They reported on progress in developing these “backpacking” bacteria so small that a million would fit on the head of a pin here today at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society

WEST HOLLYWWOOD, Calif., March16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –Today, the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics announced the 2012 recipients of the organization’s prestigious Pioneers in Medicine, Technology, and Healthcare Policy Awards. The Society will honor each recipient at the Brain Mapping Foundation’s Gala on June 1, 2012 as part of their 9th Annual World Congress in Toronto, Canada.
Flu Drug Could Aid Recovery Of Brain Can Help Victims Of Car Accidents (AP) Researchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuries caused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago. Severely injured patients in the U.S., Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received a dummy medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrushthings that few of them could do at the start
Printing three dimensional objects with incredibly fine details is now possible using two-photon lithography.
Summary: Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a method for fabricating intricately structured sculptures as tiny as a grain of sand in record speed. Using a technique known as two-photon lithography, Austrian researchers have developed a high-precision 3-D printer capable of producing nanometer-sized objects in the shape of race cars, cathedrals and bridges all in a matter of minutes. The high-precision 3-D printer at TU Vienna is purportedly orders of magnitude faster than similar devices and opens up new areas of applications, such as in medicine
By Eddie Wrenn PUBLISHED: 12:44 EST, 13 March 2012 | UPDATED: 13:41 EST, 13 March 2012 The attention to detail is exquisite – and the craftsmanship is even more impressive when you appreciate the scale of the endeavour. This little Formula 1 car is just 0.028cm across – or to put it another way, less than a fifth of a millimetre.
Summary: Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a method for fabricating intricately structured sculptures as tiny as a grain of sand in record speed. Using a technique known as two-photon lithography, Austrian researchers have developed a high-precision 3D printer capable of producing nanometer sized objects in the shape of race cars, cathedrals, and bridges in a matter of minutes. The high-precision-3D-printer at TU Vienna is purportedly orders of magnitude faster than similar devices, and opens up new areas of applications, such as in medicine.
The 3D printer uses a liquid resin, which is hardened at precisely the correct spots by a focused laser beam. The focal point of the laser beam is guided through the resin by movable mirrors and leaves behind a polymerized line of solid polymer, just a few hundred nanometers wide. This high resolution enables the creation of intricately structured sculptures as tiny as a grain of sand.

ScienceDaily (Mar. 9, 2012) Researchers at Oregon State University have tapped into the extraordinary power of carbon “nanotubes” to increase the speed of biological sensors, a technology that might one day allow a doctor to routinely perform lab tests in minutes, speeding diagnosis and treatment while reducing costs.

March 11, 2012 Researchers at Oregon State University have tapped into the extraordinary power of carbon nanotubes to increase the speed of biological sensors, a technology that might one day allow a doctor to routinely perform lab tests in minutes, speeding diagnosis and treatment while reducing costs. The new findings have almost tripled the speed of prototype nano-biosensors, and should find applications not only in medicine but in toxicology, environmental monitoring, new drug development and other fields.
