A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a method of assembling “building blocks” of gold nanoparticles as the vehicle to deliver cancer medications or cancer-identifying markers directly into cancerous tumors.

Breakthrough Allows Einstein Scientists to Probe How Memories Form in Nerve Cells.

Research to focus on metastatic breast cancer.

How can we make R&D more efficient? One way is to keep lab mice “happy.”

Fine-grained research shows boost for leading-edge and low-profile work in the life sciences happens after authors are honored.

A Clinical Update on the Search for a Universal Flu Vaccine: Presentation in Washington, DC on January 30, 2014 in Conjunction with the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Biodefense Conference.

New experiment supports long-predicted “Luttinger liquid” mode.

When capturing images at the atomic scale, even tiny movements of the sample can result in skewed or distorted images – and those movements are virtually impossible to prevent. Now microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that accounts for that movement and eliminates the distortion from the finished product.

An array of tiny diving boards can perform the Olympian feat of identifying many strains of salmonella at once.

Early Step toward Treatment for Diseases that Affect Blood Flow.

New research from the Monell Center reveals humans can use the sense of smell to detect dietary fat in food. As food smell almost always is detected before taste, the findings identify one of the first sensory qualities that signals whether a food contains fat. Innovative methods using odor to make low-fat foods more palatable could someday aid public health efforts to reduce dietary fat intake.

The Clemson University technology that could power industrial tools, run consumer electronics and help reduce carbon emissions starts with building blocks that are about 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
