- NIST physicists boost 'entanglement' of atom pairs
10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
Physicists at NIST have taken a significant step toward transforming entanglement -- an atomic-scale phenomenon described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" -- into a practical tool. They demonstrated a method for refining entangled atom pairs, a process called purification, so they can be more useful in quantum computers and communications systems, emerging technologies that exploit the unusual rules of quantum physics for pioneering applications such as "unbreakable" data encryption.

- Stanford scientists make major breakthrough in regenerative medicine
04-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
Findings described in a new study by Stanford scientists may be the first step toward a major revolution in human regenerative medicine -- a future where advanced organ damage can be repaired by the body itself. In the May 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, researchers show that a human evolutionary ancestor, the sea squirt, can correct abnormalities over a series of generations, suggesting that a similar regenerative process might be possible in people.

- Study: Not just a menopausal symptom -- men have hot flashes, too
04-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study in Psychophysiology confirms a surprising fact -- men who have undergone chemical castration for conditions such as prostate cancer experience hot flashes similar to those experienced by menopausal women. Using a technique called sternal skin conductance, doctors were able to positively identify hot flashes in males, a positive step toward providing therapy for those patients in need.

- The aging brain: Failure to communicate
12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers has shown that normal aging disrupts communication between different regions of the brain. The new research, which used advanced medical imaging techniques to look at the brain function of 93 healthy individuals from 18 to 93 years old, shows that this decline happens even in the absence of serious pathologies like Alzheimer's disease.
