Toy Fair Resembles CES for Kids The big trend at this year's American International Toy Fair is mature technology created for young users. Alexander Gelfand reports from New York. Nanoscientists Provide New Picture Of Semiconductor Material For almost a decade, scientists thought they understood the surface structure of cubic gallium nitride, a promising new crystalline semiconductor. Research by an interdisciplinary team of nanoscientists from Ohio University and the Universitat Autňnoma de Barcelona, however, turns that idea on its head. Scientists Find Possible Origin Of Mysterious Red And Blue Lights In T For years, scientists have observed unstructured silicate particles in space, but could not pinpoint the origin of recent observation of wide presence of crystalline silicates or their role in the Milky Way Galaxy. Now NASA researchers and colleagues have successfully created nanoclusters of silicates. Colorectal Cancer Risk Increased By Single-base Change In The Human Ge A single-base change in the human genome increases the risk of colorectal cancer. [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 following a 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. Researchers design self-test for memory disorders A self-administered test to screen for early dementia could help speed the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of memory disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. It could also provide health care providers and caregivers an earlier indication of life-changing events that could lie ahead. The handwritten self-assessment, which can take less than 15 minutes to complete, is a reliable tool for evaluating cognitive abilities. Ex Libris: A Weekly E-zine for Librarians This free weekly column, by reference librarian Marylaine Block (best known for her weekly mailing of best-pick websites, "Neat New Stuff"), addresses the Internet, computers, databases, people, and current events. Rapid Star Formation Spotted In 'Stellar Nurseries' Of Infant Galaxies The Universe's infant galaxies enjoyed rapid growth spurts forming stars like our sun at a rate of up to 50 stars a year, according to scientists at Durham University. Molecular basis of colorectal cancer review points to key advances As researchers and clinicians fervently look for causes and cures for colorectal cancer, a review of the molecular basis of the disease points to key advances. Nano-sized Voltmeter Measures Electric Fields Deep Within Cells A wireless, nanoscale voltmeter is overturning conventional wisdom about the physical environment inside cells. It may someday help researchers tackle such tricky medical issues as why cancer cells grow out of control and how damaged nerves might be mended.
