- Researchers mimic one of nature's key transport machines
- 6 Jan 2009 To help protect its genes, a cell is highly selective about what it allows to move in and out of its nucleus. Yet that choosiness is regulated by just a thin barrier, perforated with tiny transport machines called nuclear pore complexes: protein-coated holes surrounded by flimsy, unfolded protein strands. Now, by building an artificial mimic of this membrane barrier and its pores, scientists have discovered a key to its selectivity and, in the process, have found a practical tool for drug development.

- LANL shows off liquid detection system
- 18 Dec 2008 Help for the hassled airline traveler was on display Tuesday at the Sunport in Albuquerque. One of the most popular technological hits this year for Los Alamos National Laboratory was the prospect of a detector that could dissolve an annoying security bottleneck at airports around the world, having to do with the difficulty of screening potentially dangerous liquids. A team of researchers... saw the possibility for repurposing a new kind of magnetic resonance imaging system, based on a fraction of the magnetism used in a typical hospital diagnostic instrument.
