3D Circuits - Changing The Shape Of Things To Come
A 3-D framework of copper interconnection patterns is constructed and then plated in a cheap metal foil. The framework is then placed in the mould cavity of an injection moulding machine and molten thermoplastic resin is forced into the cavity against the plated pattern. After cooling, the foil is chemically removed from the moulding, revealing... view more... (1999-09-29)

The Biochemist, June 2001 Edition, Theme: Take The Strain - Brain Degeneration
Older and wiser - Introduction by Elaine Snell Sadly, in the UK alone, one in every 100 people over the age of 65 years has Parkinson's disease. Globally, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease will double to 30 million in the next 30 years. By the middle of the century, the number of people over the age of 90 years will have trebled.... view more... (2001-06-01)

Carnegie Mellon scientists create PNA molecule with potential to build nanodevices
For the first time, a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon University has shown that the binding of metal ions can mediate the formation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplexes from single strands of PNA that are only partly complementary.   view more (2005-10-04)
