Witness the perversion of educational science and technology as the Museum of Science presents "Laser Beastie Boys." Colored lasers dance to the sounds of the celebrated punk-rap artists; budget an hour and $7.50 for the show. Starts...
...Beastie Boys weren't your bag, head back to the Science Museum to try Laser Smashing Pumpkins at 8 p.m. or Laser Nine Inch Nails...
...traversed the minefields and laser trip beams, and four armored checkpoints later we had arrived at the global corporate headquaters of the Kyrgyzstan Drug Cartel (KDC), a global pharmaceutical company...
...down the road. Using biochips--thumbnail-size pieces of material imprinted with hundreds of different DNA probes--scientists should be able to identify genetic errors almost as quickly as a supermarket scanner prices a load of groceries. In some systems, the probes use different fluorescent dyes that glow under laser light when they hook up with target genes, allowing sensors to tabulate the results automatically. Genetic researchers are already talking about using "FISH [for fluorescent in-situ hybridization] and chips," as they whimsically call these new tools, to look for any number of genetic characteristics, including the more elusive...
Blood simple! The FDA last week okayed Lasette, a portable laser device that enables diabetics to draw blood easily, with little or no pain. Many patients test their blood-glucose levels every day--in some cases 10 times--by pricking their skin with a razor-sharp steel lancet. By contrast Lasette sends a beam of light that vaporizes skin and creates a tiny hole so quickly--30 millionths of a second--it's barely felt. Cost...
