1. Microprinting technique for patterning single molecules
   02-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new process for creating patterns of individual molecules on a surface, known as "microcontact insertion printing," combines control of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and a soft-lithography technique known as microcontact printing. The process, which can build surfaces that have molecules with specific functions inserted at known intervals, has potential applications ranging from analysis of biochemical mixtures to molecular-scale electronic components.

3. Huddling and a drop in metabolism allow penguins to survive the South Pole cold
   01-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Emperor penguins endure their incubation and fast for four dark and bitterly cold months each year. The tight huddling among these South Pole penguins is a key energy-saving mechanism that allows them to endure the extremely harsh conditions. Huddling and a drop in metabolism allow penguins to survive the biting South Pole cold.

4. Deflecting damage: Flexible electronics aid brain injury research
   04-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Flexible electronic membranes may overcome a longstanding dilemma faced by brain researchers: How to replicate injuries in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to physical trauma. The systems could allow far more nuanced studies of brain injury than previously possible and may lead to better treatments in the minutes and hours immediately following the injury.

5. Anesthesia pouch allows children to go home sooner after surgery
   11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Children recovering from orthopaedic surgery feel less pain and leave the hospital sooner when they go home with a small pouch that delivers local anesthetic agents and blocks pain transmission from surgical sites. Already used in adults, doctors at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia adapted the technique for children.
