Superlensing without a super lens: physicists boost microscopes beyond limits
Attempts to break the diffraction limit with “super lenses” have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists at the University of Sydney have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, breaking through the diffraction limit by a factor of nearly four times. The key to their success was to remove the super lens altogether.

Helsinki University makes Parkinson's disease breakthrough
Scientists at the University of Helsinki on Friday said they had demonstrated that certain strains of Desulfovibrio bacteria are probable causes (siirryt toiseen palveluun) of Parkinson's disease in most cases. This finding enables screening carriers of Desulfovibrio strains and subsequently removing the bacteria from the gut. This may make it possible to prevent Parkinson's disease.
