4. In tiny supercooled clouds, physicists exchange light and matter
   02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Physicists have for the first time stopped and extinguished a light pulse in one part of space and then revived it in a completely separate location. They accomplished this feat by completely converting the light pulse into matter that travels between the two locations and is subsequently changed back to light.Matter, unlike light, can easily be manipulated, and the experiments provide a powerful means to control optical information.

9. Linking air pollutants and blood clotting in mice
   09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Air pollution is caused by any particulate matter, chemical or biological agent that changes the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Exposure to particulate matter has been linked to an increased risk of heart problems, including increased risk of heart attack. A new study in mice has now identified a mechanism by which exposure to particulate matter leads to accelerated blood clotting and thrombosis, something that can precipitate heart attacks and stroke.
