Nanotechnologists Specify Limitation For Devising Small Machines

...face, an idea first proposed by pioneering quantum physicists in the late 1920s. The measurement tells nanotechnologists how small they can make extremely tiny devices before a microscopic force between atoms and surfaces, called van der Waals interaction, becomes a concern. The result is important both for n...

UK Computer Grid In Bird Flu Fight

...ed in the UK was originally built to help particle physicists examine the huge amounts of data from their experiments. But it is now part of a wider project called EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE), that lets other scientists share its resources. As Professor Tony Doyle, Project Leader for the UK particle phy...

Radiation Cocktail May Reduce Risk of Damage To Other Organs In Breast Cancer

... to the tumor region hard to predict. Nonetheless, physicists can calculate the probability for a given beam to follow a desired trajectory. Therefore, Li and Ma use computers to simulate billions of trips of each beam to the unique landscape of each tumor. Gathering the statistics from these billions of tr...

...raman and K.R. Narayanan as well as Nobel laureate physicists C.V. Raman and S. Chandrasekar. Among the dignitaries present at the glittering function were Tamil Nadu Governor S.S. Barnala, who is also chancellor of the university, outgoing vice-chancellor S.P. Thyagarajan and S. Ramachandran, the next vice-c...

Bottleneck in Blood Supply Makes Brain Vulnerable to Strokes

A team of University of California, San Diego physicists and neuroscientists has discovered a bottleneck in the network of blood vessels// in the brain that makes it vulnerable to strokes. The finding may explain the origin of the puzzling damage to the brain’s gray matter often detected in brain scans, es...

Physicists Unite To Develop Anthrax Detection Method

...group of 11 other researchers, including Texas A&M physicists Dmitry Pestov, Gombojav O. Ariunbold, Xi Wang, Mia...i V. Sokolov, and Vladimir A. Sautenkov, Princeton physicists Arthur Dogariu and Yu Huang, and joint Texas A&M and Princeton scientists Robert K. Murawski and Yur...

New Brain Neuromarker May Shed Light on Autism and Schizophrenia

...s. An ever increasing number of mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists in collaboration with neuroscientists are trying to understand how patterns are generated in the human brain and their relation to behavior, said Dr. Gary Perry, dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. This cross-di...

Impotence and Incontinence Greatly Reduced With New Prostate Cancer Treatment

... of urologists, radiation oncologists and clinical physicists working closely together, they were able (and continue) to achieve excellent results with minimum side-effects. With a radiation source inside rather than outside the body, there is no need to penetrate healthy tissue in order to reach the target. ...

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy a New Step in Breast Cancer Treatment

...ation medicine specialists (radiation oncologists, physicists and therapists) and nurses to perform its first procedure. It marked the first time that the portable intrabeam radiotherapy machine that makes this procedure possible has been used in Canada. The PMH team has since treated two more patients. "The p...
