• Third Session of Hermitage’s Art&Science Project: How Air Harms Paintings and Why Would One Make a Mold of Grass?

  …sociate at the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology (Italy): "Environments: cultural heritage preservation and the art of light". One of the questions that stands before scientists is how did artists create their works? I mean — how were pigments, or art glass, created? No one would allow me to just take an art object and do a chemical analysis — yet, if I did,…

• Genome Editing Will Help Cure HIV

  … the success of the "Berlin Patient" case. Finding a compatible donor for treating leucosis is really hard, and finding such a donor with resilience to HIV is even harder. So, scientists started to look for a way to induce such resilience in the cells of the patient. Theoretically, it is possible to remove the protein receptor from the cell's surface. Then it won't b…
