Pioneering NASA Spacecraft Mark Thirty Years Of Flight
NASA's two venerable Voyager spacecraft are celebrating three decades of flight as they head toward interstellar space. Their ongoing odysseys mark an unprecedented and historic accomplishment. Voyager 2 launched on Aug. 20, 1977, and Voyager 1 launched on Sept. 5, 1977. They continue to return information from distances more than three times farther away than Pluto. Beemers Getting Satellite Service
Autopia has learned that BMW's X5 includes a system that lets you download, play and record any content you would otherwise get on TV or radio. Electric Toothbrushes May Be Better At Fighting Plaque, Gum Disease
Powered toothbrushes with circular bristle heads that rotate in alternating directions are better at removing plaque and reducing the risk of gum disease than ordinary manual toothbrushes, a review of recent studies concludes. Vasopressin Caution In Septic Shock, Animal Study Suggests
Vasopressin should be used with great caution for the treatment of hypotension in septic shock, according to new results. The experiments -- conducted in pigs -- show it can significantly reduce blood flow to vital organs. Research Points To New Theory Driving Evolutionary Changes
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have used canine DNA to identify a genetic mutation mechanism they believe is responsible for rapid evolutionary changes in the physical appearance of many species. Avian Flu In Perspective: New England Journal Article Reviews 'Spectac
An article by Robert Belshe, M.D., of Saint Louis University School of Medicine in this week's New England Journal of Medicine reviews recent "spectacular achievements of contemporary molecular biology"that hold great importance as the world prepares for a possible flu pandemic. These achievements "may enable us to track viruses years before they develop the capacity to replicate with high efficiency in humans,"writes Belshe. Disposable Sensor Uses DNA To Detect Hazardous Uranium Ions
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a simple, disposable sensor for detecting hazardous uranium ions, with sensitivity that rivals the performance of much more sophisticated laboratory instruments. World's Largest Interferometer With Moving Optical Telescopes On Track
By the end of 2006, Paranal will be home to four operational ATs that may be placed at 30 different positions and thus be combined in a very large number of ways ("baselines"). This will enable the VLTI to operate with enormous flexibility and, in particular, to obtain extremely detailed (sharp) images of celestial objects - ultimately with a resolution that corresponds to detecting an astronaut on the Moon. Genetic Defects Give The Immune System The Green Light To Attack The P
Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have found genetic regions that, when defective, allow the immune system to attack the pancreas -- the first in a series of mis-steps that lead to type 1 diabetes. Armed with these findings, published today, March 22, in the journal Immunity, the researchers are now trying to hone in on the exact genes involved, in mice and in human patients. Findings Key For Understanding, Interpreting Genetic Testing For Long
Results of a long QT syndrome (LQTS) study play an important role in understanding genetic testing's role in diagnosing disease, according to researchers.
