A City of the Achilles' Warriors Discovered
	If you've enjoyed "Troy", then you could be interested by the fact that archaeologists have discovered a possible place from where Troy's attackers set out.

Nanotechnology For Precise And Controlled Gene Delivery
	Inserting a gene into a cell is hard work. But it is even harder when it's about a plant cell. Now a team of Iowa State University has managed to do it and to trigger the gene's expression with controlled precision by using nanotechnology, a fact that could boost it as a novel powerful tool for delivery processes into plant cells. Other approaches, too, managed to deliver a gene into a plant cell, but the chemicals proved to ... [read more >>]
