Acupuncturists Show Students How to Stay Awake by Stimulating Pressure Points
Simple techniques inspired by traditional Chinese medicine may help students stay awake during class. Researchers report that college students were more alert if they massaged or tapped areas on the ... > more -
Engineers Devise Light Bulb That Directs Light to Ease Reading
A new type of light bulb improves illumination conditions for reading. A chrome cap at its top directs light downwards, casting 40 percent more light on a printed page. The bulb is more expensive but ... > more -
Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
Building upon a recent discovery that the same Alzheimer's disease process that goes on in the brain also occurs in the eye, researchers have developed a pair of optical tests that can determine the ... > more -
Astrophysicists Discover New Details of How Stars Collapse
A satellite called Swift is revealing that black holes have a messier birth than previously thought. Instead of being created in one instant, astrophysicists now believe after a star dies and ... > more -
Surgeons Combine Heat, Chemistry to Bolster Anti-Cancer Drugs
In efforts to boost the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, a new method called intra-peritoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy works by flushing a heated chemotherapy drug through tissue surrounding a ... > more -
