Wired Test 2007: The Best Gadget of All Time Revealed! You'll Never Gu
Despite poor picture quality and little market success, the CT-100 television developed in the 1950s tops Wired'sGreatest Gadget of All Time. Rensselaer Researchers Experiment With Solar Underwater Robots
A collaborative group of researchers are conducting experiments with underwater robots at Rensselaer's Darrin Fresh Water Institute (DFWI) on Lake George, N.Y., as part of the RiverNet project, anNSF-funded initiative. Surprising New Species Of Light-harvesting Bacterium Discovered In Yel
In the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, researchers have discovered a novel chlorophyll-producing bacterium that transforms light into chemical energy. The researchers also discovered that the new genus and species belongs to a new phylum, Acidobacteria -- only the third time in the past 100 years that a new bacterial phylum has been added to the list of those with chlorophyll-producing members, of which there are now only six. Smarter Inventory Control Of Spare Parts Can Result In Savings Of 50 P
Smarter storage of spare parts is now possible thanks to a new inventory model that ensures the integration of inventory control for all parts in stock at several warehouses. Both the number of parts in stock and the waiting time for spare parts can be reduced, with theoretical savings of up to 50 percent. Snoring Now, Hyperactive Later?
A new four-year study gives some of the strongest evidence yet that children who snore when they sleep are far more likely to have attention and hyperactivity problems than their non-snoring peers. Celiac Disease: Discovery Of Enzyme's Structure May Lead To New Treatm
Researchers have discovered a new structure for a key enzyme associated with celiac disease, a finding that could lead to the design of new medications for the common digestive disorder. Celiac disease is a condition in which the stomach cannot properly digest wheat and other gluten-containing foods. The disease afflicts an estimated 2 million people in the United States alone. Jules Verne Dry Cargo Prepared In Turin

A molecular bunker for fluorescent molecules could significantly improve analytical results. Brandeis Researchers Propose Model Of Neural Circuit Underlying Workin
Our ability to understand speech or decide which fruit in the store is freshest depends on the brain's dexterity in integrating information over time. The prefrontal cortex, where memory resides, plays a critical role. A Brandeis University study in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences proposes for the first time a neuronal model for the mechanisms underlying this complex decision-making process.
