Nutrition and the Meaning of Life

I thought I’d start the blogs by addressing the really big question – what has nutrition got to do with the meaning of life?
I read a really interesting review (1), summarising and synthesizing recent and not-so-recent hypotheses about what life is (this, therefore, is the search for a definition of “life” rather than any greater underlying purpose). For those sceptical about how interesting this can be, I’d emphasise that it’s not my area of work and has never been, but it is a wholly engaging read, free from arcane and heavyweight philosophical terminology and likewise free from heavyweight maths. It is also ...

(North Shore-Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Health System) Researchers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research released initial findings from a first-of-a-kind clinical trial in adaptive radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. The trial, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, showed most patients benefited from only one or at most two adaptive radiotherapy treatments. These findings were released online in advance of publication in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics.

Physics Today: Today the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted in favor of granting a construction license for two nuclear reactors to be built in Georgia. As reported in the New York Times yesterday, the license will be the first to be issued since the Three Mile Island accident in 1978. In anticipation, the Southern Company had already invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the project. Although natural gas prices have gone down in the US and no tax has yet been imposed on carbon emissions, proponents had pointed out that market and regulatory factors can change. Antinuclear groups, such as the Southern Alliance fo...

BBC: Nanoscale lasers that operate at room temperature and in the IR waveband have been built by Mercedeh Khajavikhan of the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues. Almost all lasers need a certain amount of energy input—the threshold—before the light waves they produce combine and form a laser beam. Until now, decreasing the size of the laser increased the required energy to the point that the devices weren't practical. To get around this unfavorable tradeoff, Khajavikhan built the laser cavities with a cylindrical or co-axial shape, rather than a box-like shape as in previous attempts. Althou...

Nature: Research universities in Japan are starting to look to the West and its philanthropic tradition to help ease their monetary difficulties.

Recently, Japan's internationally known Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe was offered some $7.5 million from the Kavli Foundation in Oxnard, California. However, Japanese law prevented the IPMU from accepting the full amount. So the Kavli Foundation will instead manage the money for the institute, doling it out in smaller amounts to pay for ...

Although the program has improved our understanding of climate systems, Meyer writes, it has been less successful at providing decision makers with useful information. So the program has added three more objectives: to inform decisions, to sustain assessments, and to communicate and educate. Meyer points out tha...

Photonics: Although iron pyrite, otherwise known as iron sulfide or fool's gold, was tossed aside by miners more than a century ago, it may prove to be worth its weight in gold as a thin-film solar cell material. Researchers at Oregon State University have found that iron pyrite, which contains two of the most abundant elements on Earth, is an excellent absorber of solar energy and can be made into extremely thin layers. Unfortunately, the substantial heat required to create solar cells causes the pyrite to decompose. So the researchers tried an inverse design approach. "We identified the failure mechanism of pyrite, formu...

Tensions between religion and science will persist unless believers recognise that skepticism is a hallmark of scienceIssues of personal faith can be a source of respectful debate and discussion. Since faith is often not based on evidence, however, it is hard to imagine how various deep philosophical or religious disagreements can be objectively laid to rest. As a result, skeptics like myself struggle to understand or anticipate the vehement anger that can be generated by the mere suggestion that perhaps there may be no God, or even that such a suggestion is not meant to offend.Last week, police in Rhode Island had to be c...

Science: Katydids, crickets, and other arthropods produce their characteristic chirps by stridulation, a process in which they scrape one rough body part against another, writes Sid Perkins for Science. Until now, it was not known whether ancient insects chirped at a single frequency or across a variety of frequencies. A recent analysis of 165-million-year-old katydid wing fragments shows that katydids sang at a single frequency of about 6.4 kilohertz, or about 6400 cycles per second. That tone is about half the frequency created by today's katydids but within the range of tones generated by living species of crickets. The...
