A new metal detector to study human disease
Zinc may be a familiar dietary supplement to millions of health-conscious people, but it remains a mystery metal to scientists who study zinc's role in Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other health problems.   view more (2006-03-22)

Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively.   view more (2005-10-20)

Bright white beetle dazzles scientists
An obscure species of beetle could teach us how to produce brilliant white ultra-thin materials, according to a research team led by the University of Exeter.   view more (2007-01-19)

Stardust particles tell story about birth of solar system
Particulate materials captured from the comet Wild 2 have revealed clues about the birth of our solar system that counter some of the basic theories that the solar nebular is gently collapsing inward to form the sun and the planets.   view more (2006-12-18)

'Virus chip' detects new virus in prostate tumors
UCSF and Cleveland Clinic scientists have discovered a new virus in human prostate tumors. The type of virus, closely related to viruses typically found in mice, has never been detected in humans.   view more (2006-02-27)

Researchers demonstrate single molecule absorption spectroscopy
A powerful new tool for probing molecular structure on surfaces has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.   view more (2005-12-21)

A clearer view on biology
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] has developed a new computational tool that makes images obtained with cutting-edge microscopes even sharper.   view more (2007-03-06)

Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza.   view more (2007-01-02)

Nanotubes used for first time to send signals to nerve cells
Texas scientists have added one more trick to the amazing repertoire of carbon nanotubes - the ability to carry electrical signals to nerve cells.   view more (2006-05-09)

A wandering eye
Eyes are among the earliest recognisable structures in an embryo; they start off as bulges on the sides of tube-shaped tissue that will eventually become the brain.   view more (2006-08-25)

Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells.   view more (2006-03-14)

Scientists Image 'Magnetic Semiconductors' On The Nanoscale
In a first-of-its-kind achievement, scientists at the University of Iowa, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Princeton University have directly imaged the magnetic interactions between two magnetic atoms less than one nanometer apart (one billionth of a meter) and embedded in a semiconductor chip.   view more (2006-07-27)

Invisible for Electrons
As thin as it gets: the carbon membranes recently created by Max Planck scientists are only one atom thick. For electrons, such membranes are almost completely transparent-using an electron microscope, scientists may thus be able to examine absorbed individual molecules on the membranes, and image the atomic structure of complex biological... view more...

New light microscope sharpens scientists' focus
A new light microscope so powerful that it allows scientists peering inside cells to discern the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying has been developed and successfully demonstrated by scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus in collaboration with researchers at the National... view more...

What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time.   view more (2005-04-13)

Brain-scanning technology reveals how we process brands and products
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard University use cutting-edge brain-scanning technology to explore how different regions of the brain are activated when we think about certain qualities of brands and products.   view more (2006-03-20)

Gold bowties may shed light on molecules and other nano-sized objects
One of the great challenges in the field of nanotechnology is optical imaging-specifically, how to design a microscope that produces high-resolution images of the nano-sized objects that researchers are trying to study.   view more (2005-08-31)

Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts.   view more (2006-05-26)

UC Davis ophthalmologist to examine ancient Chilean mummy eyes
Over the next week, UC Davis ophthalmologist William Lloyd will dissect and examine the eyes of two North Chilean mummies for evidence of various diseases and medical conditions.   view more (2005-10-19)

Engineers point way to better use of nanotubes as measuring tips
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications.   view more (2005-10-13)
