Glass Remains Solid Proved Using Amber
Posted in Materials, Medical, News, MDB on Thursday, May 23 2013
Does glass move over time? That’s the question tackled by a team of researchers at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, who say that glass remains in solid form, unless shattered, of course. The idea for this research came from a doctoral student's qualifying exam, said Gregory McKenna, a professor of chemical engineering. He gave Jing Zhao a problem relating to diverging time-scales using polyvinyl acetate, a substance often found in adhesives. Her results were consistent with a lack of divergence, which is contrary to popular thought.

Researchers Helping to Validate Spintronics
Posted in Electronics, Medical, News, MDB on Wednesday, May 22 2013
Scientists at the University of Delaware, Newark, say that they have confirmed the presence of a magnetic field generated by electrons, which scientists had theorized existed, but had never been proven until now. This finding, they say, could help to lay the groundwork for electronics of the future. Their finding expands the potential for harnessing the "spin" or magnetic properties of electrons, which adds a fundamental new building block to the pioneering field of spintronics.

Great Future Foreseen for Wireless Body Sensors
Posted in Sensors, Medical, Patient Monitoring, Diagnostics, News, MDB on Tuesday, May 21 2013
According to a recent report from ABI Research, a market intelligence company specializing in global technology markets, while the market for disposable wireless Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) sensors within professional healthcare is in its earliest stages, the foundations to support adoption are now in place. They also report that there is a tremendous potential for adoption. So much so that by 2018, they predict that nearly 5 million disposable sensors will be shipped even though the sensors will have still barely penetrated the addressable market.

Making the Most of Outsourcing
Posted in Medical, Diagnostics, News, MDB on Tuesday, May 21 2013
When it comes to outsourcing many complex professional services, this type of work should not be viewed as a mere commodity, say researchers at Harvard Business School, reporting in the journal, Organization Science. Instead, they say, cultivating important person-to-person relationships with the vendor of outsourced services can improve efficiency and even the quality of services delivered, especially in health care, where outsourcing is on the rise.
