- Steering atoms toward better navigation, physicists test Newton and Einstein along the way
02-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
''Navigation problems-how to get from point A to point B-tell us about space-time,'' says Kasevich, a professor in the departments of Physics and Applied Physics who will speak about atomic sensors February 17 in San Francisco at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). ''When we build these de Broglie wave navigation sensors, we're also building sensors that can test these fundamental laws about space-time.''

- Penn physicists track the random walks of ellipsoids, test 'lost' theory of Brownian motion
10-26-2006 · EurekAlert!
Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ago when he first described rotational Brownian motion for spheres in water. The findings of the Penn group rediscovered ideas about rotational-translational coupling first published by French physicist Francis Perrin in the 1930s, ideas that were apparently "forgotten" by the science community.

- Novel test identifies leukemia patients likely to respond to new therapy
02-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered a genetic signature identifying cases of lymphoma that are uniquely susceptible to a newly developed molecular targeted therapy. As a result, physicians organizing clinical trials of the new therapy will be able to enroll patients who'll be most likely to benefit from it.

- Putting stem cell research on the fast track
09-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed tools to help solve two of the main problems slowing the progress of stem cell research -- how to quickly test stem cell response to different drugs or genes, and how to create a large supply of healthy, viable stem cells to study from only a few available cells.

- Einstein researchers discover how a key dietary vitamin is absorbed
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found the mechanism by which the B vitamin folate -- a crucially important nutrient -- is absorbed by the intestinal tract. Their findings solve a longstanding mystery as to how folates in the diet are absorbed and pave the way for a genetic test that can save the lives of infants who lack the ability to absorb folate.

- Einstein's Magnetic Effect Is Measured On Microscale
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
A gyromagnetic effect discovered by Albert Einstein and Dutch physicist Wander Johannes de Haas has been measured at micrometer-scale dimensions for the first time at the NIST. The new method may be useful in the development and optimization of thin film materials for read heads, memories and recording media for magnetic data storage and spintronics.

- Einstein researchers' prototype vaccine could provide improved protection against tuberculosis
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using a novel approach, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a prototype vaccine against tuberculosis, that works better in animal models than the only TB vaccine now available. In this era of multi-drug resistant TB and growing numbers of people with active TB due to coinfection with HIV, the advance could herald a needed breakthrough against one of the world's leading killers.
