Tiny Device Enables Wide Range Of Study At Liquid-liquid Interface
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are putting a different kind of "foursome"together in hopes of someday developing smart materials called biomimetics that mimic nature. Amy Shen, Ph.D., assistant professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and her Washington University colleague William F. Pickard, Ph.D., senior professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, are collaborating with a researcher at Washington State University, and one at Indiana University/Purdue University on understanding a plant protein called forisome. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on

Two major steps toward putting quantum computers into real practice -- sending a photon signal on demand from a qubit onto wires and transmitting the signal to a second, distant qubit -- have been achieved. Over the past several years, the scientists explored basic building blocks in the design of a quantum computer. Now, for the first time, they report that superconducting qubits, or artificial atoms, have been able to communicate information not only to their nearest neighbor, but also to a distant qubit on the chip. Drinking And Driving: Immediate Removal Of A Driver's License Saves Hu
Alcohol-impaired driving continues to cause thousands of deaths per year, New findings indicate that immediate suspension of a driver's license is a highly effective deterrence, and timing appears to be even more important than the severity of the sanction: the quicker the better. Apple's 'Green' Notebook Doesn't Impress Environmentalists
When Steve Jobs announced the MacBook Air at Macworld, he touted its environmentally friendly construction. Greenpeace welcomed the new eco-talk, but said Apple could still be doing more. Australian Hackers Get IPhone Working on Telstra; Analyst Says Softwar
In iPhone news today, Australian hackers succeed in getting an iPhone to work on the Telstra network. Separately, a financial analyst predicts that Apple will soon issue a software update for the iPhone. Brain's Immune System May Cause Chronic Seizures
Chronic seizures caused by traumatic head injuries may result from chemicals released by the brain's immune system attempting to repair the injured site, according to a new study. Neoprene Sleeve Equal To Knee Brace During Recovery From Some Knee Sur
Approximately 100,000 ACL reconstructions are performed each year. After surgery, patients who return to sport often wear a hard brace or neoprene sleeve to protect the knee. This study refutes common belief that a hard knee brace is more protective than a neoprene sleeve. iPhone Credit Card Reader Lets You Accept Plastic Anywhere
