While most police departments use body armor, many still do not. A new study finds that providing body armor to all law enforcement officers in the United States would provide enough benefit to justify the cost. The study found that officers who wear body armor are three times as likely to survive being shot in the torso and estimates that providing such equipment to all officers nationally would save at least eight lives annually.

A multidisciplinary group of researchers has produced a 3.6-angstrom resolution structure of the human adenovirus. Scientists are working with adenovirus as a vector for gene therapy, but have needed better structural information.
Researchers discover how to conduct first test of 'untestable' string theory

Researchers have planned how to carry out the first experimental test of string theory. String theory was originally developed to describe the fundamental particles and forces that make up our universe. The new research describes the unexpected discovery that string theory also seems to predict the behavior of entangled quantum particles. As this prediction can be tested in the laboratory, researchers can now test string theory.
