Hearing is believing
Novel developments in electronics which are giving ecologists important new tools to quickly and easily measure biodiversity will be described at the British Ecological Society's Winter Meeting, being held at the University of York on 18-20 December 2002. Speaking at the meeting, electronics expert and entomologist Dr David Chesmore from the... view more... (2002-12-09)

Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube
Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab.    view more (2008-12-23)

Parkinson's Disease Mechanism Discovered
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have pinpointed defects in a critical cellular pathway that can lead to the death of dopamine-producing nerve cells and ultimately symptoms of Parkinson's disease.   view more (2006-06-23)

Models of eel cells suggest electrifying possibilities
Engineers long have known that great ideas can be lifted from Mother Nature, but a new paper by researchers at Yale University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) takes it to a cellular level.   view more (2008-10-03)

Scientists develop 'cyborg engineering' for coronary bypass grafting
A team of London scientists have taken a major step in making the use of artificial veins and arteries in coronary bypass grafts a reality.   view more (2008-06-04)

A possible role for honey in the treatment of wounds
New research carried out by scientists at partner institutions UWIC (University of Wales Institute, Cardiff), University of Wales College of Medicine (UWCM) in Cardiff and the University of Waikato, New Zealand, has found sensitivity to honey of wound infecting bacteria. In a report published in the November 2002 issue of Journal of Applied... view more... (2002-11-21)

Athletes should artificially heat their muscles before a race.
SPRINTERS and jumpers should wrap themselves in an electric blanket instead of doing a physical warm-up before a race. Researchers in Manchester have discovered that an athlete`s performance improves if their muscles are artificially heated.         "It`s a really significant effect," says Anthony Sargeant... view more...

Rodent study finds artificial butter chemical harmful to lungs
A new study shows that exposure to a chemical called diacetyl, a component of artificial butter flavoring, can be harmful to the nose and airways of mice.   view more (2008-03-14)

DOE official cites need for major breakthroughs to cope with climate change
Meeting the world's growing energy needs while responding to global warming during the 21st Century will be one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced, Raymond L. Orbach, Ph.D., the U.S. Department of Energy's Under Secretary for Science, says in the latest podcast in the American Chemical Society's Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions... view more...

Free will takes flight: how our brains respond to an approaching menace
Wellcome Trust scientists have identified for the first time how our brain's response changes the closer a threat gets. Using a "Pac Man"-like computer game where a volunteer is pursued by an artificial predator, the researchers showed that the fear response moves from the strategic areas of the brain towards more reactive responses as... view more...

Artificial noise saves energy
Against the background of climate change, how can xDSL systems function more energy-efficiently and cost-effectively? Scientists are providing a solution combining existing methods which network providers could implement immediately.   view more (2009-06-25)

PRODUCTS THAT THINK FOR THEMSELVES
Mechatronics is the latest engineering discipline that combines mechanical, electrical and computing systems to produce intelligent products. These devices have the capacity to sense the environment and make reasoned judgements about outputs from the system. In addition, a mechatronic device will learn from past experience. Elements of mechatronic... view more... (1999-02-03)

Zoologists challenge longstanding theory that 'eyespots' mimic the eyes of predators' enemies
Circular markings on creatures such as butterflies are effective against predators because they are conspicuous features, not because they mimic the eyes of the predators' own enemies, according to research published today in the journal, Behavioral Ecology.   view more (2008-02-22)

Researchers design model for automated, wearable artificial kidney
Two researchers from UCLA and the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System have developed a design for an automated, wearable artificial kidney, or AWAK, that avoids the complications patients often suffer with traditional dialysis.   view more (2008-07-11)

Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement Offered for Neck and Arm Pain Problems
Rush University Medical Center is one of the few sites in the country selected to participate in a clinical trial for the Artificial Cervical (neck) Disc, the latest technology in the field.   view more (2005-09-27)

"Animals" grown from an artificial embryo
VIRTUAL creatures, with muscles, senses and primitive nervous systems, have been "grown" from artificial embryos in a computer simulation. The multi-celled organisms could be the first step towards using artificial evolution to create intelligent life from scratch. Each creature begins life as a single "embryo" cell, containing a string of random... view more... (2002-08-21)

MIT: Leveraging learning for artificial respiration
MIT researchers have found that the body's innate ability to adapt to recurring stimuli could be leveraged to design more effective and less costly artificial respirators.   view more (2007-09-12)

First step to converting solar energy using 'artificial leaf'
An international team of researchers has modified chlorophyll from an alga so that it resembles the extremely efficient light antennae of bacteria.   view more (2009-06-30)

Leading cause of US food-borne illness makes its own pathway through cells
Yale researchers now have some answers about how the bacterium that is the leading cause of food-borne illness in the United States enters cells of the gut and avoids detection and destruction.   view more (2007-01-12)
