Harvard Scientists Create High-speed Integrated Nanowire Circuits
Chemists and engineers at Harvard University have made robust circuits from minuscule nanowires that align themselves on a chip of glass during low-temperature fabrication, creating rudimentary electronic devices that offer solid performance without high-temperature production or high-priced silicon. Women in the Korean War
This fact sheet provides an overview of the roles of women in military service during the Korean War. Discusses the Women's Army Corps (WAC), the Army Nurse Corps, the Air Force Nurse Corps, the Navy Nurse Corps, women Marines, Coast Guard SPARs, and civilian women. From the U.S. Department of Defense Korean War commemoration site. Marine Life Stirs Ocean Enough To Affect Climate, Study Says
Oceanographers worldwide pay close attention to phytoplankton and with good reason. The microscopic plants that form the vast foundation of the marine food chain generate a staggering amount of power, and now a groundbreaking study led by Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla., has calculated just how much --- about five times the annual total power consumption of the human world. At Last, Antimicrobial Paper
In case your antibacterial soap isn't enough, a new brand of paper promises to keep germs in check. In Bodyhack. Carnegie Mellon University Chemists Adapt Casting Technique To Make Or
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have harnessed an experimental technology to produce polymer films with long-range-ordered nanostructure and easily convert them into highly ordered "nanocarbon arrays."Called zone casting, it could revolutionize industrial manufacturing of nanoelectronic components. The findings are in press with the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Zone casting could help produce data storage arrays with increased density and reliability, as well as materials for other nanoelectronic devices like field emission arrays. Detailed 3-D Image Catches A Key Regulator Of Neural Stem Cell Differe
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego took a high resolution "action shot"of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system. Their findings, published in the December 8 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, provide a template for the design of small molecule inhibitors to control that switch, a protein called Scp1, at will. New Genetic Findings Add To Understanding Of Obsessive-compulsive Diso
Obsessive-compulsive disorder tends to run in families, but scientists are still working to understand how and why. Now, new research is shedding light on one of the genetic factors that may contribute to that pattern. And while no one gene "causes"OCD, the research is helping scientists confirm the importance of a particular gene that has been suspected to play a major role in OCD's development. Cornell Researchers Say Double Knocks May Be 'Soundprints' Of Ivory-bi
After analyzing more than 18,000 hours of recordings from the swampy forests of eastern Arkansas, researchers at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology have released recordings offering further evidence for the existence of the ivory-billed woodpecker. Man-made Proteins Could Be More Useful Than Real Ones
Researchers have constructed a protein out of amino acids not found in natural proteins, forming a complex, stable structure closely resembling a natural protein. Their findings could help scientists design drugs that look and act like real proteins but won't be degraded by enzymes or targeted by the immune system, as natural proteins are. Portrait Of A Dramatic Stellar Crib
A new, stunning image of the cosmic spider, the Tarantula Nebula and its surroundings, finally pays tribute to this amazing, vast and intricately sculpted web of stars and gas. The newly released image, made with ESO's Wide Field Imager on the 2.2-m ESO/MPG Telescope at La Silla, covers 1 square degree on the sky and could therefore contain four times the full moon.
