		<title>Rainforest Fungus Naturally Synthesizes Diesel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A fungus that lives inside trees in the Patagonian rain forest naturally makes a mix of hydrocarbons that bears a striking resemblance to diesel, biologists announced today. And the fungus can grow on cellulose, a major component of tree trunks, blades of grass and stalks that is the most abundant carbon-based plant material on Earth.
&#8220;When [...]]]></description>

		<title>20 megapixel cellphones shooting Full HD video in 4 years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s tough to predict the future, especially with cutbacks to R&#38;D budgets in the face of a global economic slowdown. Still, it&#8217;s always nice to see a forward-looking corporate-slide related to mobile handsets from the taller, blonder half of that Sony Ericsson partnership. LTE and fast CPUs are certainly no surprise, nor is that 1,024 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Computing power to equal human brain by 2025</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dubai: By 2025 you will be able to buy the computing power of the human brain for $1,000 (Dh3,672), according to Dr Colin Harrison, a director and &#8220;Master Inventor&#8221; for IBM.
Harrison, who recently took some time to speak to Gulf News on a trip to the UAE, said the estimate is based on the current [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living computers within your body</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Project leaders Maung Nyan Win and Christina Smolke have revealed that, so far, they have tested the living computer on a living yeast cell.

The researchers believe that future models of the computer, made from the DNA-like molecule RNA, may be helpful in running calculations inside human cells to release drugs, or prime the immune system, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Computing With RNA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Scientists in California have created molecular computers that are able to self-assemble out of strips of RNA within living cells. Eventually, such computers could be programmed to manipulate biological functions within the cell, executing different tasks under different conditions. One application could be smart drug delivery systems, says Christina Smolke, who carried out the research [...]]]></description>

		<title>X-Prize CEO Peter Diamandis Announces the Formation of a SINGULARITY UNIVERSITY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it is true! Peter Diamandis, Chair and CEO of the increasingly mighty X-Prize Foundation, and some high-level folks are working on something big called a “Singularity University.” Who else could be involved? It seems like Ray Kurzweil would be a prime candidate, especially considering their back-to-back presentations at today’s Summit.
Might this be a first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Study finds value in &#8216;junk&#8217; DNA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For about 15 years, scientists have known that certain &#8220;junk&#8221; DNA &#8212; repetitive DNA segments previously thought to have no function &#8212; could evolve into exons, which are the building blocks for protein-coding genes in higher organisms like animals and plants. Now, a University of Iowa study has found evidence that a significant number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harnessing Light&#8217;s Full Spectrum: Scientists Claim Solar Power Breakthrough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chemists at Ohio State University say they have produced a next-generation material that not only absorbs the full spectrum of sunlight, but also make makes the electrons generated more easy to capture.
The hybrid material &#8212; a combination of electrically conductive plastic and metals like molybdenum and titanium &#8212; is the first of its kind to [...]]]></description>
