24-h pH monitoring and esophageal manometry are the gold standards of methods used for diagnosing GER and esophageal motor disorders, respectively   view more (2007-10-10)

Milestone in Microsystems Technology
Lithographic processes are applied to manufacturing components of microsystem technology. In X-ray as well as UV ranges the SU-8™ photoresist allows for the production of three-dimensional metallic micro structures with large aspect rations by LIGA (Lithography Electroplating Moulding)... view more (2003-10-16)

Given Up on the New Year's Resolution?
New research reveals why smokers find it so difficult to quit Despite widespread knowledge of the harmful effects of cigarette smoking, nearly 30% of the population still smoke. It can be extremely difficult to stop and fewer than 20% are successful, even with the use of nicotine replacement. The... view more (2003-01-31)

New Method Enables Design, Production of Extremely Novel Drugs
new chemical synthesis method based on a catalyst worth many times the price of gold and providing a far more efficient and economical method than traditional ones for designing and manufacturing extremely novel pharmaceutical compounds is described by its University at Buffalo developers in a... view more (2008-01-24)

Neonatal trials - asking the right questions
Gaining consent from parents on behalf of their children for neonatal trials - where new treatments are tested on new-born, ill babies - is often asked for and given inappropriately, Leeds research has shown. Dr Su Mason from the clinical trials and research unit interviewed 200 parents from nine... view more (2004-02-23)

On a Wire or in a Fiber, a Wave is a Wave
In an experiment modeled on the classic "Young's double slit experiment" and published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers have powerfully reinforced the understanding that surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagate and diffract just like any other wave.   view more (2007-07-16)

Scientists find new role for the swastika
Just a month after a call for a European-wide ban of the swastika, scientists have found that the symbol has new applications in optical communications and could have a role in quantum cryptography.   view more (2005-02-23)

Top ten contact dermatitis allergens identified in Mayo Clinic study

Astronomers hunt Martian water from Earth
As Mars makes its closest approach in almost 60,000 years, two Australian astronomers have used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii to look for signs that the planet once had liquid water - and so may have hosted life. Dr. Jeremy Bailey of the Anglo-Australian Observatory and... view more (2003-08-26)

The long and the short of it: Expanding small RNA biology in mammals
In independent studies, Drs. Haifan Lin (Duke University) and Toshiaki Watanabe (Kyoto University) and colleagues report on their identification of novel small RNAs in the mouse germline.   view more (2006-06-09)

Fossils Point the Way to Black Gold
Drilling for oil is expensive - and only too often unsuccessful: in 80 to 90 per cent of all attempts the drill head ends up in worthless sediment rather than hitting the black jackpot as intended. In this way, with every unsuccessful drilling, companies squander several million euros. Yet there is... view more (2002-06-10)

EUROCARE-3 publishes new childhood cancer survival figures
The Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, represent a gold standard for the treatment of children's cancer. They have survival rates to which all European countries that devote similar resources and have comparable health systems can aspire, according to research published today... view more (2003-12-16)

Researchers set standard for male fertility
Researchers in Leeds and the USA have developed a ‘gold standard’ for fertile sperm, in a major step towards understanding male infertility. In an article published in The Lancet, (pp772 06/09/2002) the researchers explain how they analysed genetic fingerprints from a range of sperm... view more (2002-09-06)

Brown Engineers Use DNA to Direct Nanowire Assembly and Growth
A research team led by Brown University engineers has harnessed the coding power of DNA to create zinc oxide nanowires on top of carbon nanotube tips. The feat, detailed in the journal Nanotechnology, marks the first time that DNA has been used to direct the assembly and growth of complex nanowires.   view more (2006-07-17)
