Carbon Nanotubes Yield A New Class Of Biological Sensors
Nanotechnology researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated a tiny, implantable detector that could one day allow diabetics to monitor their glucose levels continuously--without ever having to draw a blood sample. [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma
Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. New Role For Well-known Protein: Could Lead To Lead To Alzheimer's, Pa
In a finding that may lead to potential new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, researchers report an unexpected role in the brain for a well-known protein. The new study shows that the same protein that enables a yeast cell to bud into two daughter cells also helps neurons sprout the branch-like protrusions used to communicate with other neurons. Wired Test 2007: Best of Test, Cine Sinners Beware of the Easy, Effici
With Vudu, just grab the remote, select a movie, agree to the rental fee (from $1 to $4, billed to your credit card), and without further ado you're watching it in HD! Fake Holograms a 3-D Crime Wave
Counterfeiters learn to make convincing copies of the shiny, embossed stickers that certify everything from software to baseball cards. By Marty Graham. UCLA Neuroscientist Gains Insights Into Human Brain From Study Of Mari
What can cellular neuroscientists learn about the human brain from studying a marine snail? Much more than one might suspect. "On a cell biological level, the mechanisms of learning and memory are identical, as far as we can tell,"said David Glanzman, a UCLA professor of physiological science and neurobiology. Viruses Can Jump Between Primates And Humans, Researchers Warn
Viruses that jump the species barrier between monkeys and humans can harm both people and animals, and we should take steps to reduce the risk of virus transmission. That's the message running through the September issue of the American Journal of Primatology, a special issue on disease risk analysis edited by a primate expert at the University of Washington. Potential New Approach To Treat Cognitive Impairments In Schizophrenia
A new study reports important evidence for a potential new treatment approach for those diagnosed with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is considered one of the most devastating of the major psychiatric disorders, which has three distinct facets, often referred to as 'positive'(hallucinations, delusions), 'negative'(blunted emotions, reduced capacity for pleasure), and 'cognitive'(impairments in attention, memory, and problem-solving) symptoms. Finding Exurbia: America's Fast-Growing Communities at the Metropolita
This October 2006 policy study "details a new effort to locate and describe the exurbs of large metropolitan areas in the United States. It defines exurbs as communities located on the urban fringe that have at least 20 percent of their workers commuting to jobs in an urbanized area, exhibit low housing density, and have relatively high population growth."Provides highlights from the findings and the full report. From the Brookings Institution. Artificial Life One Step Closer: Scientists Clone And Engineer Bacteri
Scientists have developed new methods in which an entire bacterial genome was cloned in a yeast cell by adding yeast centromeric plasmid sequence to the bacterial chromosome and modified it in yeast using yeast genetic systems. This modified bacterial chromosome was then isolated from yeast and transplanted into a related species of bacteria to create a new type of cell.
