Ductile grinding of silicon wafers
Microchips have become an indispensable feature of everyday life. They make telephones and washing machines "smart", they control computers, and take the strain out of car driving. These tiny devices are produced on flat sheets of silicon, known as wafers. Conventional wafers measure 200 millimeters in diameter, but soon 300-millimeter diameters... view more... (1999-07-01)

Thorough tests for car seats
A car seat can be a life-saver in the case of an accident. The seats absorb the forces of impact and protect passengers from injury. Even under normal circumstances, car seats have to withstand a great deal: In the course of its useful life, a front seat is moved forward and back thousands of times, it has to absorb vibrations from unpaved roads,... view more...

Computer-based programs provide help for smokers trying to quit
Trying to quit cigarettes but don't know how? A new analysis led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health, suggests that Web- and computer-based smoking cessation programs are worth a try, and fortunately during these tough economic times, many of them are free. view more (2009-05-26)
Switching off analogue TV will silence radio mikes
Actors could be struck dumb when everyone has digital television SWITCHING off Britain`s analogue television network threatens to silence its theatres, concert halls and TV studios. After 2006, the government plans to raise billions of pounds by auctioning licences to use the UHF frequencies... view more... (2002-03-13)
UniS Lecturer to serve on Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment
Dr Corinne de Vries, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacoepidemiology at the Postgraduate Medical School at the University of Surrey, has been invited to serve as a member of the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) with immediate effect until 31 March 2007. COT, which is part of the Department of Health,... view more... (2004-08-09)
Rutgers University Scientist's Research Reveals Critical Knowledge About the Nervous System
Uncover the neural communication links involved in myelination, the process of protecting a nerve's axon, and it may become possible to reverse the breakdown of the nervous system's electrical transmissions in such disorders as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, diabetes and cancers of the nervous system. view more (2007-11-07)
Rong Li Lab demonstrates the process of mammalian egg maturation
he Rong Li lab team has answered an important question about how mammalian eggs undergo maturation through an intricate process of asymmetric cell division. The team discovered a novel pathway by which chromatin exerts command on the cell membrane to produce a specialized machinery used for cell division. view more (2007-02-06)
Navigate via the web with the SisNet receiver
Knowing your precise position anytime via the internet is now possible thanks to the Signal in Space through Internet (SisNet) technology developed by the European Space Agency. This technology combines the powerful capabilities of satellite navigation and the internet. As a result, the highly accurate navigation information that comes from the... view more... (2002-09-09)
Building a hand-held lab-on-a-chip to simplify blood tests
A cell phone-sized blood-count machine requiring less blood than a mosquito bite will make blood tests easier for many patients, from neonatal units to astronauts in space. view more (2006-04-13)
VIRTUAL FRIEND HELPS YOUNG ASTHMA SUFFERERS
Young people with chronic health problems can benefit from text message services, say researchers this week's BMJ. Doctors in Tayside set up a mobile phone text message service combining reminders to use an inhaler with sport news, celebrity gossip, and horoscopes. The messages were sent by a "virtual friend with asthma" to 30 young... view more... (2002-09-10)
New paper sheds light on bacterial cell wall recycling
A new paper by a team of researchers led by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, provides important new insights into the process by which bacteria recycle their cell wall. view more (2008-09-09)
The Mathematics of Cloaking
The theorists who first created the mathematics that describe the behavior of the recently announced "invisibility cloak" have revealed a new analysis that may extend the current cloak's powers, enabling it to hide even actively radiating objects like a flashlight or cell phone. view more (2006-12-27)
Pioneering device promises a safer future for rail travel
A tiny electronic device which could prevent rail disasters has been created by scientists less than a mile from where the railway revolution began. view more (2003-10-31)
The development of stem cells -- not only which and where but also WHEN
Yet another stride has been taken on the road to knowledge about the development of the nervous system. For the first time factors have been uncovered that decide when a cell is to develop into another cell. During the last ten years much progress has been made in finding out what determines how various types of nerve cells develop from a stem... view more... (2003-03-20)
Drawing inspiration from nature to build a better radio
MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals. view more (2009-06-04)
Speedy diagnosis at the doctor's office
Biochemical reactions can be monitored with the help of biosensors, allowing rapid analysis of blood counts or identification of toxins in water or foodstuffs. The biosensors employ selective biochemical reactions, based on the so-called lock-and-key principle to detect specific. In the case of an immune response, for example, an antibody attaches... view more... (1999-07-01)
Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform. Functional building blocks, such as ion channels,... view more... (2001-03-01)
Cell phones become handheld tools for global development
Mobile phones are on the verge of becoming powerful tools to collect data on many issues, ranging from global health to the environment. view more (2009-10-30)
Women 10 times more likely to do breast self-exams correctly with intervention, KP study finds
A brief intervention program - consisting of one counseling session and two follow-up phone calls - boosted by tenfold the number of women correctly performing breast self- exams. view more (2009-04-30)
