Device controls electron spin at room temperature
In a breakthrough for applied physics, North Carolina State University researchers have developed a magnetic semiconductor memory device, using GaMnN thin films, which utilizes both the charge and spin of electrons at room temperature.   view more (2009-04-07)

Study offers new clues to brain-stomach interaction in overeating
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found new clues to how the brain and the stomach interact with emotions to cause overeating and obesity.   view more (2006-10-03)

Improved Spin Transistor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University’s Physics Department have developed an improved version of the “spin transistor,” a device which has the principle operating characteristics of a conventional transistor but with the added benefit of a current output dependent on the strength of the external magnetic field. This exciting new... view more... (2002-08-15)

NYU chemists create 'nanorobotic' arm to operate within DNA sequence
New York University chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman and his graduate student Baoquan Ding have developed a DNA cassette through which a nanomechanical device can be inserted and function within a DNA array, allowing for the motion of a nanorobotic arm.   view more (2006-12-08)

Findings suggest cardiovascular devices often approved by FDA without high-quality studies
Pre-market approval by the FDA of cardiovascular devices is often based on studies that lack adequate strength or may have been prone to bias, according to a study in the December 23/30 issue of JAMA.   view more (2010-01-04)

Nerve stimulation therapy alleviates pain for chronic headache
A novel therapy using a miniature nerve stimulator instead of medication for the treatment of profoundly disabling headache disorders improved the experience of pain by 80-95 percent, according to a new study from the University of California, San Francisco and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London.   view more (2008-10-10)

NYC first: Complex aneurysm treated using new fenestrated endograft stent
In a New York City metro-area first, a 93-year-old Bronx man underwent implantation of a new stent graft at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the only center on the Eastern Seaboard with access to this investigational device.   view more (2008-07-08)
