'Cutting by color': New imaging technique for more precise cancer surgery Instead of "paint by number," you might call it "cutting by color": Researchers in Massachusetts now report development and early clinical trials of a new imaging system that highlights cancerous tissue in the body so that surgeons can more easily see and remove diseased tissue with less damage to normal tissue near the tumor. Their research will be presented in August at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Philadelphia. Study shows how daughter is different from mother The mother-daughter relationship can be difficult to understand. Why are the two so different? Now a Northwestern University study shows how this happens. In yeast cells, that is. New method to overcome multiple drug resistant diseases developed by Stanford researchers Many drugs once considered Charles Atlases of the pharmaceutical realm have been reduced to the therapeutic equivalent of 97-pound weaklings as the diseases they once dispatched with ease have developed resistance to them. Caltech researchers awarded $10M for molecular programming project The National Science Foundation's Expeditions in Computing program has awarded $10 million to the Molecular Programming Project, a collaborative effort by researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Washington to establish a fundamental approach to the design of complex molecular and chemical systems based on the principles of computer science. Signals from the Atlantic salmon highway For years scientists have struggled to understand the decline and slow recovery of Atlantic salmon, a once abundant and highly prized game and food fish native to New England rivers. Biologists agree that poor marine survival is affecting salmon in the U.S. and Canada, but specific causes are difficult to determine in the ocean. Small acoustic tags and associated technology may provide some answers. IBM Research Unleashes Powerful Speech Software (PhysOrg.com) -- IBM today announced the availability of state-of-the-art speech recognition software to clients and partners exploring the development of real-world consumer and business solutions. Researchers Build World's Smallest SRAM Memory Cell (PhysOrg.com) -- IBM and its development partners -- AMD, Freescale, STMicroelectronics, Toshiba and the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) -- today announced the first working static random access memory (SRAM) for the 22 nanometer technology node, the world's first reported working cell built at its 300mm research facility in Albany, NY. Physicists Transmit Light through Opaque Materials No matter how thick an opaque "scattering material" is, physicists have shown how to weave light through tiny open channels in the material, so that the light passes through on the other side. Electronic Arts won't extend Take-Two deadline (AP) -- Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. may be retracting its hostile bid for smaller rival Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., but a deal - and a friendly one at that - is more likely than ever. Researchers discover technology that silences genes Mount Sinai researchers have developed a new gene silencing technology that could be used to target genes that can lead to the development of certain diseases. This technology could pave the way for preventing diseases where gene dysfunction plays a role. ... |
