All that glitters: The first ERS/Envisat interferogram
With its casinos and neon lights, Las Vegas may be the Glitter Capital of the world, but two ESA radar images of the city have come together in another kind of glitter showcase. In an ESA first, radar images from the Envisat and ERS-2 satellites were processed by researchers at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and combined to produce a... view more... (2003-04-25)
New 'superlens' reveals hidden nanostructures
A microscope used to scan nanostructures can be dramatically enhanced by using a 'superlens,' reports an international team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biochemistry and The University of Texas at Austin in this week's issue of Science. view more (2006-09-15)

The British Psychological Society's London Conference 1998 will take place on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 December at the Institute of Education, University of London, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL. view more (1998-12-03)
Johns Hopkins housing and testing only 256-slice CT scanner in North America
Johns Hopkins Medicine has installed for three months of initial safety and clinical testing a 256-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner, believed to be the world's most advanced CT imaging software and machinery. view more (2007-03-27)
NASA and NOAA'S GOES-14 satellite takes first full disk image
The latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-14, provided its first visible full disk image of Earth on July 27, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The prime instrument on GOES, called the Imager, is taking images of Earth with a 1 kilometer (km) or 0.62 mile resolution from an altitude of 36,000 km (22,240 miles) above Earth's surface,... view more...

Spookfish uses mirrors for eyes
A remarkable new discovery shows the four-eyed spookfish to be the first vertebrate ever found to use mirrors, rather than lenses, to focus light in its eyes. view more (2009-01-08)
New medical ultrasound technology rides wave of the future
A fully digital 4D ultrasound system is set to provide a 'next generation' integrated solution for medical imaging applications, allowing practitioners to provide faster treatment and improve therapeutic success rates. view more (2005-05-12)
VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic conditions. view more (1999-09-14)
Accurate method for interpretation of heart images developed in Finland - Early detection of heart diseases
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed an internationally significant method for interpreting MRI images of the heart. Myocardial diseases are among the most common causes of death in Western countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart is the most accurate imaging method that assesses the function of the cardiac... view more... (2004-09-23)
NIST/Maryland Researchers Demonstrate 'Quantum Data Buffering' Scheme
Pushing the envelope of Albert Einstein's "spooky action at a distance," known as entanglement, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have demonstrated a "quantum buffer," a technique that could be used... view more...

The Milky Way's tiny but tough galactic neighbor
In the new ESO image, Barnard's Galaxy glows beneath a sea of foreground stars in the direction of the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer). view more (2009-10-14)
UCF researcher's nanoparticles could someday lead to end of chemotherapy
Nanoparticles specially engineered by University of Central Florida Assistant Professor J. Manuel Perez and his colleagues could someday target and destroy tumors, sparing patients from toxic, whole-body chemotherapies. view more (2009-06-17)
Shedding new light on biology
Physicists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have developed a state-of-the-art microscope that gives scientists a much deeper look into living organisms than ever before. The new technology will undoubtedly become a standard fixture in modern biology labs. Its many advantages and applications are described in the latest edition... view more... (2004-08-09)
Research yields new clues to how we locate objects in space
Two mechanisms have been commonly described which allow us to locate objects in space. Direct perception occurs when we see, hear or feel an object; by directly looking at an object, for example, we can easily describe its size, shape and where it is located in space. view more (2009-01-13)
NASA's Swift satellite images a galaxy ablaze with starbirth
Combining 39 individual frames taken over 11 hours of exposure time, NASA astronomers have created this ultraviolet mosaic of the nearby "Triangulum Galaxy." view more (2008-02-26)
New technique that scrambles light may lead to sharper images, wider views
When photographers zoom in on an object to see it better, they lose the wide-angle perspective -- they are forced to trade off "big picture" context for detail. But now an imaging method developed by Princeton researchers could lead to lenses that show all parts of the scene at once in the same high detail. The new method could help... view more...

Madonna Vies With Hepburn for Title of 21st Century Post-Feminist Icon
As International Women's Day on 8th March 2003 approaches new research hails film star Audrey Hepburn, who first hit silver screens in the 1950s, as a rival to Madonna as 21st century post-feminist icon. Like pop star Madonna, who frequently transforms her image, Dr Rachel Moseley from the University of Warwick reveals the flexibility of Hepburn's... view more... (2003-03-07)
