Computing Catches Up With Theory: Modeling The Formation Of Blood Clot
New computing tools have allowed Peter Richardson, a professor of engineering and physiology at Brown University, to test ideas about blood flow and clotting that he first proposed over 30 years ago. The collaboration with mathematics colleagues Igor Pivkin and George Karniadakis resulted in a model that integrates fluid dynamics with platelet biochemistry and could provide new insights into the treatment and prevention of strokes and heart attacks.

Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center in today's Cancer Research journal. Official Kilogram Losing Mass: Scientists Propose Redefining It As A P
How much is a kilogram? It turns out that nobody can say for sure, at least not in a way that won't change ever so slightly over time. The official kilogram -- a cylinder cast 118 years ago from platinum and iridium and known as the International Prototype Kilogram or "Le Gran K"-- has been losing mass, about 50 micrograms at last check. Now two US professors say it's time to define the kilogram in a new and more elegant way. They've launched a campaign aimed at redefining the kilogram as the mass of a very large -- but precisely-specified -- number of carbon-12 atoms. 21st Century Technology Cracks Alchemists' Secret Recipe
A 500-year old mystery surrounding the centerpiece of the alchemists' lab kit has been solved by UCL (University College London) and Cardiff University archaeologists. The Supreme Court of the United States: Highest Court in the Land

Possible Relationship Between Myopathies And Celiac Disease
Inflammatory myopathies are immunological diseases that lead to inflammations in muscular tissue. As of yet, little is known about the cause of these myopathies, but it is believed to be an abnormal immune response by our bodies. Since celiac disease has occasionally been reported in patients with inflammatory myopathies, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona researchers are investigating the relationship between myopathy and intolerance to gluten.
