Blood test can monitor cancer
spread
Nature News July 2, 2008
*************************
Massachusetts General Hospital
researchers have build a device that
can detect and capture minute
numbers of tumor cells circulating
in the blood of lung cancer patients
and find genetic characteristics of
the cells that could determine the
best treatment options. The research
may one day make monitoring the
disease as simple as taking a blood...

New Nanowire-Based Memory Could
Beef Up Information Storage
PhysOrg.com July 2, 2008
*************************
University of Pennsylvania
researchers have created a type of
nanowire-based information storage
device that is capable of storing
three bit values rather than the
usual two. This ability could lead
to a new generation of high-capacity
information storage for electronic
devices. The phase changes are
achieved by subjecting the nanowires
to...

First DNA molecule made almost
entirely of artificial parts
Nanowerk News July 2, 2008
*************************
University of Toyama researchers
have built the first DNA molecule
made almost entirely of artificial
parts. The researchers used DNA
synthesis equipment to assemble four
artificial bases (basic building
blocks of DNA) inside the framework
of a DNA molecule. The unusually
stable, double-stranded structures
resemble natural DNA, which also has...

Supercomputer improves diagnosis of
osteoporosis
KurzweilAI.net July 3, 2008
*************************
Researchers at IBM Zurich Research
Laboratory and ETH Zurich are using
a Blue Gene supercomputer to
simulate human bone structure and
predict where bones are likely to
fracture. The research could help
bring clinical tools to improve the
diagnosis and treatment of
osteoporosis, a widespread disease
that worldwide affects one in three
women and...

"Fantastic Voyage.... takes pains
to say: 'this is not a panacea, it's
just a beginning. You must make your
own path, keep up with research and
be a scientist.' This is a
refreshingly no-nonsense attitude,
and it's one of the main reasons
that I have a high degree of trust
and respect for the work that Ray
Kurzweil and Terry Grossman have
made available to us. -Mike T." To
