- No Scalpel, No Scars, No Silicon: Natural Breast Augmentation With Body-Own Stem Cells

It is still widely believed that the use of silicon is state-of-the-art in breast enlargement. That is not so. Thanks to recent research on stem cells, women today need not rely on plastic pads if they opt for larger breasts. Today small breasts can be augmented by use of stem cell concentrated own-fat. At his "Clinic DDr. Heinrich", Vienna-based DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, an expert in aesthetic medicine and anti-aging, is the first to offer this method in Europe. "Breast Augmentation with stem cells for many women means lasting enlargement of the breasts without implants or scars," says DDr. Heinrich.

- 74% of respondents watch TV on their handset for thirty minutes or longer

- 54% watch TV on their handset five times a week

- 88% find picture quality acceptable

Telegent Systems, the company that makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, today revealed key findings of the industry's first post-sale mobile TV survey. The survey shows that mobile TV can have a significant impact on handset sales, with 85% of respondents stating that the primary influence driving their handset purchase decision was the built-in free-to-air TV feature, as opposed to screen size, camera, music capability, or fashion.

Believe it or not, scientists do not always take themselves too seriously. We can laugh at ourselves and the sometimes rigid conventions of our profession. Take, for example, this guide to translating the formal language of scientific articles into plain English. (Note: This has circulated on email among scientists a number of times over at least a 10 year period; I remember taping it on the door when I was a grad student.  An astute reader pointed out that it is originally from Graham, CD. 1957. A glossary for research reports.  Metal Progress 71: 75, though it has mutated somewhat in the interim).

Because dogs didn't exist back then, more relevant analogies had to be used in that title. Why? Because analyses of Chengjiang and Burgess Shale food-web data suggest that most, but not all, aspects of the trophic structure of modern ecosystems were in place over a half-billion years ago.

The ecology of Cambrian communities was remarkably modern, say researchers behind the first study to reconstruct detailed food webs for ancient ecosystems. Their paper suggests that networks of feeding relationships among marine species that lived hundreds of millions of years ago are remarkably similar to those of today.

Food webs depict the feeding interactions among species within habitats--like food chains, only more complex and realistic. The discovery of strong and enduring regularities in how such webs are organized will help us understand the history and evolution of life, and could provide insights for modern ecology--such as how ecosystems will respond to biological extinctions and invasions.

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck of dust.

In the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, researchers are using DNA to make intricate nano-sized objects. Working at this scale holds great potential for advancing medical and electronic applications. DNA, often thought of as the molecule of life, is an ideal building block for nanotechnology because they self-assemble, snapping together into shapes based on natural chemical rules of attraction. This is a major advantage for Biodesign researchers like Hao Yan, who rely on the unique chemical and physical properties of DNA to make their complex nanostructures.

A breakthrough barrier technology from Singapore A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) protects sensitive devices like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells from moisture 1000 times more effectively than any other technology available in the market, opening up new opportunities for the up-and-coming plastic electronics sector.

A team of scientists from Singapore’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) has developed a new patented film that has the highest reported water vapour barrier performance to date, as tested by the UK Centre for Process Innovation.

The tests have shown that the new film is 1,000 times more impervious to moisture than existing technologies. This means a longer lifetime for plastic electronic devices such as solar cells and flexible displays that use these high-end films but whose sensitive organic materials are easily degraded by water vapour and oxygen.
