...common types of techniques now used to detect genetic mutations are sequencing, which is labor-intensive and slow, and methods using gels, which can only detect the presence of a genetic mutation and not its location...
...more remarkable developments in sensor technology is the Automotive Stability Management System under development by ITT and already proved on frozen test tracks in Sweden and on the upper peninsula of Michigan.

"With this system," says ITT's Tom Mathues, "you can floor the throttle and still get around a cone obstacle...
...recent Smithsonian Institution Research Reports, Walsworth explained how difficult it was to detect the dipole, saying that if one were to blow up an the size of the Earth, the xenon dipole wouldamount to less than the width of a human hair...
Xenon, an inert gas already used in hospitalsas an anesthetic, can be pre-magnetized with alaser using Walsworth's method and inhaled by thepatient. The xenon then diffuses throughout thebody almost instantly, allowing a properly tunedMRI to detect the image...
