...develop the disease. For more than 15 years, scientists have searched for the chemical factors that protect these so-called long-term nonprogressors, and now a team of researchers including Dr. David Ho, director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, think they have found them. Using new protein-chip technology, they have identified three proteins--alpha-defensins 1, 2 and 3--that are present in nonprogressors but not in AIDS patients. The defensins, which are well known as natural bacteria fighters, could offer scientists a promising new focus for drug design. "This is not going to be the ultimate...
...stores open for at least 12 months shrank 2.7% from the year before. The company has suffered declining profits for six of the past seven quarters and just lowered its earnings expectations for 2002. Wall Street's indigestion over the news pushed McDonald's once dependable blue-chip stock down to a seven-year low, helping sink the Dow Jones average close to a four-year nadir...
...House drinks include the Chinese Whisper (Cointreau, Midori and lemonade) or a frozen vodka-cassis cocktail called the Shanghai Blues. The real action, though, is in the cushioned front salon, where the jeunesse dorée of the 21st century gather each night to discuss red lipstick and red-chip companies - even the prettiest, poutiest Shanghai vixen dabbles in the market. If nothing else, a conversation might elicit a decent stock tip. Hints and hustle are what the new Shanghai is all about - just like the Shanghai of yesteryear...

...year, Nantero expects to produce a commercial prototype for a chip with "nonvolatile random-access memory" (NRAM), which means its chips won't forget how to run all its programs when the power is switched off. The technology uses arrays of 2-nm strands of carbon atoms, called carbon nanotubes, that convey electrons faster than copper and are 100 times as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight. Pairs of tubes store data by locking together when a current runs through them and stay together even when the computer power is switched off and back on. The tubes...
