Flu Fighter
Biochemists have developed a
new tool that can identify a
strain of influenza in
hours, instead of the usual
days or weeks, potentially
speeding up the development
of new vaccines. A sample of
the infected patient's nasal

Gene Chip for Personalized Meds
The first in a new
generation of gene
microarrays, computer chips
that chemically or
electrically express DNA,
can predict how a person's
body will metabolize about

Gadgets Getting Smaller
With their high capability
and no moving parts, flash
drives safely store data in
camera memory sticks and in
some MP3 players, and they
also hide in gadgets such as
cell phones. Experts say

Cheaper Drugs
A new kind of microchip can
host human cells to mimic
the reaction of different
tissues in the body. The
chip could help reduce the
need for animal testing, and
lower the cost of developing
new pharmaceuticals. Medical
