Cancer Breakthrough: Ipilimumab a Monoclonal antibody drug and hormone therapy converts Inoperable Prostate Cancer Tumors into Operable

Two patients with inoperable prostate cancer have made dramatic recoveries after receiving one dose of an experimental drug that is creating excitement among cancer specialists. The results were so startling that researchers decided to release details of the two cases before the drug trial – in which the patients took part – was complete. Doctors …

Walmart prices for Nuclear reactor modules

There is a discussion of the cost advantages of large versus small reactors at thoriumenergy and Left-atomics. Mainly they are focusing on the traditional discussion of whether the economies of scale of large reactors can be matched by the economies of scale of many duplicate smaller modules. The smaller modules can one control center to …

Milking Diatoms for Sustainable Energy: Biochemical Engineering versus Gasoline-Secreting Diatom Solar Panels

Canadian researchers propose ways of harvesting oil from diatoms, using biochemical engineering and also a new solar panel approach that utilizes genomically modifiable aspects of diatom biology, offering the prospect of “milking” diatoms for sustainable energy by altering them to actively secrete oil products. Secretion by and milking of diatoms may provide a way around …

Nonstick and Laser-safe Gold Ten Times Better for Trapping of Biomolecules

The gold posts in this colorized micrograph, averaging 450 nanometers in diameter, are used to anchor individual biomolecules such as DNA for studies of their mechanical properties. The background surface is glass coated with a protein to prevent unwanted sticking. Credit: D.H. Paik/JILA Successful use of gold in optical-trapping experiments, reported in Nano Letters, could …

Designer Magnetic Superatoms Could Be Ideal for Molecular Electronics

A team of Virginia Commonwealth University scientists has discovered a ‘magnetic superatom’ – a stable cluster of atoms that can mimic different elements of the periodic table – that one day may be used to create molecular electronic devices for the next generation of faster computers with larger memory storage. New magnetic superatoms’ assemblies could …

Active Exterior Cloaking: Creating an area of still waves

A new method of cloaking is presented by Fernando Guevara Vasquez, Graeme W. Milton, and Daniel Onofrei, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah. For two-dimensional quasistatics it is proven how a single active exterior cloaking device can be used to shield an object from surrounding fields, yet produce very small scattered fields. The problem is …

Cancer Breakthroughs : Unraveling Genetic Sequences for Cancer Cures, Ultrasound/Magnets for Zapping Tumors, 2-in-1 Breast Cancer Treatment and More

1. Colorectal cancer is especially difficult to diagnose in its early stages – usually, people are in advanced stages when the cancer is discovered, and the diagnostic process itself requires the removal of entire polyps as well as a laboratory assessment that may take weeks. Vernick’s [ doctoral student of the Department of Physical Electronics …
