FDA to Approve Deep Transcranial Magnetic... →
A new type of brain stimulation device for combating difficult-to-treat cases of major depressive disorder is likely to break into the large American market soon. Its maker, Jerusalem-based Brainsway, plans to apply to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for permission to market the device this month. The move follows initial results from a large-scale trial of the system, in which 30.4...

Researchers Testing Safety of Quantum Dots in... →
Quantum dots are inorganic nanoscale crystals that emit different colored light depending on their size. They glow brighter and for longer periods of time than many other fluorescent molecules. Researchers are currently exploring a variety of uses for quantum dots, from the light-emitting diodes of electronic displays, to the light-absorbing layer of solar cells, and as medical tracers of brain...

New Evidence That Cells Generate Photons to... →
Biophoton streams consist of short quasiperiodic bursts, which …are remarkably similar to those used to send binary data over a noisy channel. That might help explain how cells can detect such low levels of radiation in a noisy environment. …this could help to explain a number of interesting phenomenon that some biologists attribute to biophoton communication.
In several...
