Nanoparticle Implant Measures Tumor Growth, Treatment
A tiny implant now being developed at MIT could one day help doctors rapidly monitor the growth of tumors and the progress of chemotherapy in cancer patients. The implant contains nanoparticles that can be designed to test for different substances, including metabolites such as glucose and oxygen that are associated with tumor growth. Quantum Analog Of Ulam's Conjecture Can Guide Molecules, Reactions
Like navigating spacecraft through the solar system by means of gravity and small propulsive bursts, researchers can guide atoms, molecules and chemical reactions by utilizing the forces that bind nuclei and electrons into molecules (analogous to gravity) and by using light for propulsion. But, knowing the minimal amount of light required, and how that amount changes with the complexity of the molecule, has been a problem. By creating a quantum mechanical analog of Ulam's conjecture, researchers have expanded the flexibility and controllability of quantum mechanical systems. Marine Team Finds Surprising Evidence Supporting A Great Biblical Floo
Did the great flood of Noah's generation really occur thousands of years ago? Was the Roman city of Caesarea destroyed by an ancient tsunami? Will pollution levels in our deep seas remain forever a mystery? These are just a few of the questions that are being addressed by a new environmental marine research team. Scientists and Swedish environmental philanthropist Andreas Weil are collaborating on an adventure in research aboard "The Mediterranean Explorer."The floating laboratory and educational facility is taking on some of the deepest mysteries of the Mediterranean waters and is bringing together scientists from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Issues of global warming, climate change, and even biblical history are being probed in this exciting initiative. Sinkie: The International Association of People Who Dine Over the Kitc
The day after Thanksgiving is designated as Sinkie Day (Standing In Nutritious Kitchens Ingesting Everything). With tongue in cheek, the author shares letters from guilt-free Sinkies, lists ways to spot other Sinkies, and provides other useful information to free us from the guilt, shame, and embarrassment of being discovered eating with fingers over the kitchen sink. Hurricane Dean Tracked From Space
ESA satellites are tracking the path of Hurricane Dean as it rips across the Caribbean Sea carrying winds as high as 260 km per hour. The hurricane, which has already claimed eight lives, is forecast to slam into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on the morning of Tuesday August 21. Windows Security Patch Caused Skype's Failure

The president signs off on the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, which allows parents to use technology that removes objectionable content from commercial DVDs. Hollywood won't be happy. Research Shows Overfishing Of Sharks Key Factor In Coral Reef Decline
Their position at the pinnacle of the marine food chain is legendary. Now, understanding sharks and their significance as top predators--and the consequences of human activity towards them--has taken on new importance through a new study by scientists in San Diego and Spain. Some Common Human Injuries Also Common In Dogs
Like their human owners, dogs are at risk of suffering broken bones, torn ligaments, arthritis and congenital diseases. Fortunately for both pet owner and pet, there are veterinarians who can treat these ailments and get pets back on their feet. James Roush, an orthopedic surgeon at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at Kansas State University, is one such veterinarian. Shrimp Bandages Save Soldiers
