Jacob Scheuer and others at Tel-Aviv University presented a paper at a recent conference of the International Society for Optics and Photonics describing the properties and showing the potential of nano-scale antennae that can transmit optical light.
Faced with living up to one of Hopkins wrestling's most successful campaigns in 2010-2011, the Blue Jays were off to a difficult 1-7 start this year despite returning many of its core members, including NCAA tournament qualifiers juniors Paul Marcello and Reid Mosquera.
Tracking one's daily caloric intake and expenditure has always been very imprecise because of the numerous factors on which it depends. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have been working on technology that can calculate how many calories one eats and burns in a day in a much more accurate fashion. They developed the eButton, a battery-operated device worn on the chest like a normal button.
With the Thanksgiving break on the horizon, the men and women's swim teams wanted to go into Turkey Day at the top of their games. The Blue Jays did just that with numerous provisional times and an NCAA A cut qualifier at The Terp Cup, hosted by the University of Maryland.
Researchers in the Department of Pathology at the Hopkins School of Medicine suggest that High Resolution Melting (HRM) assays are simple and scalable methods for measuring HIV diversity. The HRM scores could be useful biomarkers to determine when HIV patients were infected.
The next time you head to the grocery store for your seafood fix, perhaps think again before picking up some of your favorites. We all know that many farmers of seafood use veterinary drugs in order to prevent disease in their products. However, those same drugs protecting our fishy friends can collect in the food and be harmful to humans at high concentrations. To protect against the potential of human infection, regulating agencies of importing countries set concentration limits on these drugs and are responsible for testing all imported seafood.
You probably already know that Hopkins is diverse community. We have writers, doctors and engineers, athletes, artists and bookworms. You probably didn't know, however, that we have on our campus a true chocolate aficionado.
As the holiday season approaches, many of us will be venturing off to visit our families all across the country.
With limited resources and a heavy dependence on oil, natural gas and coal, it is clear that a combination of increased renewable energy and a more efficient use of our current energy is necessary. LEDs, light emitting diodes, are the 40-year-old response to the over 120-year-old incandescent light bulb. Invented by Nick Holonyakin 1962, LEDs are highly effective, longer lasting and more environmentally friendly than incandescent light bulbs as well as Compact Florescent Lamps (CFL).
Researchers led by scientists from the Hopkins School of Medicine have isolated the protein directly responsible for the optimal perception of odors in vertebrates.
While most Blue Jays were at home feasting on turkey all week, the Hopkins women's basketball team was hard at work, kicking off their 2011 winter season to the tune of a 4-1 start.
Just getting out of a relationship? Been on the single track for a while? I hear you. You spend endless nights on the prowl for "the one"; however, no one's ever told you that it's okay to be single. In fact, you can enjoy life as a bachelor or bachelorette no problem, because once you're committed, it's game over.
NASA's Hubble Space telescope was recently able to make an extraordinary discovery by looking nine billion years into the past. This discovery, made possible by Hubble's near-infrared capabilities, involves a group of dwarf galaxies that, while young and small, are producing stars at an incredibly rapid rate. The number of stars they contain is likely to double in 10 million years.
Yasmin Hashambhoy, a postdoctorate fellow in the Feilim Mac Gabhann lab at the Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering, is one step closer to fully understanding the mechanisms that govern angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from an existing vascular network. Growth of the new blood vessels is directed by concentration gradients of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and the team has developed a computational model to simulate how the concentration gradients are regulated by a secreted inhibitor of VEGF. Their results were published this past October in Frontiers in Physiology.
Open the first page. Flip through the rest of the pages slowly, scanning the fine print. Your eyes glance over the pictures, the colors. We all have collections: baseball cards, seashells and other trinkets. Whether we started them as children or continue collecting today, these are things that we treasure, that we have come to love. For many, it is for the love of books that we start collections.
In D.C. last month, a "bawdy, Brit twist" of an ancient story opened in the H Street Playhouse for those theater-viewers that might consider themselves scholars, or perhaps hobbyist scholars.
If you think you can make the best chili or dessert at Hopkins, why don't you enter the 9th Annual Johns Hopkins Chili Cook-Off?
ou recently released some free downloads for Covered in the Flood — what are the other songs on the album going to be?
Rarely am I rooting for anything or anyone in particular when I watch the Emmys. Usually, I'm just in it for the snacks and the painful musical numbers. This year was different, though. This year was epic.
The ground trembled, dogs cowered and ear drums shattered last Sunday night as rabid fans flocked to the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Md. to see Internet sensation Team Starkid perform in the SPACE Tour, otherwise known as the Starkid Precarious Auditory Concert Experience.
