- Fusing imaging technologies creates 'synergy,' helps diagnose heart disease accurately
06-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
To fight heart disease, you have to get to the "heart of the problem" by diagnosing it more accurately. Researchers did just that, releasing their findings at SNM's 54th Annual Meeting June 2-6 in Washington, D.C. SNM is the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals.

- Dental crowns reveal the diet of a species:
12-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
According to recent research, the complexity of tooth surfaces reveals the diet of a species. Scientists at the University of Helsinki's Institute of Biotechnology and Department of Geology showed that the more complex the surface of an animal's teeth, the greater the share of vegetables in its diet. For instance, the teeth of carnivores and rodents differ in almost every aspect, but if a carnivore and a rodent eat similar food, their teeth are equally complex. The results were published in Nature.

- Imaging quantum entanglement
09-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
An international team including scientists from the London Center for Nanotechnology today publishes findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple magnet. The importance of the work lies in establishing how a conventional tool of material science -- neutron beams produced at particle accelerators and nuclear reactors -- can be used to produce images of the ghostly entangled states of the quantum world.
