These cells, known as circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, can provide critical information for examining and diagnosing cancer metastasis, determining patient prognosis, and monitoring the effectiveness...
Life Sciences |In industrial environments, especially in power stations and the oil and gas area, leaks in pipe systems, valves and at critical transfer points have to be identified as quickly as possible. This is e...
Information Technology |During the summer of 1997-1998, measurements of beam absorption and beam attenuation coefficients, and downwelling and upwelling irradiance were made in the Southern Ocean along a S-N transect at 6 de...
Earth Sciences |The project, funded by the U.S. Air Force Multi University Research Initiative (MURI), seeks to test the performance of the new nanocomposites in orbit. Space Shuttle Atlantis will carry the samples t...
Materials Sciences |In the quest to make hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel source, researchers have been stymied about how to create usable hydrogen that is clean and sustainable without relying on an intensive, high-...

Materials Sciences |Their findings were published online in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. The article was selected for inclusion in the Institute of Physics’ IOP Select, which is a special collection of artic...
Physics and Astronomy |By orienting the compound in a different way, the researchers have turned it into a thin film insulator, which instead blocks the flow of electricity, but can induce large electric currents elsewhere....
Power and Electrical Engineering |The catalytic processes that facilitate the production of many chemicals and fuels could become much more environmentally friendly thanks to a breakthrough achieved by researchers from Lehigh and Rice...
Life Sciences |Content of the invention is the non-invasive, reference-free determination of ultrasonic propagation speed in solid bodies, liquids and mixes with point reflectors. The sonic speed profile is determin...
Technology Offerings |Content of the invention is the simultaneous determination of layer thickness and sonic speed in liquid and solid media, without the knowledge of their sonic typical characteristics. The method charac...
Technology Offerings |The new sensors of the compact series in M30 design have a reduced blind zone and are shorter than models of the previous generation. These improvements make for better detection of objects at close r...
Machine Engineering |The work is time-consuming and monotonous but requires highest levels of concentration, because any blemish in the mold can render it useless. A skilled worker may often need a whole week to polish a ...
Process Engineering |C-reactive protein (CRP), a molecule produced by the liver in response to inflammation, normally accounts for less than 1/60,000 of a person’s total serum protein, or about 1 milligram per liter (mg/L...
Life Sciences |Harvard materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass.Glasses form throug...
