Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood.   view more (2005-09-26)

Free smoke alarms to poor local authority households are a waste of time and money
Local authority schemes aimed at reducing fire-related injuries and deaths in poor urban households by providing and installing free smoke alarms could be a waste of time and money, according to a study carried out by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The study, the findings of which are published in today's... view more... (2002-10-31)
