Letting The Spin Loose
Two properties of an electron - its spin and its charge - are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. Space Exploration 3.0 About To Begin
Space exploration is about to enter a third age where nations will cooperate to explore the solar system. Scientists predict that an imminent third phase of space exploration could inspire nations to work together in a spirit of discovery. Salmon Farming Threatens Chile's Patagonian Lakes
The production of farmed salmon in Chile's unique Patagonian lakes has doubled in the last decade, contaminating them withnutrient pollution, invasive species, disease and harmful chemicals, according to a new study. Moving farmed salmon from freshwater lakes to land-based closed systems would reduce environmental pressures and increase Chile's competitiveness in the global salmon trade. Opening And Closing The Genome: Newly Identified Enzyme Orchestrates A
A dynamic cast of gatekeeper enzymes controls access to the DNA for gene transcription, adding and removing particular molecules to open or close the genome as needed. Researchers have identified an important new player in this gene-control system, an enzyme responsible for removing certain molecules, or marks, involved in opening or closing chromatin, the material that makes up chromosomes. The activity of this enzyme is thought to be widespread, likely affecting many genes. Novel Medication Improves Ovarian Cancer Treatment
A biologic anticancer agent that prevents tumor growth by interfering with the formation of new blood vessels (Bevacizumab) may have the potential to improve the efficacy of standard combination chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. In Presence Of Fragrant Cleaning Products, Air Purifiers That Emit Ozo
Indoor air purifiers that produce even small quantities of ozone may actually make the air dirtier when used at the same time as household cleaning products, scientists at UC Irvine have discovered. Gallery: Apple Keynote

Robert D. Grober, Yale professor of Applied Physics and Physics, has combined his passion for golf and his professional expertise to produce a unique and effective real--time audio biofeedback device for teaching and training golf. Unique Recordings Of Brain Cell Activity Reveal Nature Of Narcolepsy,
UCLA/Veterans Affairs neuroscientists have pinpointed the electrical "signature"of the brain cells whose loss causes human narcolepsy, and made the first recordings of their activity. Made in freely moving rats in waking and across the sleep cycle, these recordings show hypocretin neurons are active during excitement generated by positive emotions and by interest in one's surroundings.
