A new measurement method developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses the shadow cast by a small glass probe to infer the dimensions of tiny, microscale holes or other micrometer-sized components with an uncertainty of only 35 nanometers. The technique may provide an improved quality control method for measuring the interior dimensions of fuel nozzles, fiber optic connectors, biomedical stents, ink jet cartridges and other precision-engineered products. Broad application of bipolar diagnosis in children may do more harm th

Smokers are more likely to have unrealistic body image and eating problems, and women who had weight problems as girls are more likely to start smoking early. Calorie restriction: Scientists take important step toward 'fountain o
