Arzu Aysin Tekindor has never seen "Antiques Roadshow," the PBS television program that routinely subjects artworks and other collectibles to the burning question: What is it worth?
Astronaut and astrophysicist John Grunsfeld leads NASA investigations of Earth and beyond, and Jon Gertner writes of how Bell Labs became a hotspot for innovation.

Tiny injectable particles containing protein 'factories' can be remotely activated by ultraviolet light. The technique could ultimately be used for drug delivery.Daniel Anderson and his group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge created lipid spheres more than 100 nanometres in diameter that
G. Fubiani, G. J. M. Hagelaar, J. P. Boeuf, and S. Kolev A simple two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian, three-velocities (3 V), particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collisions (PIC MCC) model of a tandem type inductively coupled plasma (ICP) discharge is presented. The conditions are similar to those of negative ion sources for fusion applications, i.e., a high absorbe ... [Phys.
K. H. Burrell, A. M Garofalo, W. M. Solomon, M. E. Fenstermacher, T. H. Osborne et al. Results from recent experiments demonstrate that quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) sustained by magnetic torque from non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is a promising operating mode for future burning plasmas. Using magnetic torque from n=3 fields to replace counter-I torque from neutral beam injection (NBI) ...
Scientists are studying how to rapidly evaluate the tougher advanced materials needed to build the next generation of nuclear reactors and extend the lives of current reactors.
Escherichia coli – a bacteria considered the food safety bane of restaurateurs, grocers and consumers – is a friend. Biomolecular engineers have learned to use E. coli to produce sugar-modified proteins for making pharmaceuticals cheaper and faster.
