New York - Legendary pop-rock pioneers The Beatles are finally moving to the digital age.

The Fab Four have licensed their entire catalog of music to be used in a video game made by the companies behind the popular game Rock Band, in which players earn points for accompanying the band, it was announced Thursday.

Washington, Oct 30 : Chemists at the University of Warwick and the John Innes Centre have uncovered a new signalling molecule, which can unlock hundreds of new antibiotics from the DNA of the Streptomyces family of bacteria.

Researchers have already developed methods to find and exploit new pathways for antibiotic production in the genome of the Streptomyces family and many Streptomyces bacteria are being used industrially to produce current antibiotics.

It has long been believed that the relatively unstable butyrolactone compounds represented by "A-factor" were the only real signal for stimulating such pathways of possible antibiotic production

London, Oct 30 : In the pursuit to create a more ‘life-like’ robot, researchers have created a realistic robot head that can mimic human facial expressions, thus making communication more human-like.

Robotics engineers at the University of Bristol, UK, actually made a copycat robotic head, called Jules, which can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being.

Jules is an animatronic head produced by US roboticist David Hanson, New Scientist reports.

Honson builds uniquely expressive, disembodied heads with flexible rubber skin that is moved by 34 servo motors.

A video camera picks human face movements, and then maps them onto the tiny electronic motors in Jules'' skin.
