| Sound waves levitate cells to detect stiffness changes that could signal disease Posted: 04 Nov 2015 12:10 PM PST Physicists are literally applying rocket science to the field of medical diagnostics. With a few key changes, the researchers used a noninvasive ultrasonic technique originally developed to detect microscopic flaws in solid fuel rockets to successfully detect cell stiffness changes associated with certain cancers and other diseases. The method uses sound waves to manipulate and probe cells. |
| Antimatter not so different after all Posted: 04 Nov 2015 10:32 AM PST Researchers share the first measurements of the attractive force between antiprotons. The discovery gives physicists new ways to look at the forces that bind matter and antimatter. |
| Can scientists agree on a definition of curiosity? Posted: 04 Nov 2015 10:32 AM PST Philosopher Thomas Hobbes called it 'the lust of the mind.' Former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt said it was 'the most useful gift.' And, yes, we all know what killed the cat. But ask a group of scientists to define curiosity and you'll get a rousing debate. No more, argue researchers in a review of curiosity science. They propose it's time for researchers to organize and focus on curiosity's function, evolution, mechanism, and development. |
