Getting a feel for the nano world
When it comes to research at the nanoscale, vision is not necessarily an advantage. The subjects are so small, no one can see them. To encourage people with visual impairments to pursue fields in nanotechnology, educators have developed a way to craft accurate, detailed and touch-friendly models of nanoscale objects like carbon nanofibers,... view more...

Financial... view more... (2003-03-25)
Virtual biopsy could make smear tests obsolete
Standard screening techniques involve removing small pieces of tissue - a biopsy - and examining them under a microscope. "This is traumatic, time-consuming and expensive," says Smallwood, "so we wondered if we could make a non-traumatic measurement that would tell us what the cells were doing." It turns out that they can, by measuring an... view more... (1999-04-21)
Discovery to aid study of biological structures, molecules
Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging works differently in watery environments, a step toward better using the instrument to study biological molecules and structures. view more (2009-08-12)
Where Broken DNA is Repaired
Ionizing radiation, toxic chemicals, and other agents continually damage the body's DNA, threatening life and health: unrepaired DNA can lead to mutations, which in turn can lead to diseases like cancer. view more (2007-08-03)
Taking Marconi`s Atlantic leap into the virtual zone
December 12th 2001 marks the centenary of Guglielmo Marconi's transmission of the first wireless signal across the Atlantic.
