- NRC team uses new Quantum Technology to control molecules
10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the National Research Council Canada have developed a new Quantum Technology, described in the October 13 Web release of Science, which uses laser pulses to control quantum processes. Quantum technologies manipulate molecular scale behaviour for novel applications. The new method uses the electric field of the laser, rather than the usual absorption of light, to control molecules. This strong electric field puts forces on a reacting molecule, steering it towards a specific outcome.

- New science of metagenomics 'will transform modern microbiology'
03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
The emerging field of metagenomics, where the DNA of entire communities of microbes is studied simultaneously, presents the greatest opportunity -- perhaps since the invention of the microscope -- to revolutionize understanding of the microbial world, says a new report from the National Research Council. The report calls for a new Global Metagenomics Initiative to drive advances in the field in the same way that the Human Genome Project advanced the mapping of our genetic code.
