The body’s own “training manual” for attacking HIV has been recorded by US scientists and it is hoped it can be used to design vaccines.
HIV mutates in order to survive the onslaught of a patient’s immune system.
However, some patients develop highly effective antibodies that can neutralise huge swathes of HIV mutants.
A North Carolina team analysed the arms race between body and virus, published in the journal Nature, and has shown how these antibodies are made.
When someone is infected with HIV, their body produces antibodies to attack it. But the virus mutates and evades the offensive, so the body produces new antibodies that the virus then evades and the war goes on.

In a scene straight out of the 1958 horror flick “The Blob,” a new YouTube clip shows a lump of magnetic silly putty completely engulfing a magnet.
The event, captured by YouTube user Scott Lawson, actually took an hour and a half, but luckily we’re treated to a time-lapse view.
How does it work? “Ferromagnetic particles in the putty are strongly attracted to the magnet and very slowly engulf the surface of the magnet,” Lawson wrote in the video’s description. “The putty looks and feels like regular silly putty, but the difference lies in the fact that it has been infused with millions of micron-sized ferrous particles.”

Suspicion in the slayings of a Texas district attorney and his wife shifted Monday to a violent white supremacist prison gang that was the focus of a December law enforcement bulletin warning that its members might try to attack police or prosecutors.
The weekend deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, who were found fatally shot in their home, were especially jarring because they happened just a couple of months after one of the county’s assistant district attorneys, Mark Hasse, was killed near his courthouse office.
And less than two weeks ago, Colorado’s prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by a white supremacist ex-convict who died in a shootout with deputies after fleeing to Texas.

We’ve seen a slew of robotic animals in the past year or so — robotic cockroaches, robotic tunafish, robotic dragonflies. And now, thanks to Virginia Tech, we’ve got two robotic jellyfish.
On May 29 of last year, Virginia tech engineers unveiled “Robojelly,” a robotic jellyfish “roughly the size of a man’s hand.” And last week, the same group of engineers revealed their second jelly named “Cyro,” who is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 170 pounds.
The U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center and the Office of Naval Research are funding the robotic jellyfish. According to a press release, the aim of the project “is to place self-powering, autonomous machines in waters for the purposes of surveillance and monitoring the environment, in addition to other uses such as studying aquatic life, mapping ocean floors, and monitoring ocean currents.”

It’s April Fools’ Day, and techies everywhere are getting in on the mischief. Given the Internet’s default fondness for ephemera and utterly pointless gestures, a day when pranks are sanctioned (or perhaps even expected) generally doesn’t disappoint. Usually, some of the best jokes are total malarkey.
But this year a British company called SwiftKey, which makes an intelligent touchscreen keyboard app for mobile devices, appears to have coded an Easter egg into its latest release that’s a functional — if not necessarily practical — joke. The feature, called SwiftKey Tilt, claims to offer a “full-body typing experience that allows users to use motion to enter text,” according to Phandroid.
.
SwiftKey Tilt is an April Fool’s Day joke that’s a real feature.

Meet Avery Molek, a 6-year-old drummer who’s currently experiencing his 15 minutes of YouTube fame. In a video making the rounds online this week, the tiny drummer is shown shredding his way through Van Halen’s “Hot For Teacher,” barely missing a beat as he plays the classic song like a pro.
Molek has been playing the drums since he was four years old and in just two years he’s played over 15 shows spanning four different states, wowing crowds with his prodigious love of Kiss and other hard rock bands. According to his Facebook, the munchkin musician has also embarked on a tour in his homestate of Pennsylvania. He’s already giving Mr. Alex Van Halen a run for his money!

Where in the brain, exactly, is intelligence? Is a high I.Q. just a result of a flawed test – or do high-I.Q. brains have specific, measurable differences from others? Answers await, Intrepid Reader – but first we have to make sure we’re asking the right questions.
Let’s start with the big news: a study just published in the Journal of Neuroscience reports that when a certain area of the frontal lobe has unusually wide and active connectivity, a higher I.Q. tends to follow. The trouble is, though, that a high I.Q. only reflects certain types of mental abilities – so what this discovery really means is that a certain functional network in the brain plays a major role in certain kinds of smart thinking.

Moments before a New York mom was murdered while vacationing in Turkey, a passing train’s camera allegedly caught a brief glimpse of her walking near grimy railroad tracks.
A woman in a pink dress — believed to be Sarai Sierra — is seen in the recently released footage recorded along a train line on Jan. 21, the day that the 33-year-old vanished in Istanbul, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Blurry footage also shows the homeless paper collector accused of murdering her grappling with Sierra, according to the Daily Mail.

Ever wonder how they did the music for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (with Clint Eastwood)? It is so cool to see how it was made after all these years. Some of you may not be old enough to remember this classic from the ’60’s. Turn it up nice and loud and enjoy. For those still caught in the ’60s groove — this is the answer to how that magnificent signature tune came about…Superb….wait till the guy whistles!

An app created by a UK teenager has been acquired by web giant Yahoo in a deal the BBC understands to be worth “dozens of millions” of pounds.
Seventeen-year-old Nick D’Aloisio’s Summly app summarises news stories from popular media companies.
Neither company would disclose the terms of the deal publicly.
The app itself will now close, but its features will be used in mobile products at Yahoo, where Mr D’Aloisio has been given a job.
He will be joined by several of Summly’s “top staff” in new roles at Yahoo in the next few weeks.
