Magnetic microchip signals new direction in computing
Durham University scientists have successfully carried out a basic computer operation using a magnetic microchip - a major step along the way to establishing a new generation of electronics and computer technology. They are working in the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology, harnessing the magnetic properties of electrons, rather than their... view more... (2002-06-11)

Magnet Made Of Pure Carbon
All known magnets contain metals and so far scientists believed that non-metallic material could not behave like a strong magnet. However, at the end of 20th century, some organic substances with strong magnetic properties were found, but they were magnetic only at very low temperatures, just above liquid helium. It seemed impossible to obtain... view more... (2001-10-24)

LDL particle measurement by NMR recognized by ADA, ACC
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) issued a consensus statement today that states the measurement of LDL particle number by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the more accurate ways to evaluate cardiometabolic risk (CMR).   view more (2008-03-31)

Researchers reveal mystery of bacterial magnetism
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Purdue University have shed light on one of microbiology's most fascinating mysteries-why some bacteria are naturally magnetic.   view more (2006-10-23)

Experimental atomic clock uses ytterbium 'pancakes'
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working with Russian colleagues have significantly improved the design of optical atomic clocks that hold thousands of atoms in a lattice made of intersecting laser beams.   view more (2006-03-07)

3-D imaging -- first insights into magnetic fields

Einstein's magnetic effect is measured on microscale
A gyromagnetic effect discovered by Albert Einstein and Dutch physicist Wander Johannes de Haas-the rotation of an object caused by a change in magnetization-has been measured at micrometer-scale dimensions for the first time at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-10-02)

Mars Express discovers aurorae on Mars
ESA's Mars Express spacecraft has for the first time ever detected an aurora on Mars. This aurora is of a type never previously observed in the Solar System.   view more (2005-06-10)

MRE could provide a definitive diagnosis for people with muscle pain, Mayo Clinic study shows
An estimated nine million men and women in the United States live with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition marked by pain that permeates muscles in the neck, back and shoulders.   view more (2007-11-30)

Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.   view more (2008-07-29)

Magnetic atoms of gold, silver and copper have been obtained
An international team led by Physics and Chemistry teams from the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and directed by Professor Jose Javier Saiz Garitaonandia, has achieved, by means of a controlled chemical process, that atoms of gold, silver and copper - intrinsically non-magnetic (not attracted to... view more...

With BYU partner, FSU's Magnet Lab researchers deciphering flu virus
As the Northern Hemisphere braces for another flu season, researchers at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory are making strides toward better understanding the mechanics of the virus that causes it - a virus that kills between one-quarter and one-half million people each year.   view more (2006-11-10)

UK researchers develop novel treatment for fibroids
UK researchers have developed a novel method of treating uterine fibroids that allows women to be treated under local anaesthetic as outpatients. Their technique, which uses a laser guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is reported today (Friday 27 September) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction.* Around a... view more...

Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe.   view more (2006-03-31)

Measurements from the edge: magnetic properties of thin films
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), together with colleagues from IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have pushed the measurement of thin films to the edge-literally-to produce the first data on how the edges of metallic thin films contribute to their magnetic properties.   view more (2007-10-01)

A new technique devised by MIT engineers may one day help physicians detect cancerous tumors during early stages of growth.   view more (2006-05-02)

Magnetic computer sensors may help study biomolecules
Magnetic switches like those in computers also might be used to manipulate individual strands of DNA for high-speed applications such as gene sequencing, experiments at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) suggest.   view more (2007-05-11)

Protein structure determined in living cells
The function of a protein is determined both by its structure and by its interaction partners in the cell. Until now, proteins had to be isolated for analyzing them.   view more (2009-03-05)

Neurological effects of childhood sleep apnea
In this study, Ann Halbower and colleagues from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine looked at 19 children aged 6-16 y with OSA and compared them with 12 healthy controls.   view more (2006-08-22)

Turning sound into light
Actors who perform in musicals often sweat in torrents when they have to zap around the stage on roller-skates or sing a ballad under a burning spotlight, dressed in bearskin. To allow the audience to hear them clearly, the artists wear cleverly hidden microphones underneath their make-up and costume. But as soon they break into a sweat, the... view more... (2003-09-18)
