Protein Protects Anti-cancer Gene From Chemical Shutdown
A protein that is largely absent in one type of skin cancer protects an important gene in a cell's defense against harmful mutations from being silenced, researchers report. In a series of experiments researchers show how IKK-alpha prevents silencing of the checkpoint gene by a chemical process known as methylation. Reactor Upgrades Help Researchers Study Nuclear Fusion As Energy Sourc
For about six months of the year, bursts of a hot, electrically charged gas, or plasma, swirl around a donut-shaped tube in a special MIT reactor, helping scientists learn more about a potential future energy source: nuclear fusion. During downtimes when the reactor is offline, as it is right now, engineers make upgrades that will help them achieve their goal of making fusion a viable energy source--a long-standing mission that will likely continue for decades. Long-standing Question In The Field Of Condensed Matter Physics Answer
Scientists have answered a long-standing question in the field of condensed matter physics. They investigated the interplay between the electron-electron interactions and disorder near the metal-insulator transition using simultaneous measurements of electrical resistivity and magneto-conductance. Firefighters Keep From Broiling With the Rosenbauer Water-Atomizing No
To avoid getting cremated, firefighters opt for nozzles like the $600 Rosenbauer SelectFlow EN. The SelectFlow's powerful water bore can shoot up to 100 gallons per minute as much as 140 feet away. Magnetic Tape Analysis 'Sees'Tampering In Detail
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed an improved version of a real-time magnetic microscopy system that converts evidence of tampering on magnetic audio and video tapes -- erasing, overdubbing and other alterations -- into images with four times the resolution previously available. This system is much faster than conventional manual analysis and offers the additional benefit of reduced risk of contaminating the tapes with magnetic powder.

Dysentery Uses 'Sword And Shield' To Cause Infection
Scientists have found that the bacterium that causes dysentery uses a 'sword and shield' approach to cause infection. According to research published today in Science, the team from Imperial College London and Institut Pasteur, Paris, found that shigella, the bacteria which causes dysentery, is able to invade cells, while stopping any response from the immune system. Gastrointestinal Disorders Are Associated Significantly With Sleepless
