| Cassini finds Titan lake is like a Namibia mudflat Posted: 20 Apr 2012 06:40 AM PDT A new study analyzing data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests that the lake, known as Ontario Lacus, behaves most similarly to what we call a salt pan on Earth.  |
| Window of opportunity to prevent cerebral palsy discovered: Nanodrugs work in newborn rabbits Posted: 18 Apr 2012 11:37 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated that a nanotechnology-based drug treatment in newborn rabbits with cerebral palsy enabled dramatic improvement of movement disorders and the inflammatory process of the brain that causes many cases of CP. The findings strongly suggest that there may be an opportunity immediately after birth for drug treatment that could minimize CP.  |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2012 10:48 AM PDT A new type of quantum bit called a "phase-slip qubit" has enabled the world's first-ever experimental demonstration of coherent quantum phase slip. The groundbreaking result sheds light on an elusive phenomenon whose existence -- a natural outcome of the theory of superconductivity -- has long been speculated, but never actually observed.  |
| Good vibrations in fight against cancer Posted: 18 Apr 2012 06:55 AM PDT Researchers have built medicine-toting nanochains that penetrate tumors and explode a payload of chemotherapy drug into the core of cancer. In tests on rats and mice, the technology took out far more cancer cells, inhibited tumor growth better and extended life longer than traditional chemotherapy delivery.  |
| Neutron generation: Going from tubes to chips Posted: 18 Apr 2012 06:54 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new configuration for neutron generators by turning from conventional cylindrical tubes to the flat geometry of computer chips.  |
| Ultra lightweight construction is based on hydraulics Posted: 17 Apr 2012 05:03 AM PDT Maximum load capacity with minimal consumption of materials – this is how supporting structures in construction should be today. Researchers have now come a great deal closer to achieving this goal. They have constructed a wooden shell which is much thinner than anything deemed possible up to now. With a mere four centimeter thickness the shell spans a surface of over 100 square meters.  |
