National report calls for more research on health effects of wireless technologies
A new National Research Council report chaired by University of Colorado at Boulder Distinguished Professor Frank Barnes calls for a stronger research effort on the potential health effects of exposure to radio frequency energy tied to the global explosion in wireless technology like cell phones, laptops and hand-held Web-surfing gadgets. view more (2008-01-21)
Car not first application for fuel cells
The car will not be the first application for fuel cells. This is one of the conclusions in the doctoral thesis of Robert van den Hoed, which he will defend on 17 May at TU Delft. "My research project confirms that large organisations such as in the automobile industry have trouble implementing radical changes." A fuel cell powered car... view more... (2004-05-11)
Scientists create first working model of a 2-qubit electronic quantum processor
A team led by Yale University researchers has successfully implemented simple algorithms using a quantum processor based on microwave solid-state technology--similar to that found in computers and cell phones. view more (2009-07-01)
Mobile phones and the inner ear
A new technique has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands to look at the effect of radiation from mobile phones on complex structures like the inner ear and eye. The technique called `quasistatic zooming` will help researchers calculate the amount of radiation from mobile phones absorbed by human tissue on scales of less than one... view more... (2002-04-26)
Researchers double cell phone memory through software alone
Cell phones are increasingly sophisticated -- sporting such features as cameras, music players, games, video clips, Internet access and, lest we forget, the capability to phone someone -- but these features come at a price: memory. view more (2007-09-27)
Shifting sound to light may lead to better computer chips
By reversing a process that converts electrical signals into sounds heard out of a cell phone, researchers may have a new tool to enhance the way computer chips, LEDs and transistors are built. view more (2009-03-17)
Texting, tweeting ought to be viewed as GR8 teaching tools, scholar says
The impact of text messaging on the decline of formal writing among teens has been debated in pedagogical circles ever since cell-phone ownership became an adolescent rite of passage in the mid-2000s. But according to a University of Illinois expert in media literacy, not only are critics who argue that texting is synonymous with literary... view more... (2009-12-11)
Text messaging speeds up treatment for Chlamydia infection
Text messaging the results of a Chlamydia test speeds up treatment for the infection and cuts down on staff time, suggests a six month study in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2006-02-02)
An electrifying advance toward tomorrow's power suits
Could powering an iPod or cell phone become as easy as plugging it into your tee shirt or jeans, and then recharging the clothing overnight? view more (2010-01-21)
Easy to use emergency mobile device for people at risk
Mobile phones can save lives in emergencies, but are not widely used among those considered to be most at risk: elderly people and sufferers of age-related and chronic diseases. view more (2006-04-21)
This article will self-destruct: A tool to make online personal data vanish
Computers have made it virtually impossible to leave the past behind. College Facebook posts or pictures can resurface during a job interview. A lost cell phone can expose personal photos or text messages. A legal investigation can subpoena the entire contents of a home or work computer, uncovering incriminating, inconvenient or just embarrassing... view more... (2009-07-22)
Dangerous technology -- Mobiles should be kept away from hospital beds
Mobile phones should come no closer than one meter to hospital beds and equipment, according Dutch research published in the online open access journal, Critical Care. view more (2007-09-06)

Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance or power user, and a cathode (see figure). At the... view more... (2003-11-14)
New Technology Helps Bring The Past To Life
The past is being brought to life through wireless technology thanks to a grant of around EUR145,000 from the Information Society Technology (IST) Programme of the European Union's Framework Programme. The CHOSA (Cultural Heritage Of St Albans) project set out to develop a new way of interpreting and experiencing the Roman Park and remains of the... view more... (2004-04-15)
