Tackling Drunk-driving
There are no in-car methods of detecting that a driver is too drunk to drive - until now. A team at Bristol University, led by physiologist Dr Dilwyn Marple-Horvat, has found a new way of detecting whether a driver has drunk too much to be fit to be at the wheel. To assess a driver`s fitness to drive, a new device has been created that measures... view more... (2002-03-07)
Even low levels of weekly exercise drive down blood pressure
Even low levels of weekly exercise drive down blood pressure and boost overall fitness, suggests a small study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2007-08-14)
MU Professor Recommends Changing Drivers' Perceptions of Law Enforcement to Deter Drinking and Driving
Recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed that an estimated 2 million drunk drivers with three or more convictions will be on the roads this holiday season. In 2007, approximately 1,500 people nationwide were killed in crashes that involved a drunk driver from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. view more (2008-12-23)
Expert dispels bird flu paranoia

CD player can process more information
The current application of CD-ROM techniques demands faster and better CD-players that can process more information. PhD Student Marco Dettori’s degree ceremony is on Tuesday 10 April. His research project resulted in a greatly improved controller for CD drives. “The large amount of information on for example a DVD, demands a much... view more... (2001-04-06)
Surface tension drives segregation within cell mixtures
What does a mixture of two different kinds of cells have in common with a mixture of oil and water? The same basic force causes both mixtures to separate into two distinct regions. view more (2008-10-07)
Component of asphalt eyed as new fuel source
The pavement material that cars drive on may wind up in their fuel tanks as scientists seek ways of transforming asphaltenes - the main component of asphalt - into an abundant new source of fuel. view more (2009-09-24)
Nano-competence for hard thin films
The good old magnetic disk drive is holding up well in the face of competition from optical storage media like CD-ROM and DVD and semiconductor flash and smart cards. Major advances are still being made, with typical storage densities doubling roughly every year and a half. When IBM launched the first magnetic disk drive on the market in 1956, it... view more...

Archeological evidence of human activity found beneath Lake Huron
More than 100 feet deep in Lake Huron, on a wide stoney ridge that 9,000 years ago was a land bridge, University of Michigan researchers have found the first archeological evidence of human activity preserved beneath the Great Lakes. view more (2009-06-09)
Microorganisms helps us to drive more oil from the oil-bearing bed
When the reservoir pressure drops the oil field dries up though there is a lot of oil. To pump out the remains one has to apply pressure by pumping into the oil-bearing bed water or gas. Other method - to apply biotechnology. The oil is contaminated with specially bred mi-croorganism strains, which produce gas, acids and surface active agents... view more... (1999-08-18)
Researchers discover molecular basis of a form of muscular dystrophy
A team of French and German researchers report in the May 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) that people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy are missing a protein called c-FLIP, which the body uses to prevent the loss of muscle tissue. view more (2008-04-30)
Identifying cancer genes - will it really lead to better treatment?
Copenhagen, Denmark: A systematic trawl through the human genome looking for the abnormalities that drive cancer is already producing promising results, a scientist told ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference in Copenhagen today (Tuesday 23 September). Dr. Michael Stratton, Director of the Cancer Genome Project at the Wellcome Trust Sanger... view more... (2003-09-21)
New brake components for specialised vehicles
A team of researchers from the Industrial Design Group at the Public University of Navarre, led by Paulino Mart'nez Landa, lecturer in the field of Engineering Projects, is currently working on the adaptation of braking systems used in automobile vehicles for application in special vehicles such as mechanical diggers, fork lift trucks,... view more...

Rural roads dangerous for young drivers
Results from Australia's largest study of young drivers have shown that they are at significant risk of crash on rural roads. According to researchers from The George Institute, young drivers living in rural areas are more likely to be involved in serious crashes than those in urban areas. view more (2009-09-22)
Charting ever-changing genomes
Instead of immutable proprietary software, any species' genetic information resembles open source code that is constantly tweaked and optimized to meet the users' specific needs. view more (2007-07-20)
Back to the Future: Psychologists examine children's mental time traveling abilities
Planning and anticipating occur so frequently in our everyday lives that it is hard to imagine a time when we didn't have this capability. But just as many other capacities develop, so does this mental time traveling ability. Researchers have recently explored how children comprehend the future and ways that this understanding can be affected by,... view more... (2008-08-06)
Bad vibes - solving a problem for research and industry
An inexpensive method of damping harmful torsional vibration in rotating drive systems has been developed at Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching and submitted for patent. The method was devised in the context of fusion research but is universally applicable - wherever machines in energy technology and process engineering are... view more... (2003-11-14)
Carnegie Mellon's Sandstorm robot makes unprecedented 200-mile autonomous run
Carnegie Mellon University's autonomous robotic HUMMER Sandstorm drove an unprecedented 200 miles in seven hours without human guidance last week in preparation for the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, a 175-mile driverless desert race with a $2 million winner-take-all prize. view more (2005-07-13)
