Study says normal but out-of-control enzyme may be culprit that signals some cells to become cancer
Working with human colorectal cancer cells, a University of Minnesota team, led by cancer biologists Zigang Dong and Ann Bode, has found the potential culprit among a network of enzymes that relay signals inside cells to regulate such functions as cell growth, cancer development and programmed cell death. view more (2007-08-01)
Listening to the sound of skin cancer
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia can now detect the spread of skin cancer cells through the blood by literally listening to their sound. view more (2006-10-17)
Astronomers get first look at Uranus's rings as they swing edge-on to Earth
As the rings of Uranus swing edge-on to Earth - a short-lived view we get only once every 42 years - astronomers observing the event are getting an unprecedented, glare-free view of the rings and the fine dust that permeates them. view more (2007-08-24)
Researchers find roadmap to next-generation cancer therapies
Pinpointing new targets for cancer treatments is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, yet a University of Rochester team has discovered an entire novel class of genes they believe will lead to a greater understanding of cancer cell function and the next generation of effective and less harmful therapies for patients. view more (2008-05-27)
Rice study: 'nanostars' could be ultra-sensitive chemical sensors
New optics research from Rice University's Laboratory for Nanophotonics suggests that tiny gold particles called nanostars could become powerful chemical sensors. view more (2006-04-19)
Researchers use smallest pipette to reveal freezing 'dance' of nanoscale drops
Using what is thought to be the world's smallest pipette, two researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that tiny droplets of liquid metal freeze much differently than their larger counterparts. view more (2007-04-16)

PRESS INVITE: Photon02 – Cardiff International Arena, 2 – 5 September 2002
Modern telecommunications often rely on photonics – the transmission of data by rapid pulses of light. Pure research and industrial applications in optics and photonics will be presented at Photon02, the major meeting for the UK photonics industry, at Cardiff International Arena on 2 to 5 September 2002. The conference part of Photon02 has... view more... (2002-08-15)
Human stem cells delay start of Lou Gehrig's disease in rats
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that transplanting human stem cells into spinal cords of rats bred to duplicate Lou Gehrig's disease delays the start of nerve cell damage typical of the disease and slightly prolongs life. view more (2006-10-16)
