MRI spots DCIS in mice
A new magnetic resonance imaging procedure can detect very early breast cancer in mice, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a precursor to invasive cancer. Some of the tumors detected were less than 300 microns in diameter, the smallest cancers ever detected by MRI. view more (2008-10-01)
Liquid CO2 drives rapid thrust of diamond-bearing structures
Freeze-dried ice cream looks like the original product, and even tastes pretty good, but "drying" ice cream at room temperature would leave a sour-smelling, sloppy mess. view more (2007-05-03)
New study reveals twice as many asteroids as previously believed
Asteroids in our Solar System may be more numerous than previously thought, according to the first systematic search for these objects performed in the infrared, with ESA`s Infrared Space Observatory, ISO. The ISO Deep Asteroid Search indicates that there are between 1.1 million and 1.9 million `space rocks` larger than 1 kilometre in diameter in... view more... (2002-04-05)
UCSB professor's paper on safety of large hadron collider to be published in Physical Review D

Software promises more efficient design process
Mechanical engineers at Purdue University have developed software that promises to increase the efficiency of creating parts for everything from cars to computer hardware by making it possible to quickly evaluate and optimize complex designs. view more (2006-03-01)
Child abuse and neglect associated with increased risk of depression among young adults
People who were abused and neglected during childhood have a higher risk of major depression when they become young adults, according to a report in the January issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-01-03)
Subsidence: DNA profiling roots out offending trees
A new spinout company from the University of Leeds is laying claim to the most accurate identification of trees causing subsidence - using methods that could save the insurance industry millions in time and costs in disputed cases. Identi-Tree Ltd has been launched by the University's commercialisation partner, Techtran Group Ltd. Identi-Tree is... view more... (2004-04-26)
Beijing pollution may trigger heart attacks, strokes
Olympic athletes aren't the only ones who need to be concerned about the heavily polluted air in Beijing. The dirty air may trigger serious cardiovascular problems for some spectators. view more (2008-07-22)
Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery

Vanderbilt scientists invent world's smallest periscopes
A team of Vanderbilt scientists have invented the world's smallest version of the periscope and are using it to look at cells and other micro-organisms from several sides at once. view more (2009-02-26)
'Cellular antennae' on algae give clues to how human cells receive signals
By studying microscopic hairs called cilia on algae, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that an internal structure that helps build cilia is also responsible for a cell's response to external signals. view more (2006-05-05)
New indicator uncovered that can predict coral health
A new indicator of coral health has been discovered in a community of microscopic single-celled algae called dinoflagellates. view more (2008-07-21)
Finding out what the Big Bang and ink jets have in common
It often turns out there is more to commonplace everyday events than meets the eye. The folding of paper, or fall of water droplets from a tap, are two such events, both of which involve the creation of singularities requiring sophisticated mathematical techniques to describe, analyse and predict. view more (2008-06-04)
Fossilized liquid assembly: Nanomaterials research tool
From a butterfly's iridescent wing to a gecko's sticky foot, nature derives extraordinary properties from ordinary materials like wax and keratin. view more (2006-10-13)
Fat stem cells being studied as option for breast reconstruction
Breast cancer survivors might one day avoid the prospect of invasive breast reconstruction surgery, opting instead for an approach that would involve using stem cells derived from their own fat. view more (2006-10-27)
