US President Barack Obama is on perilous political ground between his military and an anxious American public, after his top commander in Afghanistan warned the war could be lost without

HT Image US and NATO commander General Stanley McChrystal s blunt assessment, in a classified report partly published by The Washington Post, adds an explosive element to a quickening debate over war strategy. McChrystal cautioned that failing to gain the initiative against the Taliban insurgency within 12 months could make victory impossible. Given timelines for allocating military resources, Obama appears to face a narrow window for making fateful evaluations on whether to send more soldiers into the unpopular eight-year war. The White House insists it will not be rushed into decisions with critical political implications, saying it could be many weeks before Obama makes

Without disclosing his location or subsequent plans, he said: I want Premier Wen to open a probe into this corrupt behavior.

Using an advanced microscopy technique called cryo-electron tomography, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory EMBL have visualised proteins responsible for cell-cell contacts for the first time. In the journal Nature they published the first 3-D image of human skin at molecular resolution and revealed the molecular velcro-like organisation that interlinks cells. This is a rea

We can now see details at the scale of a few millionths of a millimetre. In this way we have gained a new view on the interactions of molecules that underlie cell adhesion in tissues - a mechanism that has been disputed over decades. So far, the only information available about a protein s position and interactions in a cell was based on either light microscopy images at poor resolution or techniques that remove proteins from their natural context. Frangakis and his group have been developing a technique with which a cell or tissue is instantly frozen in its natural state

In what could lower the cost of reaching space, aerospace scientists claim to be developing a hypersonic aircraft by using superfast air-breath
adidas samba ing engines called scramjets. HT Image Conventional rockets used to launch satellites into orbit or space shuttles have to carry rocket fuel and oxidiser which is very expensive. The air-breathing scramjets still need fuel but don t need the oxidiser, with the potential for substantially reducing the cost per kilogram of transporting payloads into space, said Dr Con Doolan of Adelaide University, who is leading an in
af1 ternational team. According to the scientists, the aim is to produce a hybrid launch vehicle where one stage out of three in a conventional rocket will be replaced with a scramjet vehicle. Normally the rocket takes the vehicle to the edge of space and then the second and third stages boost its velocity to put it into orbit. We are hoping eventually to be able to replace one stage -- probably
air max the second -- with a scramjet capable of Mach 14 or 15. That s the sort of speed necessary for space flight, Dr Doolan said. Read breaking news, latest...
