Nanowire arrays can detect signals along individual neurons
Opening a whole new interface between nanotechnology and neuroscience, scientists at Harvard University have used slender silicon nanowires to detect, stimulate, and inhibit nerve signals along the axons and dendrites of live mammalian neurons. view more (2006-08-25)
New Unified Force Theory Predicts Measured Values of Physics
David Thomson and Jim Bourassa of the Quantum AetherDynamics Institute (QADI) released a new theory which mathematically predicts and explains the measured values of physics with striking precision. Their Aether Physics Model includes the "Holy Grail" of physics sought by Albert Einstein; the Unified Force Theory. "Our model shows... view more... (2006-06-05)
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center finds possible genetic link to pancreatic cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have found the risk of developing pancreatic cancer at a young age (under 60) to be twice as high for people who carry a mutation of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, compared to noncarriers. view more (2005-10-21)
Physicists tailor magnetic pairings in nanoscale semiconductors
Electrons love to zip around metals such as copper, especially if the metal is cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. But if they encounter a magnetic atom (say, iron) during their travels, the electrons will try to "screen," or cancel out, the magnetic atom's spin alignment by pairing with it. This pairing modifies the flow of... view more... (2007-03-15)
Size of brain structure could signal vulnerability to anxiety disorders
The size of a particular structure in the brain may be associated with the ability to recover emotionally from traumatic events. A new study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) finds that an area called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is thicker in volunteers who appear better able to modify their anxious response to... view more...

Scientists discover basic defect in cystic fibrosis airway glands
Scientists at Stanford University have determined that the buildup of sticky mucus found in cystic fibrosis is caused by a loss in the epithelial cell's ability to secrete fluid. view more (2006-03-20)
MIT materials scientists tame tricky carbon nanotubes
Based on a new theory, MIT scientists may be able to manipulate carbon nanotubes - one of the strongest known materials and one of the trickiest to work with - without destroying their extraordinary electrical properties. view more (2006-09-19)
Quantized heat conduction by photons observed
In a recent experiment, to be published in Nature on November 9, Dr Matthias Meschke and professor Jukka Pekola, together with Dr Wiebke Guichard, a coworker from French CNRS, investigated heat exchange between two small pieces of normal metal, connected to each other only via superconducting leads. The results demonstrate that at very low... view more... (2006-11-10)

Scientists Discover New Way to Study Nanostructures
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a phenomenon which allows measurement of the mechanical motion of nanostructures by using the AC Josephson effect. view more (2007-07-24)
Scientists Find Why Conductance of Nanowires Vary
A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. view more (2007-02-06)
Study reveals how cells destroy faulty proteins in cystic fibrosis
The cellular system that degrades faulty proteins created by the cystic fibrosis gene has been identified by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists. view more (2006-08-11)
Researchers win money to develop breath test to detect breast cancer
One of the biggest problems in fighting breast cancer is the lack of inexpensive, early detection diagnostic tools. view more (2006-04-04)
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)
New Hybrid Nanostructures Detect Nanoscale Magnetism
A key challenge of nanotechnology research is investigating how different materials behave at lengths of merely one-billionth of a meter. When shrunk to such tiny sizes, many everyday materials exhibit interesting and potentially beneficial new properties. view more (2008-12-09)
Innovative model connects circuit theory to wildlife corridors
Scientists at Northern Arizona University and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis have developed a model that uses circuit theory to predict gene flow across landscapes. view more (2007-12-21)
Tracking Cystic Fibrosis with Mice: DFG fellow develops an animal model for the disease
Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, is one of the most common genetic diseases with a fatal outcome in western Europe. The disease is caused by a defective gene that affects the salt and fluid composition of respiratory tract secretions. As a result, they become highly viscous. The viscous mucous then clumps in the smaller lung... view more... (2004-04-26)
