Purdue researchers use enzyme to clip 'DNA wires'
Researchers at Purdue University have attached magnetic "nanoparticles" to DNA and then cut these "DNA wires" into pieces, offering the promise of creating low-cost, self-assembling devices for future computers. Findings are detailed in a paper published online in February in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The paper was written by Purdue graduate student Joseph M. Kinsella...Researchers Discover That Microbes Can Produce Miniature Electrical Wires
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered a tiny biological structure that is highly electrically conductive. This breakthrough helps describe how microorganisms can clean up groundwater and produce electricity from renewable resources. It may also have applications in the emerging field of nanotechnology, which develops advanced materials and devices in extremely sma...How monarch butterflies are wired for navigation
In their extraordinary annual migration from North America to Mexico, monarch butterflies are known to use the angle of polarized sunlight as a celestial guide to help them keep to a straight and true path southward. But details of their navigational machinery have remained a mystery. Now, researchers, led by Steven Reppert of University of Massachusetts Medical School, Ivo Sauman of the C...Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Use of minuscule devices to spot cancer markers could lead to ultra-powerful new diagnostics Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires -- even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of bl...The brain is broadly wired for reproduction
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a vast network of neurons in the brain of mice that governs reproduction and controls the effects of reproductive status on other brain functions. In their studies, the researchers found neural circuits that coordinate a complex interplay between neurons that control reproduction and brain areas that carry the neural signals trigg...Cingular Wireless to invest $300 million in Illinois and Wisconsin
Nationwide, the company will spend $6.2 billion to enhance and expand its Allover network nationwide over the next year. Earlier year,...Wireless Are you at Risk and Liable?
Recently, I was at a security conference and stayed at a hotel, which promoted wireless Internet service for $9.95 per day. They claimed that they had implemented it so only those on the first floor could get wireless Internet access. I do not purchase wireless Internet service when Im at seminars because I usually get access to my network at the seminar hosts office. Out of curiosity,...Techware to extend broadband wireless network to Butler

The time is not fat when doctors would sport gadgets like those in star wars. Moving in that direction Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has started using cutting edge technology to stay in touch.// This is the first time in the UK that this tech is being tested, which allows staff in different locations to talk over a wireless network. They use badges which are hands free de...Differently Wired and Gay – Are They Children of a Lesser God
Marriages (read heterosexual) are made in heaven, they say. But what about homosexual partnerships? Are they made for each other? Homosexuality has been on top //of the flak-charts for a while, and now it seems like the battle lines are only getting stronger against gay and lesbian relationships. The U.S. president, during a recent radio address, has pressed support for a national ban...Heart Procedure numbers go haywire in an Ohio City
Drugs, bypass surgery and vessel-clearing procedures like angioplasty are the various treatments for people with blocked coronary arteries//. Elyria is a small industrial city in northeast Ohio. Doctors here , more than anywhere else in the country, would suggest their patients to go for Angioplasty-- a treatment that typically involves threading balloon catheters through arteries and...World's Oldest High-wire Artiste Hums Along at 98
Kassel (Germany): Konrad Thurano, 98, is not too good on his legs, even with the aid of a walking stick, but put him on a tightrope and he seems// years - no, decades - younger. Thurano believes he is the world's oldest high-wire artiste still performing, and no one has found an active centenarian acrobat to disprove this, so it's probably true.At a birthday party this week in the...Wire-Free – Handcuffing Good Healt
Going wire-free or Wi -Fi is fast becoming a more than a fad. The technology, which does away with the needs of wires or the need to be connected to a socket to access// Internet, has spread to half of all primary schools and four fifths of all secondary schools across the UK. Meanwhile, there has been the rising of dissenting voices. Teachers represented by the Teachers Union are aski...Snare Wire Replacements for E3525 3/package
