- Television just got brighter: UCLA engineers are obsessed with the next generation of LEDs
05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Making LEDs, or light-emitting diodes -- which illuminate today's plasma TV screens and cell phones more efficient -- cheaper and higher quality is the obsession that occupies the daily thoughts of UCLA Engineering professor Yang Yang and researcher Jinsong Huang. They have recently achieved the highest lumens per watt ever recorded for a red phosphorescent LED using a new combination of plastic, or polymer, infused liquid -- and they did it at half the current cost.

- Physicists reveal water's secrets in journal 'Science'
03-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Equipped with high-speed computers and the laws of physics, scientists from the University of Delaware and Radboud University in the Netherlands have developed a new method to "flush out" the hidden properties of water. The research is reported in Science. Their first-principle simulation of water molecules -- based exclusively on quantum physics laws -- has numerous applications, from biological investigations of protein folding and other life processes, to the design of the next generation of power plants.

- Gene variant increases risk for alcoholism following childhood abuse
06-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Girls who suffered childhood sexual abuse are more likely to develop alcoholism later in life if they possess a particular variant of a gene involved in the body's response to stress, according to a new study led by researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health. The new finding could help explain why some individuals are more resilient to profound childhood trauma than others.

- Common rheumatoid arthritis treatment shows potential for diabetes prevention
07-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Fewer rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with the drug hydroxychloroquine went on to develop diabetes compared to those who never took the drug, according to a 20-plus-year University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine-led study reported today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In addition, those using HCQ were less likely to take medications to manage diabetes after diagnosis. The study found risk declined a dramatic 77 percent after four years of HCQ treatment.

- New clues to breast cancer development in high-risk women
09-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Physicians who treat women with the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 often remove their patients' ovaries to eliminate the source of estrogen they believe fuels cancer growth. Yet they also know that anti-estrogen therapies don't work to treat breast or ovarian cancer that might develop. That paradox has led scientists to question exactly how, or if, estrogen is involved in cancer development and whether removal of ovaries makes sense.

- Researchers Observe Superradiance in a Free Electron Laser
01-19-2007 · Brookhaven National Laboratory
BNL researchers have generated extremely short light pulses using a new technique that could be used in the next generation of light source facilities around the world to catch molecules and atoms in action. The team's findings describe the use of a laser to control the pulse duration of light from a free electron laser.

- The precise role of seminal proteins in sustaining post-mating responses in fruit flies
12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Successful reproduction is critical to pass genes to the next generation. In sexually reproducing organisms, sperm enter the female with seminal proteins that are vital for fertility. In a new study published on Friday, Dec. 14, 2007 in PLoS Genetics, researchers at Cornell University knocked down the levels of 25 seminal proteins individually in male fruit flies, testing the males' abilities to modulate egg production, sperm storage and release, and the females' post-mating behavior and physiology.

- Coming soon in fall 2008: People do less research on products that have already launched
02-12-2008 · EurekAlert!
When a new product is released -- say, an even slimmer laptop or the next generation iPhone -- people either find out about it beforehand through an announcement or see it after it hits stores. Does when you hear about a product matter? A new study from the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research reveals that whether a new product is already available when people first find out about it can significantly alter how it is evaluated.
