Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step forward to controlled nuclear fusion. The device... view more... (2003-09-05)
On a 'roll': MIT researchers devise new cell-sorting system
Capitalizing on a cell's ability to roll along a surface, MIT researchers have developed a simple, inexpensive system to sort different kinds of cells - a process that could result in low-cost tools to test for diseases such as cancer, even in remote locations. view more (2008-03-10)
