Science of the Week, 6/1/12

Between WisCon and Alex, it's been a busy week for me. Here are a few science articles I found interesting this week:


Quantum Computers Will Be Able to Simulate Particle Collisions

Seagrasses Can Store More Carbon than Forests

BioChip-based Device for Cell Analysis

There's More Star Stuff Out There, but It's Not Dark Matter

Neuron Function Restored to Huntington's Brains


Unzipped Carbon Nanotubes Could Help Energize Fuel Cells and Batteries

Spill Your Guts: How Our Microbiome Shapes Us


Enjoy your weekend, everyone, and I'll see you on Monday!

About This Blog

As a science fiction/fantasy author, I discuss topics such as science, writing science fiction/fantasy, indie-publishing, books, and authors. On a personal note, I also blog about my family and the Beatles. I usually post three times a week. A recurring topic is Science of the Week on Fridays, though sometimes it's preempted.

Although I'm not comfortable reviewing books, I am willing to host author interviews and participate in blog tours. Please e-mail me at ulbrichalmazanATsbcglobalDOTnet.
