Cardiologists Use Medical Physics to Pinpoint Cause of Chest Pains
Unless a patient with chest pain is checked out right away, it can be difficult to diagnose a heart condition, as opposed to less life-threatening causes such as heartburn. A new stress test can spot ... > more -
Pathologists Use Digital Imaging to Speed Up Cancer Diagnosis
A new digital microscopy system allows doctors to examine biopsy tissue and diagnose breast cancer within hours instead of weeks. The same instrument can be used for all kinds of cancers, and it ... > more -
Physicists Usher In Energy-Saving LED Lighting
Thanks to advances in physics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will soon move from traffic lights and electronics panels to home lighting, bringing dramatic energy savings, adjustable colors for ... > more -
FDA Approves Surgical Procedure to Alleviate Shoulder Pain
Patients who suffer from debilitating shoulder pain due to arthritis or to a torn rotator cuff may benefit from new kind of prosthesis. The procedure, which has been performed successfully in use in ... > more -
Materials Scientists Create Polymer Coating Against Fogged Glass
When moisture condenses on a cool surface, droplets can form that are the right size to scatter light, fogging up glass. A new polymer coating draws droplets into nanopores and transforms them into a ... > more -
Food Chemist Develops Protein-Based Batter for Healthier Frying
Deep-fried fish could get healthier with a new protein-based batter extracted from the muscle of discarded fish parts. When coated onto the fish it forms a barrier, locking in taste and moisture ... > more -
Mechanical Engineer Studies Nanoscale Effects of Hair Conditioners
Hair conditioners can help protect your hair by replacing natural oils that are lost while shampooing. But now, an atomic-force microscope reveals that some conditioners do not protect the hair ... > more -
Pulmonologists Treat Breath Shortness with Harmonica Classes
Chronic lung diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema can make breathing difficult. Researchers have shown that playing the harmonica on a regular basis can help. The repeated pattern of pushing air ... > more -
Civil Engineers Test New Concrete for Stronger, More Durable Bridges
A new kind of concrete called Ductal will allow bridges to hold more weight and last longer. Made of a mixture of sand, cement, water, and small steel fibers, it is 10 times more expensive than ... > more -
New Tecnhique Reduces Flammable Exhaust Risks to Firefighters
Firefighters usually don't aim hydrants at smoke, to avoid producing steam that can come back and burn them. But smoke sometimes contains dangerous, flammable gases. Some U.S. fire departments are ... > more
