Old before their time? Aging in flies under natural vs. laboratory conditions
Evolutionary studies of aging typically utilize small, short-lived animals (insects, worms, mice) under benign conditions - constant temperature and humidity, no parasites, superabundant food - in the laboratory. Oddly enough, very little is known about aging in such animals in their harsh, stressful natural environments. Could it be that these... view more... (2008-09-08)
New topical approach to treating nail fungus circumvents problems with current therapy
A novel topical therapy for nail fungus, NB-002, has demonstrated a new topical approach to healing nail fungus by penetrating skin pores and diffusing through the skin that surrounds the entire nail plate, according to a study conducted by NanoBio Corporation. view more (2008-10-29)

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)
Purdue wind tunnel key for 'hypersonic vehicles,' future space planes
By using the only wind tunnel capable of running quietly at "hypersonic" speeds, Purdue University engineers have conducted experiments to yield critical data for designing an advanced aircraft called the X-51A, powered by engines called scramjets. view more (2008-01-03)
