- How many atoms to build a computer?
- Because transistors will inevitably stop to shrink in size in the future, European researchers are studying atomic-scale computing. According to ICT Results, this would allow computer processes to be carried out in a single molecule. 'In theory, atomic-scale computing could put computers more powerful than today's supercomputers in everyone's pocket.'...

- Using lasers to watch electrons in action
- Canadian and U.S. scientists have used ultrafast lasers to take snapshots of electrons in action. The tools they've used work at a femtosecond time-scale -- a femtosecond lasts 10-15 seconds. But they want to observe the electron recollision process which occurs in the attosecond time-scale -- an attosecond is just...

- Sensors to detect oral cancer in saliva
- According to the American Cancer Society ACS, there will be about 35,000 new cases of oral cancer in the U.S. this year. The ACS also estimates that 'when oral cancer is identified in its early stages, patient survival rate is almost 90 percent, compared with 50 percent when the disease...

- Miniaturized DNA sewing machines
- Japanese researchers have found a way to build long threads of DNA using miniaturized hooks and bobbins. In fact, they've demonstrated how to manipulate delicate DNA chains without breaking them. They've designed these laser-directed microdevices to pick up and manipulate individual molecules of DNA. The scientists have used optical tweezers...

- Snowflakes or 3-D snowfakes?
- Snowflakes have been puzzling mathematicians for about four centuries. Still, scientists have never been able to fully explain snowflake shapes. For example, is this true that their six-pointed structure reflect an underlying crystal structure? Now, two U.S. mathematicians have developed software that simulates 3-D snowflakes. And they discovered that even...

- Conversations between bacteria
- Did you know that bacteria 'talked' with each other by using small molecules to coordinate their behavior and decide when it's a good time to infect you? A recent American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac briefly describes how UK researchers are working toward a Rosetta stone for microbes' secret language (scroll...
