DUBLIN, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A young lady from New Zealand who discovered that chewing sugar-free gum made her seriously ill has bravely agreed to act as a guinea-pig in an experiment in California. Abby Cormack, 26, hopes that the potentially dangerous tests, to take place next month, will show that the ingestion of aspartame causes an aberration of blood capillary and neuron function.

- Four of Europe's Largest Investors Announce Support for Separation of Chairman and CEO Roles at ExxonMobil; UK's PIRC is Fourth Major Proxy Advisory Firm to Support Proxy Item 5.

In an unprecedented step, a significant group of Europe's largest institutional investors are announcing publicly today that they support Proxy Item 5 at the Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) calling for an independent chairman of the board at one of the world's largest companies. The shareowner vote to separate the Chief Executive and Board Chairman positions at ExxonMobil will take place at the company's annual meeting on May 28, 2008 in Dallas, Texas (U.S.).

Engineers and applied physicists from Harvard University have demonstrated the first room-temperature electrically-pumped semiconductor source of coherent Terahertz (THz) radiation, also known as T-rays. The breakthrough in laser technology, based upon commercially available nanotechnology, has the potential to become a standard Terahertz source to support applications ranging from security screening to chemical sensing.

Spearheaded by research associate Mikhail Belkin and Federico Capasso, Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering, both of Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), the findings will be published in the May 19 issue of Applied Physics Letters. The researchers have also filed for U.S. patents covering the novel device.

Using lasers in the Terahertz spectral range, which covers wavelengths from 30 to 300å, has long presented a major hurdle to engineers. In particular, making electrically pumped room-temperature and thermoelectrically-cooled Terahertz semiconductor lasers has been a major challenge. These devices require cryogenic cooling, greatly limiting their use in everyday applications.
