Molecular medicine in development
Article Abstract:
A score of academicians from developed and underdeveloped countries gave their views on the role of rich countries in improving the quality of biomedical science in the rest of the world at a recent gathering organized by the Oxford International Biomedical Centre. The focus of third world countries on nonmedical science such as nuclear energy when citizens were dying of preventable diseases was of concern. Researchers' salaries in underdeveloped countries were also an issue because of the immigration of trained researchers to richer countries. One solution to the health problem was to change medical school curricula and to retrain current doctors.

The ultimate in atom manipulation
Article Abstract:
An experiment carried out at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Paris, has managed to change the phase of de Broglie waves representing atomic motion by modulating a virtual mirror which reflects atoms with a radio-frequency signal. The mirror is a prism which has a light beam polarized in the plane of the horizontal surface of the prism on which the caesium atoms fall perpendicularly. The intense electric field created bounces the atoms back vertically changing the phase of their motion.
