This discovery expands the current understanding of how cellular DNA folds at scales more miniscule than the double helix...
...Scientists have not really understood how the double helix folds to fit into the nucleus of a human cell,” said co-first author Erez Lieberman-Aiden, a researcher at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and in the laboratory of Eric S. Lander at the Broad Institute. “This new approach enabled us to probe exactly that question...
Then last week, a company called Equmen (short for "equality for men" and no relation to Spanx) sent me an undershirt that promised to compress my core and give me a "more tailored look." It's aimed at guys and features something called "helix mapping" technology, which is supposed to make you not only look better but also feel better, more supported through your torso and shoulders. The Australian company enlisted a physical therapist to help design the shirt's helix cross-stitching, which simulates the kind of taping a guy might get if he had a back injury...
...enormous catalogue of music,” Westergren said at the talk, which was sponsored by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. A team of musicians measure and score each song using nearly 400 factors, which frame them in what Westergren calls the “musical double helix.” Once a user inputs a given song or artist, a mathematical algorithm creates a playlist that orders songs based on their similarity. Pandora launched in Nov. 2005 and has since spread even though the Web site has never advertised. Pandora grew out of Westergren?...

Fetuses, cellular phones, black power fists, whips, dollar signs, and a double helix caught in Badu’s afro immediately signal that she has a lot to sing about. In album opener “Amerykahn Promise,” a robotic voice instructs passengers to leave their valuables at home. It declares, “We love to suck...
