It depends how large the nanoparticles are, I suppose. Down to a certain size and they can just be filtered out by the kidneys. I have some minor experience working with iron oxide nanoparticles to be used as MRI contrast agents and I believe there was just a window of time during which the MRI could be done and then after a few days the particles would be cleared from the bloodstream. To be honest, I didn't really think too much about it and was kind of shooting off the cuff. Obviously a lot depends on the size and type of the nanoparticles, how they are injected, and how they targeted the tumors. Being too lazy to RTFA, I don't really know what they did in this case.

They're probably tested to make sure that they are cleared from the body the same way anything else is.

Newsletter? I'm hoping for a magazine.

Read the title initially as saying that Ericsson was trying to copyright common sense. Which seems pretty reasonable to me, there's definitely no prior art on common sense on the internet.

What if I told you that 90% of movements written in sonata form had the sequence structure 'Exposition-Development-Recapitulation'? What if I told you that blues used a lot of ii-V-I progressions? Nothing interesting in this study, move along.

Now that they've dealt with Zimbabwe, maybe they can find out what's going on with all those Nigerian princes.

They should have done the ESP card test from Ghostbusters.

I hear they have these things called vibrators and fleshlights. Apparently some crazy people still prefer human contact. Besides, if it ever gets to that point, we'll all be cyborgs anyway, so we'll still be loving our own kind.

Yeah, but if you don't have it, your only other option is to kick ass.

It's ironic that they decided this was news even though it's not the first time it's happened.

http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3161#comments An interesting link on that subject. I'm not a fan of dropping the "to be" myself, but it appears to be fairly common in certain regions.

Actually, arcane means something is known to few/obscure. So an arcane security method could be interpreted as a security method that relies on obscurity.

Ah, which is why we should adopt Chinese characters. There's no way we'd ever run out of those.

If future generations can't deal with multiplying a constant by 2, they probably shouldn't be doing math.
