Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them. view more (2006-09-01)
Researchers approach quantum limit in third-order nonlinear light-light interaction
Researchers from Lehigh University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) have reported unprecedented nonlinear optical efficiency in some small organic molecules that makes the molecules potentially useful for optical computing, optical data processing, and optical telecommunication. view more (2005-11-15)
UCF researchers' breakthrough may help industry create more powerful computer chips

Cigarette smoke blocks cell repair mechanism, University of Florida study shows
Cigarette smoke can turn normal breast cells cancerous by blocking their ability to repair themselves, eventually triggering tumor development, University of Florida scientists report. view more (2006-08-23)
Ultra-Intense Laser Blast Creates True 'Black Metal'
"Black gold" is not just an expression anymore. Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a way to change the properties of almost any metal to render it, literally, black. view more (2006-11-22)
Scientists develop a new way to target Alzheimer's disease
The pathological embrace between two proteins plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease by triggering the formation of neuron-killing plaques of amyloid beta protein. Now a group of scientists at NYU School of Medicine have devised a way to reduce amyloid beta deposition by interfering with the deadly embrace of these proteins. view more (2006-12-05)
Wisconsin scientists discover a master key to microbes' pathogenic lifestyles
For some microbes, the transformation from a benign lifestyle in the soil to that of a potentially deadly human pathogen is just a breath away. view more (2006-04-28)
Tech Creates More Compact, Inexpensive Spectrometer
Being the delicate optical instruments that they are, spectrometers are pretty picky about light. view more (2006-02-09)
