- UCLA and NYU microbiologists crack genome of a parasite that causes a common STD
01-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at UCLA and NYU have deciphered the genome of the parasite causing trichomoniasis, and their research may lead to new approaches to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this common sexually transmitted disease. Trichomoniasis affects an estimated 170 million people a year, with more than five million cases reported in North America.

- Cellulose nanocrystal research could lead to new vaccines, computer inks
03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
A wood scientist is attaching antibodies to the surface of cellulose crystals. This design enables the nanocrystals to block cell receptors in the body. The process may eventually be used to create vaccines. Through the same receptor-blocking method, this process can combat the effects of some diseases involving inflammation of blood vessels, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and certain cancers.

- NRL generates, modulates, and electrically detects pure spin currents in silicon
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
NRL scientists have generated, modulated and electrically detected a pure spin current in silicon, the semiconductor used most widely in the electronic device industry. This demonstration is a key enabling step for developing devices which rely on electron spin rather than electron charge, an emergent field known as "semiconductor spintronics." Progress in this field is expected to lead to devices which provide higher performance with lower power consumption and heat dissipation.

- Using a magnet to tune a magnet
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
An international research team, led by scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, has found a way to switch a material's magnetic properties from "hard" to "soft" and back again -- something which could lead to new ways of controlling electromagnetic devices. The research will appear in the journal Nature on Aug. 2, and shows how a magnet can be "tuned" by subjecting it to a second magnetic field, perpendicular to the original.

- UCLA scientists working to create smaller, faster integrated circuits
12-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Integrated circuits are the "brain" in computers, cell phones, and many other electronic devices. A team of UCLA scientists has demonstrated substantial improvements in integrated circuits, also known as silicon chips, achieved not by costly improvements in manufacturing, but by improved computer-aided design software based on better mathematical algorithms.

- New research may lead to better climate models for global warming, El Niсo
12-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
From nine different countries, 150 scientists are starting a program to gain insights about the Earth's climate and the complex system involving the oceans, atmosphere and land. They are studying the Southeastern Pacific Ocean off South America's west coast -- research that should improve global computer climate models, which would lead to improved predictions about global warming and El Niсos, said C. Roberto Mechoso, UCLA professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, who chairs the program.

- Advance by chemists may lead to better displays on laptop computers, cell phones
09-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers. The research could lead to a brighter polarized light source for LEDs in laptop computers, cell phones and other consumer electronics devices.

- ASU, Walter Reed researchers create prosthesis of the future
05-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus and the Military Amputee Research Program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are teaming up to create the next generation of powered prosthetic devices based on lightweight energy storing springs. The device, nicknamed SPARKy, short for Spring Ankle with Regenerative Kinetics, will be a first-of-its-kind smart, active and energy-storing transtibial (below-the-knee) prosthesis.
