| am vazut multe(2007-02-27) -- The potential of gold nanoparticles to detect and treat cancer has been hindered by the difficulty of making them in a stable, nontoxic form that can be injected into a patient. New research at the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that a plant extract can be used to overcome this problem, creating a new type of gold nanoparticle that is stable and nonto |

| am vazut multe(2009-08-06) -- Nanoparticles are being developed to perform a wide range of medical uses -- imaging tumors, carrying drugs, delivering pulses of heat. Rather than settling for just one of these, researchers have combined two nanoparticles in one tiny package. The result is the first structure that creates a multipurpose nanotechnology tool for medical imaging and therapy. |

The research shows that a 0.5 C increase in sea surface temperature can be associated with a ~40 per cent increase in hurricane activity. |

| Growing evidence indicates that sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in children and teens may be contributing to rising obesity rates in the United States. A 2006 Pediatrics study published by the same authors indicates that there is an energy gap contributing to the obesity epidemic. This energy gap--or the imbalance between the calories children take in each day and the calories they expend to support nor |
