Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet." view more (2008-11-18)
Antitumor agent under the microscope
Mechanical stabilization of DNA keeps tumor cells in check Cisplatin is one of the most widely employed cancer medications. As with many other chemotherapy agents, the mechanism by which it works has not been fully researched. Now, thanks to Munich physicists Hermann E. Gaub, Rupert Krautbauer, and Hauke Clausen-Schaumann, an important step toward... view more... (2000-10-30)
Delays in Radiation Therapy Lead to Increased Breast Cancer Recurrence
A new analysis of the National Cancer Institute's cancer registry has found that as many as one in five older women experience delayed or incomplete radiation treatment following breast-conserving surgery, and that this suboptimal care can lead to worse outcomes. view more (2008-12-02)
Laser scientists take step towards making fusion energy a reality
Scientists from the UK and Japan may have taken us one step further to the reality of fusion energy with a new answer to an old problem. Research by Dr Ryosuke Kodama and his colleagues at Osaka University, Japan and the UK team published in Nature on Thursday 23 August details a new technique for using lasers to start the fusion reaction. The... view more... (2001-08-20)
Scientists design simple dipstick test for cocaine, other drugs
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a simple "dipstick" test for detecting cocaine and other drugs in saliva, urine or blood serum. view more (2006-11-14)
Cancer drug delivery research at Case Western Reserve University cuts time from days to hours
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a technique that has the potential to deliver cancer-fighting drugs to diseased areas within hours, as opposed to the two days it currently takes for existing delivery systems. view more (2008-07-23)
Gold Solution for Enhancing Nanocrystal Electrical Conductance
In a development that holds much promise for the future of solar cells made from nanocrystals, and the use of solar energy to produce clean and renewable liquid transportation fuels, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have reported a technique by which the electrical conductivity... view more...

New technique yields more detailed picture of chromatin structure
University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of genetic material and proteins that makes up the chromosomes. view more (2008-04-17)
Gold nanoparticles, radiation combo may slow Alzheimer's
Chemists in Chile and Spain have identified a new approach for the possible treatment of Alzheimer's disease that they say has the potential to destroy beta-amyloid fibrils and plaque - hypothesized to contribute to the mental decline of Alzheimer's patients. view more (2006-01-05)
Club drugs inflict damage similar to traumatic brain injury
What do suffering a traumatic brain injury and using club drugs have in common"? University of Florida researchers say both may trigger a similar chemical chain reaction in the brain, leading to cell death, memory loss and potentially irreversible brain damage. view more (2007-11-30)
UCF technique promises to aid doctor's ability to identify, treat bacterial infections
