 Can You Feel The Heat? Tiny Hair-like Cell Structures, Your Cilia, Can
Scientists have found a previously unrecognized role for tiny hair-like cell structures known as cilia: They help form our sense of touch. Cilia, tail-like projections found on the surface of cells, are perhaps best known as molecular flippers that help cells move around. Naturally Occurring Chemical In Brain Enhances Visual Processing

Explosions. Storms. Waves. CGI ace Jos Stam is creating a physics machine that can make special effects look absolutely, completely real. Tiny Self-assembling Cubes Could Carry Medicine, Cell Therapy
Johns Hopkins researchers have devised a self-assembling cube-shaped perforated container, no larger than a dust speck, that could serve as a delivery system for medications and cell therapy. The relatively inexpensive microcontainers can be mass-produced through a process that mixes electronic chip-making techniques with basic chemistry. Because of their metallic nature, the cubic container's location in the body could easily be tracked by magnetic resonance imaging. Heavy, Lifetime Alcohol Users May Be Toasting Metabolic Syndrome
The risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases the more a person drinks -- and beginning a heavy drinking pattern early in life seems to add extra risk, according to a first-of-its-kind study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2004. Agricultural Tool Recruited To Help Fight Malaria And Other Diseases
It can be hard enough guessing a person's age, but can you imagine trying to tell an insect's? Engineers with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), in a quest to quash grain-infesting bugs, have developed an instrument that can do just that. To Avoid Soccer Head Injuries, Soft Protective Headgear Is Only Effect
From small scrapes to hospital emergencies, playing soccer can be painful, and even dangerous. To avoid head injuries and concussions the only effective solution is wearing a soft protective headgear, as shown by Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of Emergency Medicine at the MUHC, in a new study published in the July issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine. CES' Redheaded Stepchild
Robotic pandas, VR helmets, and plastic replica clock radios -- oh my! The poorly named CES offshoot, Innovations Plus, manages to entertain even as it disappoints. By Joel Johnson. NASA's Spitzer Digs Up Troves Of Possible Solar Systems In Orion
Astronomers have long scrutinized the vast and layered clouds of the Orion nebula, an industrious star-making factory visible to the naked eye in the sword of the famous hunter constellation. Yet, Orion is still full of secrets. A new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope probes deep into the clouds of dust that permeate the nebula and its surrounding regions.
