Researchers reveal HIV peptide's possible pathway into the cell
01-17-2008 · EurekAlert!
Two theoretical physicists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have uncovered what they believe is the long-sought-after pathway that an HIV peptide takes to enter healthy cells. The theorists analyzed two years of biocomputation and simulation to uncover a surprisingly simple mechanism describing how this protein fragment penetrates the cell membrane. The discovery could help scientists treat other human illnesses by exploiting the same molecules that make HIV so deadly proficient.

Racing Ahead at the Speed of Light
02-06-2008 · Brookhaven National Laboratory
Imagine trying to catch up to something moving close to the speed of light - the fastest anything can move - and sending ahead information in time to make mid-path flight corrections. Impossible? Not quite. Physicists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle accelerator at Brookhaven Lab, have achieved this tricky task - and the results may save the Lab money and time in their quest to understand the inner workings of the early universe.
