2011-05-11
WASHINGTON—May 11, 2011—Most Maryland residents trust the health and medical research information provided by traditional media—newspapers (77%), television (71%), magazines (68%), radio (66%)—and the Internet (also 66%), according to a new state poll commissioned by Research!America. Social media fared less well, with 51% saying social media is not trustworthy for health and medical research issues.

Silver cycle: New evidence for natural synthesis of silver nanoparticles
2011-05-11
Nanoparticles of silver are being found increasingly in the environment—and in environmental science laboratories. Because they have a variety of useful properties, especially as antibacterial and antifungal agents, silver nanoparticles increasingly are being used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. This, in turn, has raised concerns about what happens to them once released into the environment. Now a new research paper* adds an additional wrinkle: Nature may be making silver nanoparticles on its own.
A team of researchers from the Florida Institute ...

The drive tests, limited to a short excursion of five meters across the grass at the NIST Boulder, Colo., campus, are described in Optics ...

Vital Help for Snakebite Victims
2011-05-10
With over 600 known species of venomous snakes worldwide, snakebite-related deaths continue to be an issue today. The risk of dying from a snakebite is greatest in rural areas of Africa and Asia, where the availability of antivenom and other appropriate treatments is lowest and the cost and complexity of antivenom manufacture are major obstacles to improving outcomes for snakebite victims. These high costs have meant that some regions, particularly in West Africa, have no access to potentially life-saving antivenoms.
The Alistair Reid Venom Research Unit (ARVRU) is ...
