NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has uncovered a hatchery for massive stars. A new striking image from the infrared telescope shows a vibrant cloud called the Trifid Nebula dotted with glowing stellar "incubators."Tucked deep inside these incubators are rapidly growing embryonic stars, whose warmth Spitzer was able to see for the first time with its powerful heat-seeking eyes. Cooler, Faster, Cheaper: Researchers Advance Process To Manufacture Si
The next generation of laptops, desk computers, cell phones and other semiconductor devices may get faster and more cost-effective with new research. "We've developed a new process and equipment that will lead to a significant reduction in heat generated by silicon chips or microprocessors while speeding up the rate at which information is sent,"says one of the researchers. Saturn: Moons: Titan

From the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Research Team Isolates Receptor For Deadly Viruses; Discovery Could Be
A collaborative research team from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), the Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have made a major breakthrough in efforts to combat two deadly viruses that could be engineered for use as bioweapons. The team isolated the functional receptor for the Nipah and Hendra viruses -- naturally occurring and highly pathogenic paramyxoviruses for which no treatments or vaccines are currently available. Senior Drivers Less Likely Than Youngest Drivers To Cause Accidents, S
Drivers 65 and older are just one-third as likely as drivers 15 to 24 to cause auto accidents, and not much more likely than drivers 25 to 64 to cause accidents, according to a new study. Passive Smoking Could Cause 1.9 Million Excess Deaths From COPD In Chi
Exposure to passive smoking is linked to increased prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This association could cause 1.9 million excess deaths* among never smokers in China. The scientists found that people exposed to high levels of passive smoking (equivalent to 40 hours a week for more than five years) were on average 48% more likely to develop COPD. New Way To Target And Kill Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria Found
Putting bacteria on birth control could stop the spread of drug-resistant microbes, and researchers have found a way to do just that. The scientists discovered a key weakness in the enzyme that helps "fertile"bacteria swap genes for drug resistance. Try Adding These Superfoods To Your Thanksgiving Dinner This Year
