- World's smallest radio uses single nanotube to pick up good vibrations
10-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
Wielding a single carbon nanotube 10,000 times smaller than a human hair, UC-Berkeley and LBNL physicists have constructed the smallest radio yet. The nanotube vibrates at radio frequencies to receive the signal, then acts as both amplifier and demodulator. With only a battery and sensitive earphones, it can pick up AM or FM. With such a small receiver or transmitter, you could put a tracking collar on a bacterium.

- Further evidence that moderate drinking reduces men's heart attack risk
10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
Even as studies have consistently found an association between moderate alcohol consumption and reduced heart attack risk in men, an important question has persisted: What if the men who drank in moderation were the same individuals who maintained good eating habits, didn't smoke, exercised and watched their weight? How would you know that their reduced risk of myocardial infarction wasn't the result of one or more of these other healthy habits?

- Countries share good times using gps and the Internet
01-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
International time coordination is improving thanks to a low-cost system relying on Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and the Internet, which enables much faster time comparisons and gives small countries the opportunity to easily evaluate their measurements in relation to others and to world standards.

- Shaky details? Come up with a good story and people might not notice
02-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new paper from the March issue of the Journal of Consumer Research distinguishes between the two ways we think of ourselves -- or, self-reference -- when we view ads. Jennifer Edson Escalas (Vanderbilt University) finds that narrative self-reference almost always leads to favorable evaluations of the ad, even if the ad's logic is shaky. In contrast, analytical self-reference can lead to negative responses if the ad's message is not well-reasoned.
