KEYSTONE, CO -- People with pain in the elbow or forearm from playing sports or just from common everyday activities, might be able to use a simple bar and strengthening exercise to alleviate pain, say researchers who are presenting their study results at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Annual Meeting in Keystone, Colorado, July 9th-12th.
KEYSTONE, CO (July 10, 2009) -- Athletic injuries can derail any player's ability to compete, but for a baseball pitcher his shoulder strength and control is critical.
A scientific instrument package developed in part by the University of Colorado at Boulder for the $2.2 billion orbiting Herschel Space Observatory that was launched in May by the European Space Agency has made its first successful observations, targeting two star-forming galaxies near the Milky Way.
KEYSTONE, CO -- Replacing a joint in any part of the body often leads to a long recovery process and the possibility of not being able to return to a sport or activity.

Biophysicists long for an ideal material -- something more structured and less sticky than a standard glass surface -- to anchor and position individual biomolecules. Gold is an alluring possibility, with its simple chemistry and the ease with which it can be patterned. Unfortunately, gold also tends to be sticky and can be melted by lasers.
