Vanderbilt scientists invent world's smallest periscopes
A team of Vanderbilt scientists have invented the world's smallest version of the periscope and are using it to look at cells and other micro-organisms from several sides at once. view more (2009-02-26)
One membrane, many frequencies
Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people perceive it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of better hearing aids. view more (2007-03-28)
The structure of a giant virus
The mimivirus is the largest virus known to scientists, about half of a micrometre (0.0005 millimeter) in diameter. It is more than 10 times larger than the virus that causes the common cold and - unlike other viruses - is large enough to be seen with a light microscope. view more (2009-04-28)
Future for radioembolisation in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
Copenhagen, Denmark, Friday 24 April: Radioembolisation with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) glass microspheres is a safe and effective treatment for patients with advanced HCC ± portal vein thrombosis, according to new research presented today at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-24)
Follow-up endoscopic surveillance in colorectal cancer patients improves survival
Colorectal cancer patients who undergo colonoscopic surveillance during follow-up after surgery experience improved survival, according to a study to be published in the April issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology but currently available on-line. view more (2007-03-16)
Study shows drug combination improves outcome for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
A new, international study found that the combination of two drugs delays disease progression for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). view more (2009-06-01)
Rolls-Royce Leads Aerospace Materials Research Project
Rolls-Royce is spearheading a new £4.7 million research programme that looks to develop advanced, affordable, lighter and more capable aerospace materials for the future. The ADAM (ADvanced Aero-engine Materials) programme is a collaboration between Rolls-Royce and QinetiQ plc, together with several UK academic centres of excellence, and is... view more...

Preoperative radiation may improve survival rates in advanced rectal cancer patients
Patients treated with radiation prior to surgery for advanced rectal cancer have fewer instances of cancer recurrence and better overall survival rates, according to a recent Geisinger report. view more (2008-12-02)
Researchers bend light through waveguides in colloidal crystals
Researchers at the University of Illinois are the first to achieve optical waveguiding of near-infrared light through features embedded in self-assembled, three-dimensional photonic crystals. view more (2008-01-08)
ESA assessing the situation to bring the Artemis satellite back into the right orbit
Ground controllers are evaluating possibilities to recover the mission of the Artemis telecommunications satellite, one of two spacecraft launched by a European Ariane 5 vehicle on Thursday, 12 July 2001 at 18:58 local time in Kourou, French Guiana , 23:58 (CEST), but that was left stranded in a lower than expected orbit due to a malfunction in... view more...

For the first time scientists have discovered the presence of a natural deep earth pump that is a crucial element in the formation of ore deposits and earthquakes. view more (2009-06-18)
'Nanodrop' test tubes created with a flip of a switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new device that creates nanodroplet "test tubes" for studying individual proteins under conditions that mimic the crowded confines of a living cell. view more (2008-04-16)
Researchers discover new battleground for viruses and immune cells
Vaccines have led to many of the world's greatest public health triumphs, but many deadly viruses, such as HIV, still elude the best efforts of scientists to develop effective vaccines against them. view more (2008-02-07)
Link unraveled between chromosomal instability and centrosome defects in cancer cells
In a new study, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists disprove a century-old theory about why cancer cells often have too many or too few chromosomes, and show that the actual reason may hold the key to a novel approach to cancer therapy. view more (2009-06-08)
Controversies Regarding Ovarian Cancer Treatments Addressed
Trials have raised questions on the current management and standard of care for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). These controversies highlight implications for future clinical research and policy-making, as reviewed in an article published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer. view more (2004-11-10)
Electronic structure of DNA revealed for 1st time by Hebrew University and collaborating researchers

Friction force differences could offer a new means for sorting and assembling nanotubes
Nanotubes and nanowires are promising building blocks for future integrated nanoelectronic and photonic circuits, nanosensors, interconnects and electro-mechanical nanodevices. But some fundamental issues remain to be resolved - among them, how to position and manipulate the tiny tubes. view more (2009-09-16)
International study supports new standard of treatment for women with advanced ovarian cancer
Results of a phase III, international randomized clinical trial demonstrate a new standard of care for treating advanced ovarian cancer that significantly reduces side-effects and post-operative deaths compared to the previously established treatment course. view more (2008-12-04)
