St. Louis officers chant ‘whose streets, our streets’ while arresting protesters

After a third night of violence and unrest in St. Louis, about 100 protesters marched in silence along downtown streets Monday during the morning rush hour.

In a concentrated area downtown, some protesters smashed windows and overturned trash cans, while others threw chemicals and rocks at police, authorities said.

Further inflaming tensions, a St. Louis photographer reported he and others heard police chant “whose streets, our streets” after making some arrests.

“I’m proud to tell you the city of St. Louis is safe and the police owned tonight,” he said.

Researchers caught the little jerks hiding out among cancer cells, gobbling up chemotherapy drugs intended to demolish their tumorous digs.

Yet the new data suggest that certain types of drug-resistant cancers could be defeated with a simple dollop of antibiotics alongside a chemotherapy regimen.

The role of bacteria in drug-resistant cancers and the potential for using antibiotics with chemotherapies “merit additional exploration,” the authors conclude. »

BREAKING: Light Has Been Stored as Sound For The First Time

Authored by sciencealert.com

For the first time ever, scientists have stored light-based information as sound waves on a computer chip - something the researchers compare to capturing lightning as thunder.

We say in theory, because, despite companies such as IBM and Intel pursuing light-based computing, the transition is easier said than done.

Coding information into photons is easy enough - we already do that when we send information via optical fibre. »
