X-ray holograms expose secret magnetism

Collaborative research between scientists in the UK and USA has led to a major breakthrough in the understanding of antiferromagnets, published in this week's Nature. Scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, the University of Chicago and the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory have used X-rays to see the internal workings of antiferromagnets for the very first time.

1. 'Smart' holograms help patients help themselves
   02-04-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Patients with diabetes, cardiac problems, kidney disorders or high blood pressure could benefit from the development of new hologram technology. The new "smart" holograms, which can detect changes in, for example, blood-glucose levels, should make self-diagnosis much simpler, cheaper and more reliable, write Chris Lowe and Cynthia Larbey in February's Physics World.

3. Moon's escaping gasses expose fresh surface
   11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A fresh look at Apollo-era images combined with recent spectral data leads researchers to re-examine conventional wisdom. Several lines of evidence suggest that the moon may have seen eruptions of interior gasses as recently as one million years ago, rather than three billion years ago -- the date that has been most widely accepted.

5. X-ray evidence supports possible new class of supernova
   01-05-2007 · European Space Agency (ESA)
   Evidence for a significant new class of supernova has been found with the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These results strengthen the case for a population of stars that evolve rapidly and are destroyed by thermonuclear explosions. Such 'prompt' supernovas could be valuable tools for probing the early history of the cosmos.

    11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. The program is designed to determine whether chest X-ray CAD can help identify hard to detect lung cancers at an early stage when they are most treatable, leading to improved patient survival rates.
