- First 3D structural model of cancer-prevention molecule January 27, 2012Cancer Research UK scientists have mapped the first 3D structure of c-Cbl, a key protein that protects against the development of cancer. The team at Cancer Research UK’s Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, in Glasgow used X-ray analysis to map the structure of a protein called c-Cbl and showed that it changes shape when it is switched [...]
- Biologists discover rotational motion of breast cells, required to avoid malignancy January 27, 2012In a study that holds major implications for breast cancer research and basic cell biology, scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a rotational motion that plays a critical role in the ability of breast cells to form the spherical structures in the mammary gland known [...]

- ‘Super Wi-Fi’ blankets first county in US January 27, 2012New Hanover County, North Carolina, recently rolled out “Super Wi-Fi,” operating in the “white spaces” between 50–700Mhz, where previously only television stations were allowed to transmit, reports Technology Review Mim’s Bits blog. This could mean high-speed wireless connections for the county’s residents, and also […]
- Scientists create femtosecond atomic X-ray laser January 27, 2012Lawrence Livermore Lab (LLNL) scientists and international collaborators have created the shortest, purest X-ray laser pulses ever achieved, fulfilling a 45-year-old prediction and ultimately opening the door to new medicines, devices and materials. The researchers aimed radiation from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), located at the Stanford Linear Ac […]
- Rice lab mimics Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids inside a single atom January 26, 2012Rice University physicists have gone to extremes to prove that Isaac Newton’s classical laws of motion can apply in the atomic world: They’ve built an accurate model of part of the solar system inside a single atom of potassium. They showed they could cause an electron in an atom to orbit the nucleus in precisely [...]
- How neutrons might escape into another universe January 26, 2012Our universe may exist in parallel with other universes in other sets of dimensions, or braneworlds, so things from our Universe might somehow end up in another, some cosmologists suggest, says Technology Review Physics arXiv Blog. Michael Sarrazin at the University of Namur in Belgium and a few others showed how matter might make the [...]
- Hayden Planetarium morphing into a giant videogame January 26, 2012The Hayden Planetarium, under Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s direction, is becoming Space Cruiser, a giant virtual spacecraft videogame on a 4500×4500 pixel screen, Mother Board blog reports. Together, players will collaborate to navigate a virtual ship through asteroid belts and other dangers — kind of like a massively-multiplayer version of Carl Sagan’s […]
- Commercial version of MIT Media Lab CityCar unveiled January 26, 2012A full-scale version of the stackable, electric CityCar, created by researchers at the MIT Media Lab and commercialized by a consortium of automotive suppliers in the Basque region of Spain, was unveiled at the European Union Commission headquarters on January 24. Branded “Hiriko,” the two-passenger EV vehicle incorporates all of the essential co […]
- With prevalence of nanomaterials rising, panel urges review of risks January 26, 2012Nanomaterials have moved into the marketplace over the last decade, in products as varied as cosmetics, clothing and paint. But not enough is known about their potential health and environmental risks, which should be studied further, an expert panel of the National Academy of Sciences said on Wednesday. And because the nanotechnology market is expanding [.. […]
