- Printing in 3-D
09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
It is a simple matter to print an E-book or other document directly from your computer, whether that document is on your hard drive, at a web site or in an email. But, imagine being able to "print" solid objects, a piece of sports equipment, say, or a kitchen utensil, or even a prototype car design for wind tunnel tests. US researchers suggest such 3-D printer technology will soon enter the mainstream once a killer application emerges.

- NRC team uses new Quantum Technology to control molecules
10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the National Research Council Canada have developed a new Quantum Technology, described in the October 13 Web release of Science, which uses laser pulses to control quantum processes. Quantum technologies manipulate molecular scale behaviour for novel applications. The new method uses the electric field of the laser, rather than the usual absorption of light, to control molecules. This strong electric field puts forces on a reacting molecule, steering it towards a specific outcome.

- 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.
