Java Earthquake: Warning In Less Than Five Minutes With New Early Warn
The M 7.6 West Java earthquake on August 8 was detected, located and sized after only 4 minutes and 38 seconds by the German Tsunami Early Warning System currently under construction in Indonesia. The location of the earthquake had been established after just 2 minutes and 11 seconds. For comparison: The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii published the location and magnitude of this earthquake after about 17 minutes. Weighing up the new kilo
Scientists weigh in with new definition for kg [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Saved by the Bell
The zombies are closing in and I'm scared. No, really. If I blow it here, and get eaten, I'll have to start the game over again from the beginning. Commentary by Clive Thompson. FDA Reviews Safety Of Heartburn Medications
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received and is reviewing new safety data about two popular heartburn medications -- Prilosec (omeprazole) and Nexium (esomeprazole). On May 29, 2007, AstraZeneca, the manufacturer of Prilosec (omeprazole) and Nexium (esomeprazole), sent FDA and other regulatory authorities world-wide their preliminary review of new data from two small long-term clinical studies in patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Two-faced Miniatures
A new method for the large-scale synthesis of three-dimensionally patterned polymer particles with morphological characteristics in the submicrometer range has been developed. With the use of stop-flow interference lithography, scientists have even been able to produce microparticles with two chemically different hemispheres. Toward A Vaccine Against Tropical Disease Caused By A Parasitic Worm
Researchers provide new details about the inner workings of a parasitic worm that causes a tropical disease called schistosomiasis, which leads to itchy skin, fever, chills, muscle aches, and liver disease that, in some cases, can be fatal. The new results may help design drugs or vaccines against the disease. Schistosomiasis, a disease affecting up to 200 million people in Asia, Africa, and South America, is spread by parasitic worms called blood flukes that live in fresh water. The worms enter the human body through the skin and move to either the large intestine, small intestine, or the bladder. Low-cost Recipe For Patterning Microchips Developed
Creating ultrasmall grooves on microchips -- a key part of many modern technologies -- is about to become as easy as making a sandwich, using a new process invented by Princeton engineers. The simple, low-cost technique results in the self-formation of periodic lines, or gratings, separated by as few as 60 nanometers -- less than one ten-thousandth of a millimeter -- on microchips.

The fight against aging has received a scientific boost thanks to an innovative study done in part by a University of Alberta spin-off company--research that dispels a hard-held belief about the natural ingredient, beta glucan. The study, published in the current issue of International Journal of Cosmetic Science, is the first to show that oat beta glucan can penetrate the skin despite years of doctors and scientists believing that the large molecule was too big.
