Researchers Create New Super-thin Laser Mirror
Engineers at UC Berkeley have created a new high-performance mirror that packs the same 99.9 percent reflective punch as current high-grade mirrors, but in a package that is 20 times thinner and easier to manufacture. The new mirror could dramatically improve the design and efficiency of next generation laser optics for such devices as high-definition DVD players, computer circuits and laser printers. Lychnis Moth (Hadena Bicruris) Lays More Eggs In Isolated Areas
The Lychnis moth (Hadena bicruris) is laying more eggs on white campion (Silene latifolia), due to the increasing fragmentation of the countryside. Dutch researcher Jelmer Elzinga studied how many white campion seeds were eaten by Lychnis moth caterpillars at various locations along the River Waal. Chest Radiographs Can Predict Risk Of Death In SARS Patients
Radiologists can estimate the risk of death to a SARS patient by the seventh day from the onset of symptoms by using chest radiographs, according to a new study by researchers in Hong Kong. This early determination can allow a physician to better tailor treatment for the SARS patient. Labor Day Marks Appreciation of U.S. Workers

When it comes to treating HIV-positive patients with blood cancers, not all lymphomas are created equal, according to hematologists from the University of Southern California. Qubit Link Could Pave The Way For World's Most Powerful Computers
Scientists at The University of Manchester have made a major breakthrough which could pave the way for a new type of high-speed computer. Professor Richard Winpenny, of the School of Chemistry and a team of international researchers, have discovered a new method which could hold the key to creating the first practical quantum computers. If built, quantum computers would be the most powerful computers ever made, with speeds millions of times faster than the average PC for some calculations.
