New Microfluidic Devices Found To Be Effective Method Of In-vitro Fert
Technology that more closely mirrors the natural fertilization process is showing promise as a new method of in-vitro fertilization, researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have found. The researchers found that microfluidics -- an emerging area of physics and biotechnology that deals with the microscopic flow of fluids -- can be used successfully for IVF in mice. Monty Python Meets Master Chief

A recent large multicenter research study of alcohol dependence suggested that naltrexone produced a modest but significant benefit but another FDA-approved medication, acamprosate, was ineffective. Alcohol dependent individuals with a family history of alcohol dependence may be more likely than alcohol dependent individuals without a family history of alcohol dependence to reduce their drinking in the laboratory when prescribed naltrexone. Purdue Wind Tunnel Key For 'Hypersonic Vehicles,'Future Space Planes
By using the only wind tunnel capable of running quietly at "hypersonic"speeds, Purdue University engineers have conducted experiments to yield critical data for designing an advanced aircraft called the X-51A, powered by engines called scramjets.
