1. Super Accurate Radiation Robots Kill Cancer Cells and Leave Healthy Ones Untouched- A new generation of radiation robots is lowering the rate of dead healthy cells by more accurately targeting cancer. (Source:  http://www.physorg.com/news194014523.html)


2. Researchers Manipulate Single Biomolecules at Low Cost – A new massively parallel approach for manipulating single DNA and protein molecules and studying their interactions under force, called “single molecule centrifugation,” has been developed by researchers from the Rowland Institute at Harvard University. The “The Centrifuge Force Microscope” (CFM) allows for improvements in throughput and cost in studying biological systems ranging from DNA replication to blood clotting, compared to technologies such as optical and magnetic tweezers and the atomic force microscope.
