Smoking Doubles Risk Of Degenerative Eye Condition
Smoking doubles the risk of the progressive and irreversible eye condition, macular degeneration, and may account for almost 30,000 cases in the UK, suggests research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Deep-sea world beyond sunlight: Explorers census 17,650 ocean species
Scientists have inventoried an astonishing abundance, diversity and distribution of deep sea species that have never known sunlight -- creatures that somehow manage a living in a frigid black world down to 5000 meters (three miles) below the ocean waves. Rare Plant From Dinosaur Age
A relic plant that once co-existed with dinosaurs has taken up residence in the University of Wisconsin-Madison botany greenhouses. Known as the Wollemi pine, the plant was presumed extinct until a "bushwalker"named David Noble discovered it in an Australian national park in 1994. Breakthrough In Eye Cancer Treatment
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in a mouse model a new, locally applied treatment for the eye cancer retinoblastoma that not only greatly reduces the size of the tumor, but does so without causing the side effects common with standard chemotherapy. High Blood Pressure, Low Energy -- A Recipe For Heart Failure
Many people with long-standing high blood pressure develop heart failure. But some don't. Researchers are trying to figure out what could explain that difference. Their latest research reveals that impaired energy production in heart muscle may underlie heart failure in some hypertensive patients. The researchers assert that a molecular factor involved in maintaining the heart's energy supply could become a key to new approaches to prevent or treat heart failure. Overweight And Obesity Linked To Heart Muscle Abnormalities, Even With

University of California scientists working with a researcher from Washington State University at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Superconductivity Technology Center have developed a novel method for creating high performance, inorganic metal-oxide films using polymer-assisted deposition, or PAD. The breakthrough could pave the way for a greater use of metal-oxide films into the electronics manufacturing industry. Intel Hints at Its Own Smartphone Operating System
