One-of-a-kind imaging probe reveals secrets useful for drug discovery
Good things may indeed come in small packages for scientists eager to find natural substances to help cure diseases. The challenge is to analyze material that is smaller than the proverbial gnat's eyelash.   view more (2006-10-03)

Ultracold atoms produce long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny speck of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color.   view more (2006-03-15)

Star technology aids DNA analysis
University of Leicester astronomers and biologists have patented a new way of analysing DNA from gene-chips, which may be used in laboratories and hospitals to diagnose diseases from a single drop of blood and compare gene expression in different samples. The pioneering technique uses an instrument developed at the European Space Agency's... view more... (2003-11-03)

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology Letters, an online supplement to the Royal Society's... view more... (2003-04-07)

Magnetism governs properties of iron-based superconductors
Though a year has passed since the discovery of a new family of high-temperature superconductors, a viable explanation for the iron-based materials' unusual properties remains elusive. But a team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may be close to the answer.   view more (2009-03-26)

Academy Medal for MRI Pioneer
Professor Ian Young, OBE, FREng, FRS, one of the pioneers of the diagnostic engineering technology Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has won this year's prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Sir Frank Whittle Medal. This year awarded for 'engineering innovations in medicine', and presented to Professor Young to recognise his contributions to the... view more... (2004-06-10)

Magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection shows promise for gastric cancer
A prospective clinical trial from researchers in Japan shows magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection for large early gastric cancer to be a feasible and safe method in humans.   view more (2009-01-28)

First neutrons produced by DOE's Spallation Neutron Source
One of the largest and most anticipated U.S. science construction projects of the past several decades has passed its most significant performance test. The Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has generated its first neutrons.   view more (2006-05-02)

Quantum chaos unveiled?
A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory - which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics - and the modern theory of quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-07)

Road to AC voltage standard leads to important junction
After 10 years of research, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has unveiled the world's first precision instrument for directly measuring alternating current (AC) voltages.   view more (2006-07-24)

UT-ORNL researchers take step toward understanding superconductivity
A research group at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory led by physics professor Pengcheng Dai, along with collaborators at Boston College, has taken a step toward understanding a great physical mystery.   view more (2007-12-26)

Dartmouth researchers discover chromium's hidden magnetic talents
Two Dartmouth researchers have determined that the element chromium displays electrical properties of magnets in surprising ways.   view more (2008-04-17)

Ultracold test produces long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin"-an intrinsic trait like eye color-that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with.   view more (2005-12-23)

Magnetically guided catheter zaps atrial fibrillation
A remotely-controlled catheter device guided by magnetic fields provides a safe and practical method for delivering radio frequency ablation treatment in the hearts of patients with atrial fibrillation.   view more (2006-03-31)

Superconductivity: Which one of these is not like the other?
Superconductivity appears to rely on very different mechanisms in two varieties of iron-based superconductors.    view more (2009-07-13)

Photon-transistors for the supercomputers of the future
Scientist from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen and from Harvard University have worked out a new theory which describe how the necessary transistors for the quantum computers of the future may be created. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics.   view more (2007-08-27)
