Monkeys Able To Fend Off AIDS-like Symptoms With Enhanced HIV Vaccine
Researchers have discovered that using an immune system gene to enhance a vaccine used to study HIV in macaque monkeys provides the animals with greater protection against simian HIV than an unmodified vaccine. Detecting Brain Infections Without Surgery
Researchers at Westmead Millennium Institute have discovered a safe, non-surgical method of identifying brain infections such as brain abscess, and an accurate and rapid way of diagnosing meningitis. Pre-operative Breathing Training Helps Decrease Risk Of Complications
Patients at high-risk of developing pulmonary complications such as pneumonia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery can reduce their risk through breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training before the operation, according to a study in the Oct. 18 issue of JAMA. NASA's Science Resources Help Agencies Respond To Katrina
NASA science instruments and Earth-orbiting satellites are providing detailed insight about the environmental impact caused by Hurricane Katrina. Images and data are helping characterize the extent of flooding; damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure; and potential hazards caused by the storm and its aftermath. Physicists Control The Flip Of Electron Spin In New Study
Today's computers and other technological gizmos operate on electronic charges, but researchers predict that a new generation of smaller, faster, more efficient devices could be developed based on another scientific concept -- electronic "spin."The problem, however, is that researchers have found it challenging to control or predict spin -- which keeps practical applications out of reach. But physicists now have found a way to manipulate the spin of an electron with voltage from a battery. Free science search for your site

Although Apple hasn't officially released the iPhone in China, that hasn't stopped thousands of the devices from flooding into the country through a thriving black market. In fact, iPhones are readily available in every major Chinese city. Medical/Bioengineering Researchers Show Titanium Debris Sabotage Arti
Microscopic titanium particles weaken the bonding of hip, knee, and other joint replacements, according to research published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and the Jacobs School of Engineering. The team demonstrated that titanium implants are safe in large blocks, but at the microscopic level, wear and tear can generate micrometer-sized particles. A Constitution for Europe
