Now Scientist can Unboil the Eggs

 UC Irvine and Australian chemists have figured out how to unboil egg whites. This innovation that could dramatically reduce costs for cancer treatments, food production and other segments of the $160  bn global biotechnology industry. They published their findings in the journal ChemBioChem. They started with egg whites boiled for 20 minutes at 90 degrees Celsius and return a key protein in the egg to working order. The equivalent of dialysis at the molecular level must be done for about four days, but the new process takes minutes.This new process speeds things up by a factor of thousands.

Rhesus Monkey can recognize their face after Training-discovery to sheds light on the neural basis of self-awareness in humans and other animals.

Unlike humans and great apes, rhesus monkeys don't realize when they look in a mirror that it is their own face looking back at them. But, according to a report in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on January 8, that doesn't mean they can't learn. What's more, once rhesus monkeys in the study developed mirror self-recognition, they continued to use mirrors spontaneously to explore parts of their bodies they normally don't see. The discovery in monkeys sheds light on the neural basis of self-awareness in humans and other animals.
