Physicians Test New Device For Diagnosing And Treating Prostate Cancer
A clinical trial is testing a new mechanical device called TargetScan aimed at improving prostate cancer detection and helping to provide detailed medical information. Preliminary tests indicate it can improve doctors'ability to detect cancer and could lead to more targeted treatments--reducing life-altering side effects like impotence and incontinence. UCLA Chemists Create Nano Valve
UCLA chemists have created the first nano valve that can be opened and closed at will to trap and release molecules. A nano valve potentially could be used as a drug delivery system. Researcher Creates First Temperature Record For The Great Plains
While temperature records dating back thousands of years already exist for certain regions of the United States, like the East Coast and the Northwest, no such record exists for the North American Great Plains. But now, a Baylor University researcher along with a team of scientists has developed a new method to measure temperature fluctuations in the Great Plains, creating a temperature record for that area of the country dating back 12,000 years.

Deficiency In Exposure To Sunlight Linked To Endometrial Cancer
Using newly available data on worldwide cancer incidence, researchers have shown a clear association between deficiency in exposure to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B, and endometrial cancer. Reactivated Gene Shrinks Tumors
Many cancers arise due to defects in genes that normally suppress tumor growth. Now, for the first time, MIT researchers have shown that re-activating one of those genes in mice can cause tumors to shrink or disappear. Physicists Track The Random Walks Of Ellipsoids, Test 'Lost' Theory Of
Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ago when he first described rotational Brownian motion for spheres in water. The findings of the Penn group rediscovered ideas about rotational-translational coupling first published by French physicist Francis Perrin in the 1930s, ideas that were apparently "forgotten"by the science community. Bottled seaside air
Bottled seaside air! It almost sounds like a scam from the Victorian era when the bracing “ozone” of fresh air at the British seaside was said to cure all kinds of ailments and led to a boom in seaside resorts and continues to ebb and flow.But, it’s not a scam.
