RFID for chemicals
A new type of radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor for gaseous molecules has been created based on a standard RFID tag coated with a chemically sensitive film at low cost. The use of multivariate analysis allows these new RFID sensors to be used to identify and quantify vapours important to industrial, in health, law enforcement, [...] Deficiency Of Growth Hormone And IGF-1 Reduces Cancer And Kidney Disea
Deficiencies of growth hormone and similar compounds may reduce cancer and kidney disease late in life, but also may lead to cartilage degeneration and impaired memory and learning ability, according to research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and four other institutions. Heavenly Headphones Create Symphony Hall for Your Ears

Commercial products such as laptop computer monitors and solar-powered calculators are constructed from a light-sensitive material with a peculiar problem: When exposed to intense light, it forms defects, reducing the efficiency of the solar cells by 10 to 15 percent. Scientists have been pondering this flaw since the 1970s, because the material -- hydrogenated amorphous silicon, or a-Si:H -- has important applications for solar energy generation. A new study may have found the root of the problem. Most Breast Cancer Surgeons Don't Talk To Patients About Reconstructio
