Combination of technologies works best against E. coli
12-12-2006 · EurekAlert!No one weapon in the food-safety arsenal will take out E. coli 0157:H7, a nasty little pathogen that's becoming far too familiar to Americans, say University of Illinois scientists Scott Martin and Hao Feng.

- Growing tiny carbon nanotube wires to connect computer chips of the future
11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Computers and electronic devices of the future will utilise technologies not currently available. An example of such a technology is the use of carbon nanotubes as interconnects for computer chips. This is now a step closer to reality with some new work from nanotechnology researchers within the Materials Ireland Polymer Research Centre at Trinity College Dublin.

- 2 drugs work better together than either alone against kidney cancer
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
A combination of two drugs works better than either drug alone for patients with renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer, according to a pilot study led by Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers.

- Blocking cancer-causing gene improves radiation effectiveness, Jefferson researchers find
11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
Inhibiting a particular cancer-causing gene can enhance the cell-killing effects of radiation, a team of radiation oncologists and cancer biologists has found. Using a combination of zebrafish and antisense technology, they've shown that the drug flavopiridol works by blocking the activity of a gene, cyclin D1, which is overexpressed in about half of all breast cancers. Similar techniques in the future, the scientists say, may enable researchers to better gauge the effects of drugs.

- Combination targets: some drugs may work best when they work together
10-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
While some targeted therapies -- drugs developed to attack specific molecules in the critical chemical pathways occurring within cancer cells -- work well by themselves, increasingly researchers are finding that they work better when teamed with other targeted and conventional therapies.

- McDowell urges focus, creativity before technology
12-28-2006 · EurekAlert!
Alex McDowell, a visiting artist and production designer of major films, has two views of the future. He could just lock himself up in a room and dream things up for the screen. Or, he could sit down with experts working on actual new technologies.

- Carnegie Mellon Scientists Use 'Green' Approach To Transform Plastics Manufacturing
10-11-2006 · ScienceDaily
Using environmentally safe compounds like vitamin C, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have vastly improved a popular technology used to generate a diverse range of industrial plastics for applications ranging from targeted drug delivery systems to resilient paint coatings. The revolutionary improvement in atom transfer radical polymerization now enables large-scale production of many specialty plastics, say the scientists, whose work appears in a special issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

- Technology could enable computers to 'read the minds' of users
10-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Tufts researchers are developing techniques that could allow computers to respond to users' thoughts of frustration or boredom (too much or too little work) by applying functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology, which uses light to monitor brain blood flow as a proxy for user workload stress. Applying this noninvasive, portable imaging technology in new ways, the researchers hope to gain real-time insight into the brain's emotional cues.

- Fluid dynamics works on nanoscale in real world
02-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
In 2000, Georgia Tech researchers showed that fluid dynamics theory could be modified to work on the nanoscale, albeit in a vacuum. Now, seven years later they've shown that it can be modified to work in the real world, too -- that is, outside of a vacuum.

- Research suggests why scratching is so relieving
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
In the first study to use imaging technology to see what goes on in the brain when we scratch, researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have uncovered new clues about why scratching may be so relieving -- and why it can be hard to stop. The work is reported online in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, and will appear in a future print issue.

- 'The Diabetes Educator' publishes systematic reviews for diabetes management
12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Medical researchers have studied many aspects of diabetes to provide self-management recommendations, but how do doctors and patients know what works and what doesn't? The American Association of Diabetes Educators has systematically reviewed the research relating to diabetes self-care behaviors, defined what works and what doesn't work and published the findings and conclusions in a special issue of their journal, the Diabetes Educator.
