| Reflexology: Ancient foot massage technique may ease cancer symptoms Posted: 13 Nov 2012 02:49 PM PST A new study offers the strongest evidence yet that reflexology -- a type of specialized foot massage practiced since the age of pharaohs -- can help cancer patients manage their symptoms and perform daily tasks. |
| Injectable sponge delivers drugs, cells, and structure Posted: 13 Nov 2012 10:43 AM PST Bioengineers have developed a gel-based sponge that can be molded to any shape, loaded with drugs or stem cells, compressed to a fraction of its size, and delivered via injection. Once inside the body, it pops back to its original shape and gradually releases its cargo, before safely degrading. |
| Choreographing light: Scientists control light patterns called 'caustics' and make coherent images Posted: 13 Nov 2012 05:36 AM PST Researchers have found a way to control "caustics", the patterns that appear when light hits a water surface or any transparent material. Thanks to an elaborate algorithm, they can shape a transparent object so that it reflects an organized and coherent image. |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2012 05:35 AM PST A battle about the ideal height would appear to be raging in men's and women's genes. A researcher in Sweden has shown that this conflict is leading to a difference in reproductive success between men and women of varying height. |
| Robots enable scar-free hysterectomies for some women Posted: 12 Nov 2012 10:56 AM PST The precision and three-dimensional view provided by robots can enable essentially scar-free surgery for some women needing hysterectomies, physicians report. |
