Optimized inhaler mouthpiece design allows for more effective drug delivery
Researchers have developed an optimized mouthpiece design to aid efficient drug delivery to the lungs by reducing the amount of medication wasted as it passes through the mouthpiece of an aerosol inhaler. view more (2009-10-22)
Next Generation pH Measurement Removes the Need for Calibration
The measurement of pH is one of the most common analytical measurements used the world over in applications from process control in the food industry, to research in the pharmaceutical industry, through to effluent monitoring in the environmental sector. In 2002, the total pH measurement instrumentation market, including replacement sensors... view more... (2004-11-12)
Novel system for monitoring vehicles
The University of Deusto (Bilbao) is developing a system for the remote monitoring of vehicles. view more (2005-01-24)
Record air pollution above the Arctic
Last week Scientists of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research observed the highest air pollution on record since measurements began in Ny-Ã-lesund on Svalbard. Monitoring instruments displayed significantly increased aerosol concentrations compared to those generally found. view more (2006-05-11)
Worldwide atmospheric measurements will determine the role of atmospheric fine particles
The Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, Finland, will host the first annual meeting of the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions, EUCAARI, headed by Academy Professor Markku Kulmala, on 19-22 November 2007. view more (2007-11-16)
Study: Wireless sensors limit earthquake damage
An earthquake engineer at Washington University in St. Louis has successfully performed the first test of wireless sensors in the simulated structural control of a model laboratory building. view more (2007-04-17)
Seeing clearly despite the clouds
Satellites taking atmospheric measurements might now be able to see blue skies as clearly as optimists do. Researchers have found a way to reduce cloud-induced glare when satellites measure blue skies on cloudy days, by as much as ten-fold in some cases. view more (2008-05-21)
New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree. view more (2007-07-25)
Dirty air brings rain -- then again, maybe not
An international team of scientists, headed by Prof. Daniel Rosenfeld of the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has come up with a surprising finding to the disputed issue of whether air pollution increases or decreases rainfall. The conclusion: both can be true, depending on local environmental conditions. view more (2008-09-08)
Report calls aerosol research key to improving climate predictions
Scientists need a more detailed understanding of how human-produced atmospheric particles, called aerosols, affect climate in order to produce better predictions of Earth's future climate, according to a NASA-led report issued by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program on Friday. view more (2009-01-20)
Inhaled tuberculosis vaccine more effective than traditional shot
A novel aerosol version of the most common tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, administered directly to the lungs as an oral mist, offers significantly better protection against the disease in experimental animals than a comparable dose of the traditional injected vaccine, researchers report this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-03-13)
Iowa State researchers developing wireless soil sensors to improve farming
Ratnesh Kumar keeps his prototype soil sensors buried in a box under his desk. He hopes that one day farmers will be burying the devices under their crops. view more (2008-10-13)
Commission satellite project detects urban air pollution from space
Fine particulate matter is now one of the biggest threats to human health from air pollution. A new technique to monitor the concentration of particulate matter in urban air, using satellite-borne sensors, offers a much more cost-effective approach than traditional land-based monitoring. The first trials of this system, developed by 11 partners... view more... (2002-10-04)
Climate studies to benefit from 12 years of satellite aerosol data
Aerosols, very small particles suspended in the air, play an important role in the global climate balance and in regulating climate change. view more (2009-11-11)
Aerosols - their part in our rainfall
Aerosols may have a greater impact on patterns of Australian rainfall and future climate change than previously thought, according to leading atmospheric scientist, CSIRO's Dr Leon Rotstayn. view more (2009-02-12)
Smart jail cells could predict and prevent inmate violence
Holding cells fitted with specially-adapted sensors could provide early warnings if inmates become agitated or have a medical emergency, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry magazine. view more (2005-05-12)
World's largest aerosol sensing network has leafy origins
Twenty years ago, Brent Holben was part of a NASA team studying vegetation from space. In an unlikely career twist, his research morphed into the study of a critical, if overlooked, subplot in the story of climate change. view more (2009-06-30)
