6. High-frequency cryocooler is tiny, cold and efficient
   02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new cryogenic refrigerator has been demonstrated at NIST that operates at twice the usual frequency, achieving a long-sought combination of small size, rapid cooling, low temperatures and high efficiency. The cryocoooler could be used to chill instruments for space and military applications, and is a significant step towards even smaller, higher-frequency versions for integrated circuits and microelectromechanical (MEM) systems.

7. El Niño and African monsoon have strongly influenced intense hurricane frequency in the past
   05-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The frequency of intense hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean appears to be closely connected to long-term trends in the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and the West African monsoon, according to new research from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Geologists Jeff Donnelly and Jonathan Woodruff made that discovery while assembling the longest-ever record of hurricane strikes in the Atlantic basin.

8. An accurate method for preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor
   10-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a very rare pancreatic tumor with a reported frequency of less than 1 percent of all pancreatic diseases. In most patients, the tumor follows an indolent clinical course and complete resection is often curative. Researchers confirmed that endoscopy ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration cytology is an accurate method for preoperative diagnosis of SPTP.

9. Speak, memory: Research challenges theory of memory storage
   11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
   During sleep, freshly minted memories move from the hippocampus, part of the "old" brain, to the neocortex, or "new" brain, for long-term storage. This has been the reigning theory for decades. Brown University research provides the strongest proof yet of this interaction between the old and new brains -- and offers surprising evidence that challenges critical details of this theory of learning and memory. Results appear in Nature Neuroscience.
