Computer designers at the University of Rochester are going ballistic. "Everyone has been trying to make better transistors by modifying current designs, but what we really need is the next paradigm,"says the inventor of the "Ballistic Deflection Transistor,"and it's as far from traditional transistors as tubes. Instead of pushing electrons as if they were a current, the ballistic design bounces individual electrons off deflectors as if playing a game of atomic billiards. Diabetes Knowledge Has Little Effect On Improving Outcomes
A new study by Duke Clinical Research Institute researchers finds little relationship between what a diabetic patient knows about the disease and control of its associated cardiovascular risk factors or how well the patient ultimately fares. Software Might Revolutionize Glucose Monitoring In Critically Ill Pati
Researchers have developed a new computerized system to easilymonitor the levels of glucose in the blood of patients in intensivecare. A study published today in the open access journal BMC MedicalInformatics and Decision Making reports that GRIP, a computersoftware that assists in the monitoring of glucose levels incritically ill patients, saves nurses time and effort and is moreefficient than the paper-based method currently used in manyintensive care units (ICUs). The World Conservation Union (IUCN): Global Marine Programme
Background and publications from this program focusing on marine issues such as "integrated coastal and marine management, fisheries, marine protected areas, larger marine ecosystems, as well as coral reef rehabilitation, and the effects of coral bleaching and climate change."Features reports, photos, press releases, and links to related websites. From the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Tiny DNA Molecules Show Liquid Crystal Phases, Pointing Up New Scenari
Scientists have discovered some unexpected forms of liquid crystals of ultrashort DNA molecules immersed in water, providing a new scenario for a key step in the emergence of life on Earth. How Cancer Spreads By Aggregating Platelets
Scientists have provided new details about how cancer cells spread by surrounding themselves with platelets -- the blood cells needed for blood clotting. These results could help design new drugs that prevent cancer cells from metastasizing, or spreading throughout the body. Double Trouble: Cells With Duplicate Genomes Can Trigger Tumors
Abnormal cell division that yields cells with an extra set of chromosomes can initiate the development of tumors in mice, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown, validating a controversial theory about cancer causation put forth by a scientific visionary nearly 100 years ago.The so-called "double-value"cells are produced by random errors in cell division that occur with unknown frequency. The generation of these genetically unstable cells appears to be a pathway for generating a tumor.
