| Could additives in hot dogs affect incidence of colon cancer? Posted: 24 Oct 2011 02:26 PM PDT The addition of ascorbate (vitamin C) or its close relative, erythorbate, and the reduced amount of nitrite added in hot dogs, mandated in 1978, have been accompanied by a steep drop in the death rate from colon cancer, according to new research.  |
| Coffee consumption associated with decreased risk for basal cell carcinoma Posted: 24 Oct 2011 02:26 PM PDT Caffeine could be related to an inverse association between basal cell carcinoma risk and consumption of coffee, a study found.  |
| Morning UV exposure may be less damaging to the skin Posted: 24 Oct 2011 12:33 PM PDT New research suggests that the timing of exposure to UV rays -- early in the morning or later in the afternoon -- can influence the onset of skin cancer.  |
| Researchers build transparent, super-stretchy skin-like sensor Posted: 24 Oct 2011 07:17 AM PDT Using carbon nanotubes bent to act as springs, researchers have developed a stretchable, transparent skin-like sensor. The sensor can be stretched to more than twice its original length and bounce back perfectly to its original shape. It can sense pressure from a firm pinch to thousands of pounds. The sensor could have applications in prosthetic limbs, robotics and touch-sensitive computer displays.  |
| New device measures viscosity of ketchup and cosmetics Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:46 AM PDT A device that can measure and predict how liquids flow under different conditions will ensure consumer products -- from makeup to ketchup -- are of the right consistency.  |
| French digitial kitchen is a recipe for success Posted: 24 Oct 2011 05:42 AM PDT An innovative kitchen that gives step-by-step cooking instructions in French could spark a revolution in language learning in the UK.  |
| Video games used in new treatment that may fix 'lazy eye' in older children Posted: 23 Oct 2011 10:56 AM PDT A new study conducted in an eye clinic in India found that correction of amblyopia, also called "lazy eye," can be achieved in many older children, if they stick to a regimen that includes playing video games and standard amblyopia treatment.  |
