Nanoparticle Delivers a Combination of Therapeutic Agents to Tumor Sites

Posted: 16 Jul 2012 08:10 AM PDT

Developed by a team of scientists at Yale, a new biodegradable nanoparticle, called a nanogel, delivers a combination of two therapeutic agents to tumor sites, significantly delaying tumor growth and increasing the survival rate of mice during testing. Yale University scientists have developed a new mechanism for attacking cancerous tumors that intensifies the body's immune [...]


DARPA Uses Cold Plasma to Suppress and Extinguish Fire

Posted: 15 Jul 2012 11:15 PM PDT

Working on innovative approaches to firefighting, DARPA has been exploring technologies to manipulate and extinguish flames using physics. They were able to suppress fire using electromagnetic and acoustic waves that interact with the plasma of the flames, instead of the traditional approach of interfering with chemical reactions used in combustion. Fire in enclosed military environments [...]
