Rapid, Low-Cost DNA Testing
01-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
University of Rochester Professor Lewis Rothberg received a NYSTAR grant to continue working on a recent discovery by his group: how to rapidly test DNA to improve our health and make sure we're drinking clean water and eating uncontaminated food. Rothberg's new method can help forensics labs identify criminals, test water, and identify harmful genetic sequences in medical research. Rothberg's innovative procedure quickly and inexpensively identifies genetic sequences in any sample of DNA.

Not enough 'good' cholesterol makes it harder to recover from stroke
11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
People are at an increased risk of memory problems and greater disability after stroke if they have low levels of "good" cholesterol and high levels of homocysteine, an amino acid acquired mostly from eating meat. The findings are published in the Nov. 27, 2007, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

New Delft material concept for aircraft wings could save billions
09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Building aircraft wings with a special aluminium fiber combination makes them nearly immune to metal fatigue. The application of this technology, partly developed at Delft University of Technology, will lead to substantial savings. The unusual qualities of this special material can make a significant contribution to the development of truly energy-efficient, 'green' aircraft. Lower fuel consumption and reduction of maintenance costs could lead to worldwide savings as high as $100 billion.

Engineered eggshells to help make hydrogen fuel
09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Engineers at Ohio State University have found a way to turn discarded chicken eggshells into an alternative energy resource. The patented process uses eggshells to soak up carbon dioxide from a reaction that produces hydrogen fuel. It also includes a unique method for peeling the collagen-containing membrane from the inside of the shells, so that the collagen can be used commercially.

Biocapture surfaces produced for study of brain chemistry
12-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
A novel method has been developed for attaching small molecules, such as neurotransmitters, to surfaces, which then are used to capture large biomolecules. Researchers can make the technique applicable to a wide range of "bait" molecules including drugs, chemical warfare agents, and environmental pollutants. Ultimately, the researchers also hope to identify synthetic biomolecules that recognize neurotransmitters so that they can fabricate extremely small biosensors to study neurotransmission in the living brain.
