Joining forces

The "resistance movement" founded by bacteria to combat antibiotics may be losing ground. By combining key properties of two different types of weapons used by the innate defense systems of organisms, a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has managed to design a more powerful weapon, hoping that this will provide a basis for novel and more effective antibiotics.

1. CDF precision measurement of W-boson mass suggests a lighter Higgs particle
   01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at Fermilab announced the world's most precise measurement by a single experiment of the mass of the W-boson, the carrier of the weak nuclear force and a key parameter of the Standard Model of particles and forces. The new W-mass value leads to an estimate for the mass of the yet-undiscovered Higgs boson that is lighter than previously predicted, in principle making observation of this elusive particle more likely by experiments at the Tevatron particle collider at Fermilab.

3. Study examines correlation between race and police force size
   10-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Empirical studies have long shown that crime rate and budget alone do not account for the size of an area's police force. Police forces tend to be larger in areas where blacks comprise a larger percentage, and many sociologists have attributed this to racial attitudes, specifically the white population's perceptions of threat. A thought-provoking study is the first to empirically examine this premise.

4. Shoulder ligament a linchpin in the evolution of flight
   12-17-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Brown University and Harvard University scientists created a 3-D model of a gliding pigeon, put alligators on a treadmill, and examined rare Chinese fossils to better understand the evolution of flight. They learned how modern birds balance an array of forces, from the pull of muscles to the pull of gravity, at the shoulder joint. They discovered that this "force balance system" changed over time so that a single ligament acts as a linchpin in today's fliers. Results are published online in Nature.

9. Penn researcher shows that DNA gets kinky easily at the nanoscale
   11-03-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania tackle the fundamental question of how DNA can seemingly violate physics. That is, if DNA is such a rigid molecule, how can it bend and coil without requiring large amounts of force? They used a technique called atomic force microscopy to determine that DNA is much more flexible than previously believed when examined over nano-sized lengths

10. Independent panel recommends strong, clear guidelines for development of marine aquaculture
    01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Congress should enact legislation to ensure that strong environmental standards are in place to regulate the siting and conduct of offshore marine aquaculture, according to an independent panel of leaders from scientific, policymaking, business and conservation institutions. At the same time, the Marine Aquaculture Task Force suggests that the federal government should provide funding and incentives for research, development and deployment of technologies, and techniques for sustainable marine aquaculture.
