like in a phone that keeps and improves upon the best features of the
original One, while also adding new features from other top phones of
the past year and taking an above-and-beyond approach to customer

different than most other 19th century residences in the Italian
motoring villa. That the unassuming space was the birthplace of Enzo

simple sign reading, “Officina Meccanica Alfredo Ferrari.” But now a new
contemporary gallery dedicated to Ferrari’s founder has reopened to the
public and showcases some of his company's finest vintage works. Read More
Harvesting samples for producing stem cells can
be rather painful. Techniques can involve collecting large amounts of
blood, bone marrow or skin scrapes. The reality is intrusive measures
such as these can be very off-putting. But what if it was as simple as a
finger-prick? Such a DIY approach, which is so easy it can be done at
home or in the field without medical staff, has been developed by
researchers at Singapore's A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell
Biology (IMCB). Read More
