A team of physicists at UC Santa Barbara has seen the light, and it comes in many different colors.

Like normal tissue, tumors thrive on nutrients carried to them by the blood stream. The rapid growth of new blood vessels is a hallmark of cancer, and studies have shown that preventing blood vessel growth can keep tumors from growing, too. To better understand the relationship between cancer and the vascular system, researchers would like to make detailed maps of the complete network of blood vessels in organs

Atheists The best thing about writing a story as a journalist is that you get to interact with astute readers who are never reticient about telling you what you missed in your reporting. My story, “ The Neuroscience of True Grit ,” the cover in the current issue, talks about what we know, and what we’re still trying to find out, about psychological resilience: the thing that
