New infrared tool measures silicon wafer thickness
In the last few years, semiconductor circuit features have shrunk to sub-100 nanometer (nm) dimensions, while the size of the thin silicon wafers that these circuits are constructed on has grown from 200 millimeters (mm) to 300 mm (about 12 inches). The payoff is a higher yield of finished devices from fewer wafers. view more (2005-07-15)
Ductile grinding of silicon wafers
Microchips have become an indispensable feature of everyday life. They make telephones and washing machines "smart", they control computers, and take the strain out of car driving. These tiny devices are produced on flat sheets of silicon, known as wafers. Conventional wafers measure 200 millimeters in diameter, but soon 300-millimeter diameters... view more... (1999-07-01)
Home chemotherapy is a viable alternative to hospital treatment
Home chemotherapy is a safe and acceptable alternative to hospital treatment for patients with colorectal cancer that may improve compliance with treatment, according to a study in this week's BMJ. Of 87 patients receiving chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, 42 were treated at an outpatient clinic and 45 at home, over a 12-month period. The two... view more... (2001-04-03)
Stress management: X-rays reveal Si thin-film defects
Pile-ups, bad on the freeway, also are a hazard for the makers of high-performance strained-silicon (Si) semiconductor devices. view more (2006-07-10)
Older and poorer bowel cancer patients not given chemotherapy
Data were analysed from almost 8,000 bowel cancer patients under the age of 75, who were admitted to one of 59 hospitals in Scotland between 1990 and 1994. The results showed that 8 per cent of patients were given chemotherapy. view more (1999-11-15)
Clear guidelines on oral chemotherapy needed
Current practices around the use of oral chemotherapy in US cancer centres need to be improved, say doctors in a study on bmj.com. view more (2007-01-12)
Hi-Fi failure helps to brighten beer
BRIGHTER, clearer beer could be on the way thanks to a superfine filter that owes its existence to the failure of a decade-old recording technology. In the early 1990s, Philips of the Netherlands developed the Digital Compact Cassette tape format, which was designed to give CD-quality sound on standard magnetic tapes. DCC used record/playback... view more... (2004-07-07)
Combination Chemotherapy Best Option For Treating Relapsed Ovarian Cancer (p 2099)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that combination treatment with paclitaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy could result in a modest but important survival benefit for women with relapsing ovarian cancer compared with women treated with platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most... view more... (2003-06-19)
Underutilized treatment for advanced ovarian cancer found to significantly improve survival
According to a study published in the January 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, women with Stage III ovarian cancer given a combination of intravenous (IV) and intra-abdominal chemotherapy, following the successful surgical removal of tumors, experienced a median survival time 16 months longer than women who received IV chemotherapy... view more...

Sheffield engineers have big ideas for the latest in medical scanners
Engineers at the University of Sheffield and STFC Rutherford-Appleton Laboratories have developed one of the World's largest imagers that could form the heart of future medical scanners. view more (2008-02-13)
Radiation after surgery doubles survival time for some lung cancer patients
Patients with lung cancer that has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes - located between the chest, breastbone and spine - who receive radiation after surgery and chemotherapy live twice as long as patients who do not receive radiation after surgery. view more (2006-11-07)
Placing single nanowires: NIST makes the connection
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a system for manipulating and precisely positioning individual nanowires on semiconductor wafers. view more (2007-04-30)
Delaying Chemotherapy Could Be Best Treatment Option For Certain Type Of Non-hodgkin Lymphoma (p 516)
Delaying chemotherapy until symptoms develop for patients with asymptomatic advanced low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma is confirmed as an appropriate strategy authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Chemotherapy (single or aggressive combination therapy) does not cure advanced stage low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas, even when... view more... (2003-08-13)
NEW APPROACH TO MASK-MAKING COULD RESULT IN FASTER COMPUTER CHIPS
British scientists have developed a revolutionary way to fabricate photomasks - a crucial component used in the manufacture of silicon chips. The technique could solve one of the most pressing problems in chip design - how to create increasingly narrow lines on the silicon wafer that form the chip's circuitry. Smaller linewidths enable more... view more... (1999-04-08)
Modest Survival Benefit From Chemotherapy For Patients With Glioma Brain Tumours (p 1011)
Chemotherapy in addition to radiotherapy could have a modest survival benefit for the treatment of high-grade glioma, a severe form of brain cancer, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Malignant gliomas are among the most devastating of cancers. They frequently result in profound and progressive disability, which often... view more... (2002-03-20)
Combination therapy shows improvement for breast cancer patients
Giving radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time after a lumpectomy helps keep breast cancer from returning locally. view more (2006-12-01)
Order of chemotherapy, radiation has no effect on breast cancer survival
For women who have had surgery for early breast cancer, it may not matter whether they receive follow-up chemotherapy before, after or during radiation therapy, according to a new review of studies. view more (2006-10-31)
Cancer conflict with chemotherapy treatment
Women under the age of forty with breast cancer who are given drugs in addition to lumpectomies or radiotherapy, known as adjuvant chemotherapy, may not be benefiting from these drugs. view more (2007-10-11)
Researchers Discover New Method to Treat Cancer
Research at Oxford University's Institute of Molecular Medicine has identified a novel therapeutic regimen for the treatment of cancer that provides significant advantages over the existing methods of cancer treatment. There are already a number of regimens available for treatment of cancer, including chemotherapy, which is commonly used to treat... view more... (2003-03-20)
HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops. view more (2006-06-09)
