Re: Re: toggling cells in matrices?
To selectively toggle specific cells in a char matrix, you can use [jit.op @op ^], otherwise known as XOR. In bitwise arithmetic, the XOR operator is used to toggle the state of specific bits using a bitmask. ...

New Kyoto U. method creates safer iPS cells
Shinya Yamanaka has successfully produced induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in mice without using viruses, in a breakthrough method that results in iPS cells that are considerably safer than those produced with the use of viruses. ...

Researchers found fat-regenerating stem cells in mice
Researchers for the first time have discovered stem cells that produces fat cells in the lab dish. This research is supposed to be a ground breaking news as this will help to restore normal fat tissue in animals lacking it thus curing ...

The week in science: flexing solar cells, universal lumpiness, and ...
Would a lumpy universe rid us of the need for dark energy? Is low efficiency worth it if our solar cells bend without breaking? Answers to these and many other questions appeared in this week's science news.Read More...
