- Harnessing new frequencies
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Modern technology uses many frequencies of electromagnetic radiation for communication, including radio waves, TV signals, microwaves and visible light. Now, a University of Utah study shows how far-infrared light -- the last unexploited part of the electromagnetic spectrum -- could be harnessed to build much faster wireless communications and to detect concealed explosives and biological weapons.

- Treating diabetes during pregnancy can break link to childhood obesity
08-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
New Kaiser Permanente study shows treating gestational diabetes can break the link to childhood obesity. The largest study of its kind, this research shows that childhood obesity risk rises with a pregnant woman's blood sugar level and untreated gestational diabetes doubles a child's risk of obesity. Authors looked at 20,000 mothers and children, and found treating gestational diabetes lowers the child's risk of obesity to same level of a mother with normal blood sugar levels.

- The 'Freakonomics of Food'
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
New research, in "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think," shows that most holiday overeating, is due to the cues around us -- family and friends, packages and plates, shapes and smells, distractions and distances, cupboards and containers. Dubbed the "Freakonomics of Food," the studies in "Mindless Eating" also show how we can reverse these cues to eat less and enjoy it more.

- Video shows buckyballs form by 'shrink wrapping'
10-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
The birth secret of buckyballs -- hollow spheres of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA -- has been caught on tape by researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Rice University. An electron microscope video and computer simulations show that "shrink-wrapping" is the key; buckyballs start life as distorted, unstable sheets of graphite, shedding loosely connected threads and chains until only the perfectly spherical buckyballs remain.

- Method shows promise for early detection of pancreatic cancer
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Optical technology developed by a Northwestern University biomedical engineer shown to be effective in the early detection of colon cancer now appears promising for detecting pancreatic cancer. A team of Northwestern researchers and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare physicians found they could detect both early- and advanced-stage pancreatic cancer without touching or imaging the pancreas. The new technology could lead to the first screening method for pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic patients.

- Prostate cancer increases hip fracture risk by eight times in 50 to 65 year-olds
10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Men with prostate cancer are four times more likely to suffer a hip fracture and two times more likely to suffer any kind of fracture. The hip fracture risk rises to eight times in men aged 50-65. Prostate cancer is now a leading cause of male deaths in the US and Europe. The latest study, in BJU International, shows that the fracture risk appears shortly after diagnosis and is still pronounced in long-term survivors.
