| Gold Hybrid Nanoparticles Identify, Target, Kill Cancer Cells |
| Researchers have invented another weapon in the arsenal against cancer: nanoparticles that identify, target and kill specific cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. The researchers synthesized nanoparticles — shaped something like a dumbbell — made of gold sandwiched between two pieces of iron oxide ...continue |

| NASA Mars Orbiter Speeds Past Data Milestone |
| NASA's newest Mars orbiter, completing its fourth year at the Red Planet next week, has just passed a data-volume milestone unimaginable a generation ago and still difficult to fathom: 100 terabits. That 100 trillion bits of information is more data than in 35 hours of uncompressed high-definition video. It's also more than three times the amount of data from all other deep-space missions combined ...continue |

Pen-based computing in the laboratory
Bill Weaver, Ph.D
This past summer of 2008, we searched for a PDA replacement for use by our new batch of sophomores. The university had no plans to distribute and support iPhones (much to the dismay of the students). However, after some sleuthing, we discovered the logical successor to the PDA — a digital “smartpen” ...continue |
