Divide to Conquer: Infection-Specific T Cells Multiply to Fight Infection
Scientific American Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:33 PM PDT
When the body contracts a new virus or bacteria, specific white blood cells --T lymphocytes--are recruited to fight back. Each T cell is only programmed, however, to recognize a specific viral or bacterial strain, so out of every 100,000 T cells, only one might match a novel pathogen. Therefore, once the matches are found, those few cells need to multiply in a hurry to stave off illness. [More] |

Atoms don't dance the 'Bose Nova'
PhysOrg Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:06 AM PDT
(PhysOrg.com) -- Hanns-Christoph Naegerl's research group at the Institute for Experimental Physics, Austria, has investigated how ultracold quantum gases behave in lower spatial dimensions. They successfully realized an exotic state, where, due to the laws of quantum mechanics, atoms align along a one-dimensional structure. A stable many-body phase with new quantum mechanical states is thereby ... |
