"Blaming the media" is a catchphrase that is used in almost cliché-level proportions.

A team of researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, has succeeded in producing hyperfine 3-D circuits using carbon nanotubes, it was learned Sunday. The team led by Kenji Hata released their findings in the on-line version of the May 4 issue of Nature Nanotechnology. The discovery is expected to help reduce the size of integrated circuits and allow the development of highly sophisticated sensors, the researchers said. The researchers synthesized nanotubes by blowing carbon gas that had been heated to about 800 C over a silicon board. They then processed the resulting nanotubes applying a technique normally used to make semiconductors. The process enabled the researchers to produce ultrafine wires as thin as 0.00
Every year, whether you are fat or thin, whether you lose weight or gain, 10 percent of your fat cells die. And every year, those cells that die are replaced with new fat cells, researchers in Sweden reported Sunday.The result is that the total number of fat cells in the body remains the same, year after year throughout adulthood. Losing or gaining weight affects only the amount of fat stored in the cells, not the number of cells.The finding was published online Sunday in the journal Nature.Obesity investigators say the study raises tantalizing questions: What determines how many fat cells are in a person’s body? When is that number determined? Is there a way to intervene so people end up with fewer fat cells when they reach adulthood? And could obesity be treated by making fat cells die

The system is able to track detailed, three-demensional movement of the child's hand, covering 24 separate areas of the mouth. Kids who tested the system were found to brush twice as well as those who hadn't used it, but were also
