Molecular machines drive plasmonic nanoswitches
Plasmonics -- a possible replacement for current computing approaches -- may pave the way for the next generation of computers that operate faster and store more information than electronically-based systems and are smaller than optically-based systems, according to a Penn State engineer who has developed a plasmonic switch. view more (2009-02-12)
Tiny holes offer surprising insights
Researchers from Berlin and Seoul store light in plasmonic crystals view more (2005-03-04)
Experts Solve Christmas Turkey Teaser
Experts from the University of Sheffield have identified the genetic switch that helps explain which parts of the Christmas turkey are white meat and which are dark. Professor Philip Ingham and his colleagues have worked on fish muscle cells to find a genetic switch that determines muscle fibre type in all vertebrates. The full paper will be... view more...

Plasmonic Whispering Gallery Microcavity Paves the Way to Future Nanolasers
The principle behind whispering galleries - where words spoken softly beneath a domed ceiling or in a vault can be clearly heard on the opposite side of the chamber - has been used to achieve what could prove to be a significant breakthrough in the miniaturization of lasers. Ultrasmall lasers, i.e., nanoscale, promise a wide variety of intriguing... view more... (2009-01-26)
New on-off 'switch' triggers and reverses paralysis in animals with a beam of light
In an advance with overtones of Star Trek phasers and other sci-fi ray guns, scientists in Canada are reporting development of an internal on-off "switch" that paralyzes animals when exposed to a beam of ultraviolet light. view more (2009-11-19)
Denser computer chips possible with plasmonic lenses that 'fly'
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, are reporting a new way of creating computer chips that could revitalize optical lithography, a patterning technique that dominates modern integrated circuits manufacturing. view more (2008-10-23)
Syracuse University research team discovers switch that causes the body to produce cancerous cells
A team of Syracuse University researchers discovered a second molecular switch within the Mixed Lineage Leukemia protein complex that they believe could be exploited to prevent the overproduction of abnormal cells that are found in several types of cancer, including leukemia. view more (2009-09-04)
UC Davis researchers discover genetic switch involved in cells' response to radiation therapy
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a genetic switch that causes cancer cells to become more sensitive to a drug administered to enhance radiation therapy effectiveness. view more (2005-11-17)
Switch to Digital Mammography Leads to Increased Cancer Detection Rates
The use of digital mammography equipment alone is responsible for an increased number of breast cancers detected at a community-based mammography facility, according to a study performed at San Luis Diagnostic Center in San Luis Obispo, CA. view more (2009-08-04)
Frozen lightning: NIST's new nanoelectronic switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a prototype nanoscale electronic switch that works like lightning—except for the speed. view more (2007-03-05)
Harvard University engineers demonstrate laser nanoantenna
Engineers and applied scientists from Harvard University have demonstrated a new photonic device with a wide range of potential commercial applications, including dramatically higher capacity for optical data storage. view more (2006-09-07)
Competition Policy Should Make It Easier For Consumers To Switch Suppliers
Competition policy is traditionally concerned with regulating firms: controlling mergers, price rigging and so on. But as new research by University of Warwick Economist Professor Michael Waterson shows, policy should equally be concerned with making it easier for consumers to switch suppliers, so assisting markets to work more competitively. For... view more... (2003-04-07)
Just in time for spring: Scientists find the cellular on and off switch for allergies and asthma
If you're one of the millions who dread the spring allergy season, things are looking up. view more (2009-04-30)
Boston Univeristy bioengineers devise 'dimmer swith' to regulate gene expression in mammal cells
Three Boston University biomedical engineers have created a genetic dimmer switch that can be used to turn on, shut off, or partially activate a gene's function. view more (2007-07-27)
Chemists explain the switchboards in our cells
Our cells are controlled by billions of molecular "switches" and chemists at UC Santa Barbara have developed a theory that explains how these molecules work. view more (2009-08-04)
Daylight-saving time leads to less sleep, more injuries on the job
Every March, most Americans welcome the switch to daylight saving time because of the longer days, but also dread losing an hour of sleep after they move their clocks forward. view more (2009-09-01)
For super-obese patients, duodenal switch beats gastric bypass
In the first large, single-institution series directly comparing weight-loss outcomes in super-obese patients, researchers from the University of Chicago found that a newer operation, the duodenal switch, produced substantially better weight-loss outcomes than the standard operation, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. view more (2006-09-22)
First results of the Narval trial (ANRS 088)
Patients with HIV infection may develop resistance to one or more of antiretroviral drugs to which they are exposed during treatment. The selection of the most appropriate drugs for switching therapy in patients who have developed resistance, is a difficult challenge. Both, genetic tests that identify mutations in viral genes associated with... view more... (2000-04-21)
MDC researchers unravel key mechanism in pathogenesis of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, or bone loss, is a disease that is most common in the elderly population, affecting women more often than men. view more (2009-05-15)
Banking Customers Seek the Personal Touch
The personal touch and face-to-face contact are still number one with Scottish banking customers. Despite the growth in alternatives like telephone and on-line banking, a new report from Heriot-Watt University's Social Enterprise Institute (SEI) reveals that branch services are the most important thing for customers. The survey, involving... view more... (2004-01-19)
