Forefront of Science

 

Life Sciences
 
New Weizmann Institute of Science research provides hope for cancer patients

Space and Physics
 
Heating up: One ion and thousands of atoms, all at a millionth of a degree above absolute zero
 
 
Fluorescence image of a single trapped Sr+ ion immersed in a cloud of 100,000 trapped Rb atoms. The ion is trapped by radio-frequency fields. The atoms are trapped by a focused laser-beam. Both species are cooled to a temperature of a millionth of a degree Kelvin above absolute zero temperature

 

Chemistry
 
Lines of highly compacted DNA might be used as nanocables
 
 
Maze-like patterns are created when the DNA condenses like a row of dominoes in the lab of Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv
