Sounds like a great Hollywood script. (2008-06-30) Laser Surgery Probe Targets Individual Cancer Cells Mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Adela Ben-Yakar at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a laser "microscalpel" that destroys a single cell while leaving nearby cells intact, which could improve the precision of surgeries for cancer, epilepsy and other diseases. (2008-06-25) UC Santa Cruz physicists eagerly await launch of NASA space telescope they helped build When NASA launches its newest space observatory, physicists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will be watching as the product of nearly 16 years of hard work blasts into orbit. (2008-05-30) Common star draws swift attention with unprecedented flare On April 25, one of our nearest stellar neighbors, a small, faint red dwarf known as EV Lacertae, unleashed the brightest flare ever detected from a normal star outside our solar system. (2008-05-20) The Mouse That Roared: Pipsqueak Star Unleashes Monster Flare On April 25, NASA's Swift satellite picked up the brightest flare ever seen from a normal star other than our Sun. The flare, an explosive release of energy from a star, packed the power of thousands of solar flares. It would have been visible to the naked eye if the star had been easily observable in the night sky at the time. (2008-05-20) Designer Isotopes Push the Frontier of Science Designer labels have a lot of cachet, a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. (2008-05-12) Made-to-order isotopes hold promise on science's frontier Designer labels have a lot of cachet - a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. (2008-05-09) Yeast gives rise to new concept: cell fuel is 'brains' behind division With the cost of diesel and gasoline getting nearer to the hourly minimum wage, too bad the fuel doesn't do more work - like deciding what route to take and pressing the gas pedal. (2008-04-28) Clean-vehicle research initiative making progress A public-private effort to develop technologies for more fuel-efficient automobiles and to investigate the feasibility of hydrogen-based vehicles has made significant progress in most research areas, says a new report from the National Research Council. (2008-03-20) Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms prediction High-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons.
