherto unknown branch in the human family tree. But this time the evidence wasn’t unearthed by digging in the dirt. It was found in the DNA of hunter-gatherer people living in Cameroon and Tanzania. [Read more] ...
Gene breakthrough shows Neanderthals in new light
29/07/2013 13:21
WHEN Neanderthal bones were discovered in the 19th century, their robust build and heavy brows led palaeontologists to characterise them as brutish, and their name is still pejorative today. Since then, we have found ample circumstantial evidence to suggest this stereotype is far from fair. Tools, jewellery and even cosmetics discovered among Neanderthal bones suggest that they were uncannily...
