Advances by the Rice University lab of James Tour have brought graphite's potential as a mass data storage medium a step closer to reality and created the potential for reprogrammable gate arrays that could bring about a revolution in integrated circuit logic design.   view more (2009-09-10)

Study: Breast cancer in younger black women is more likely to be an aggressive variety
For decades, researchers have tried to understand why breast cancer in younger black women is such a significant public health problem.   view more (2006-06-07)

CSHL Scientists Confirm Genetic Distinction Between Heritable and Sporadic Cases of Autism
Autism is thought to be the most highly heritable of all neuro-psychiatric disorders. Yet, most cases of this childhood developmental disorder that severely affects social interaction and communication are "sporadic" and come with no family history.   view more (2007-03-21)

Next-generation, high-performance processor unveiled at the University of Texas at Austin
The prototype for a revolutionary new general-purpose computer processor, which has the potential of reaching trillions of calculations per second, has been designed and built by a team of computer scientists at The University of Texas at Austin.   view more (2007-04-25)

Early onset gene for inflammatory bowel diseases identified
A study of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in children has identified a gene that influences whether children get these diseases early in life, and points to a potential new target for treatment.   view more (2008-09-03)

New system would use rotating magnetic field to detect pathogens
Researchers at Purdue and Duke universities have developed a technique that uses a magnetic field to selectively separate tiny magnetic particles, representing a highly sensitive method for potentially diagnosing disease by testing samples from patients.   view more (2007-10-30)

Researchers directly deposit gold nanoparticles in suspension
The delivery, manipulation and assembly of functional materials such as metal nanoparticles into predefined architectures and patterns is of great interest in nanotechnology.   view more (2007-08-10)

Electronic chip, interacting with the brain, modifies pathways for controlling movement
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) are working on an implantable electronic chip that may help establish new nerve connections in the part of the brain that controls movement.   view more (2006-10-25)

New technology has dramatic chip-cooling potential for future computers
Researchers have demonstrated a new technology using tiny "ionic wind engines" that might dramatically improve computer chip cooling, possibly addressing a looming threat to future advances in computers and electronics.   view more (2007-08-14)

Fruit Fly Aggression Studies Have Relevance to Animal, Human Populations
Even the tiny, mild-mannered fruit fly can be a little mean sometimes - especially when there's a choice bit of rotten fruit to fight over. And, like people, some flies have shorter tempers than others.   view more (2006-09-21)

Gene expression profile helps predict chemotherapy response in ovarian cancer patients
A newly identified gene expression profile could help predict how patients with advanced ovarian cancer will respond to chemotherapy treatment.   view more (2005-11-04)

Genetic analysis predicts whether liver cancer likely to recur
Researchers are poised to unlock the genetic secrets stored in hundreds of thousands of cancer biopsy samples locked in long-term storage and previously thought to be useless for modern genetic research.   view more (2008-10-16)

Study shows gene candidates for predisposition
The meta analysis, which examined more than 4.5 million data points on more than 100 microarrays from mouse models, also identified more than 1,300 functional groups, including signaling and transcription pathways, which may also play an important role in establishing a capacity for a "high level of alcohol consumption."   view more (2006-04-19)

Researchers map how staph infections alter immune system
Infectious disease specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have mapped the gene profiles of children with severe Staphylococcus aureus infections, providing crucial insight into how the human immune system is programmed to respond to this pathogen and opening new doors for improved therapeutic interventions.   view more (2009-07-14)

Mayo Clinic: Gene expression profiling not quite perfected in predicting lung cancer prognosis
While there have been significant advances in the use of gene expression profiling to assess a cancer prognosis, a Mayo Clinic review and analysis of existing lung cancer studies shows that this technology has not yet surpassed the accuracy of conventional methods used to assess survival in lung cancer patients.   view more (2006-11-17)

Lab-on-a-Chip Device from Berkeley Lab to Speed Proteomics Research
In recent years, the science of biology has been dominated by genomics - the study of genes and their functions. The genomics era is now making way for the era of proteomics - the study of the proteins that genes encode.   view more (2007-05-03)

Genetic parallels found between lung development and lung cancer
For over 100 years, biologists have speculated that cancer growth shares common features with embryonic development.   view more (2006-07-05)

New technology used to construct the first map of structural variation in the human genome
Beyond the simple stream of one-letter characters in the human genome sequence lies a complex, higher-order code. In order to decipher this level of architecture, scientists have developed powerful new experimental and algorithmic methods to detect copy number variants (CNVs)-defined as large deletions and duplications of DNA segments.   view more (2006-11-27)

New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory cells on microchips mounted on the unmanned vehicle.... view more...
