Inexpensive 'nanoglue' can bond nearly anything together
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method to bond materials that don't normally stick together. The team's adhesive, which is based on self-assembling nanoscale chains, could impact everything from next-generation computer chip manufacturing to energy production.

- Color analysis rapidly predicts carbon content of soil
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Soil color can be used as a simple, inexpensive method to predict measurements of soil organic content to assess soil quality and better understand global carbon cycles. According to Iowa State University researchers, soil color predicted the carbon content of soil nearly as effective as the more expensive and tedious method of deriving colors by a chroma meter.

- Jefferson researchers show chemotherapy and radiation together extend lung cancer patients' lives
11-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Chemotherapy given at the same time as radiation therapy can help patients with a certain type of lung cancer live nearly 50 percent longer than they might have otherwise if the same treatment was given differently, according to an international team’s analysis of several trial results.

- SDSC launches user-settable supercomputer reservations
09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Supercomputers keep growing ever faster, racing along at the blazing speed of nearly one petaflops -- 10 to the fifteenth, or one thousand trillion calculations per second -- equivalent to around 250 thousand of today's laptops. In contrast, the experience of a computational scientist can be anything but fast -- waiting hours or days in a queue for a job to run and yield precious results needed for further steps. The unpredictably of queues can impede the course of research, slowing progress with unexpected periods of waiting.

- Study: Directly observed HIV therapy for children is promising
05-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
The first study in the developing world of directly observed antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected children shows this form of treatment is an inexpensive, effective way to ensure that children take life-saving medications. Researchers at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, together with Maryknoll, the international Catholic charity, conducted the study. Results are published in the June issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

- Constipation most common cause of children's abdominal pain
12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Acute and chronic constipation together accounted for nearly half of all cases of acute abdominal pain in children treated at one hospital. The study also suggests that physicians should do a simple rectal examination for constipation when trying to determine the cause of abdominal pain in children.

- Protein's strength lies in h-bond cooperation
02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers in Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT reveal that the strength of a biological material like spider silk lies in the geometric configuration of structural proteins, and the small clusters of weak hydrogen bonds that work cooperatively to resist force and dissipate energy. This structure makes protein-based materials as strong as steel, even though the hydrogen bonds that hold them together are 100 to 1,000 times weaker than the metallic bonds in steel.

- Astronomers find triple interactions of supermassive black holes to be common in early universe
01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
New cosmological computer simulations produced by a team of astronomers from Northwestern University, Harvard University and the University of Michigan show for the first time that supermassive black holes, which exist at the centers of nearly all galaxies, often come together during triple galaxy interactions. The theoretical results are of special interest because of the recent discovery by astronomers at the California Institute of Technology of a possible triple quasar.

- Cardiocerebral Resuscitation better than CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
11-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
New data show that in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, interrupting chest compressions for anything -- including mouth-to-mouth ventilations -- appears to be detrimental. Cardiocerebral Resuscitation, a new, chest-compression-only approach developed at the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center, improved survival rates by 300 percent and enhances bystanders' willingness to perform CPR.

- Racing Ahead at the Speed of Light
02-06-2008 · Brookhaven National Laboratory
Imagine trying to catch up to something moving close to the speed of light - the fastest anything can move - and sending ahead information in time to make mid-path flight corrections. Impossible? Not quite. Physicists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle accelerator at Brookhaven Lab, have achieved this tricky task - and the results may save the Lab money and time in their quest to understand the inner workings of the early universe.
