MIT Physicists Create New Form Of Matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Their work, to be reported in the June 23 issue of Nature, is closely related to the superconductivity of electrons in metals. Observations of superfluids may help solve lingering questions about high-temperature superconductivity, which has widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity. Reality's for Losers: Give Me Wii
Modern marvels like game consoles and T-shirts that make air guitarists' phantom riffs audible further blur the line between the real and virtual worlds. Commentary by Momus. Mechanism Of RNA Recoding: New Twists In Brain Protein Production
University of Connecticut Health Center scientist, Robert Reenan, has uncovered new rules of RNA recoding--a genetic editing method cells use to expand the number of proteins assembled from a single DNA code. According to his work, the shape a particular RNA adopts solely determines how editing enzymes modify the information molecule inside cells. Magnetic nebulae
Planetary nebulae are the glowing clouds of dust and gas that remain once a Sun-like star has reached the end of its life and ejected its outer layers. Videoconferencing Can Help Surgeons Make Their Rounds From A Distance
Using robotic teleconferencing to monitor patients after urologic surgery appears to result in similar patient outcomes and satisfaction as traditional bedside rounds, according to a new report. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in
Recalling the end of Romeo and Juliet, the 70-year-old man, Ettore, who had sat by his wife's bedside for four months after she slipped into a coma followinga heart attack, finally gave up hope and gassed himself in the garage of his family home.Less than a day later, his wife, Rossana, woke up in her hospital bed in Padua and immediately asked for him. Universal's CEO Once Called iPod Users Thieves. Now He's Giving Songs
Doug Morris, chair and CEO of Universal Music Group reluctantly agrees to let Amazon and other online retailers sell unprotected MP3s of Universal songs. How One Bacteria Colonizes The Gut And Causes Food Poisoning
Food poisoning caused by the bacteria enterohemorrhagic Eschericia coli O157:H7A results in severe abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea. In the very young and old it can also cause hemolytic uremic syndrome -- a disease characterized by anemia and kidney failure. A new study has provided new insight into the mechanisms by which EHEC colonize the intestines, which is essential if we are to develop strategies to prevent infection by this bacteria. One Million Ways to Die
The Sept. 11 attacks were horrific. But U.S. fatality statistics say terrorism is still among the least likely ways you could die. Here's our color-coded guide ranking the homeland threats. By Ryan Singel. Elusive Rust Resistance Genes Located
The discovery of a DNA marker for two key rust resistance genes is enabling plant breeders around the world to breed more effective rust resistant wheat varieties. The genes, Lr34 and Yr18, are inherited together and provide wheat plants with improved protection against leaf rust and stripe rust -- two major diseases of wheat in Australia and worldwide.
