New Opportunities From Old Chemistry In Surface Science, Say Purdue Ch
Gold surfaces are often used as baseplates of sensors and in nanomaterials, and scientists have been searching for stable organic coatings they can attach to gold to form an interface between the organic and inorganic worlds. Findings suggest that amines may be the best candidate group of such materials. Study To Explore Using Magnets To Correct 'Sunken Chest'

Young Single Men Are More Likely To Bank Sperm Before Testicular Cance

Men who banked their sperm averaged 26 -- 10 years younger than those who didn't -- and were more than twice as likely to be single. As most men treated for testicular cancer are young, and survival rates exceed 90percent, post-treatment fertility is an important issue, say researchers.

Southern pines appear to grow and conserve water somewhat better in the carbon-dioxide-enriched atmosphere expected by mid-century, a Duke University study has found. However, any growth spurts appear to diminish over time, due at least in part to the kind of hot and dry weather that likely may become more common in the future. Thus, the researchers concluded, enhanced growth of pines may not constitute a long-term sink for human-produced carbon dioxide which might ameliorate global warming. Study Recommends Strategies For Distributing Flu Vaccine During Shorta
