Vibrating computer games should carry health warnings
Prolonged use of vibrating computer games by children may be linked to a condition known as hand-arm vibration syndrome and should carry health warnings, suggest researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)
PneuStep — MRI-safe motor makes robotic biopsies possible
Engineers at the Johns Hopkins Urology Robotics Lab report the invention of a motor without metal or electricity that can safely power remote-controlled robotic medical devices used for cancer biopsies and therapies guided by magnetic resonance imaging. view more (2007-04-09)
Magnets in a spin bath
Is quantum mechanics relevant to everyday life? Latest scientific evidence suggests that it is. A paper published in Science based on research from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and others, reports how quantum computers behave as if they are isolated devices. The extent to which they do this can be regulated by the environment... view more... (2005-04-15)
'Fireworks' Form Magnetic Ceramics
A new process that uses controlled 'fireworks' to produce designer magnetic ceramics has been developed by researchers working at University College London (UCL). The process could revolutionise the production of the magnetic ceramics that play a vital role in TVs, computers and on the back of credit cards - leading to cheaper and better quality... view more...

The Most Efficient Vector Graphics Compression Technique in the World Invented at the University of Joensuu
The digital world surrounding us is full of images. Many of them are very large and do not easily fit into small devices, such as smart mobile phones. Alexander Kolesnikov's thesis brings a revolutionary change to this. He has invented the most efficient vector graphics compression technique in the world that will make all maps, drawings and... view more... (2003-10-17)
Breakthrough in computer chip design eliminates wires in data transmission
Research slated to appear in the October 2 edition of the Optical Society of America's (OSA) Optics Express will unveil that researchers have created a new laser-silicon hybrid computer chip that can produce laser beams that will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant... view more...

Inhaler devices for the management of asthma and COPD
The latest issue of Effective Health Care focuses on the effectiveness of inhaler devices used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Inhaled therapy delivering bronchodilator and corticosteroid drugs in various doses is the mainstay of treatment for patients with asthma and COPD. There is a confusing array of inhaler... view more... (2003-01-14)
The clear future of electronics
A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind. view more (2008-12-10)
Nanoparticle synthesis allows particle size and shape to be tailored to end applications
Nanomaterials are increasingly gaining the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the public due to their unique properties which endear them to new and exciting applications. view more (2005-11-30)
Silicon chips for optical quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards the long sought after goal of a super-powerful quantum computer. view more (2008-03-28)
Trial raises doubts over alternative pain therapy for arthritis
Copper bracelets and magnetic wrist straps are ineffective in relieving arthritis pain, according to a new study led by a University of York academic. view more (2009-10-16)
Computers controlled by the Human Eye
Soon computers and many other household devices will guess the owner`s will by a slightly seen gesture or a frowned brow. This confidence has appeared for good reason: such programs have already being developed. In particular, scientists from the Research Institute of Experimental Physics in Sarov have made their own version. The principles on... view more... (2001-12-25)
Device controls electron spin at room temperature
In a breakthrough for applied physics, North Carolina State University researchers have developed a magnetic semiconductor memory device, using GaMnN thin films, which utilizes both the charge and spin of electrons at room temperature. view more (2009-04-07)
The impact of its environment on a quantum computer
Scientists have discovered how the performance of a quantum computer can be affected by its surrounding environment. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, will help engineers to better understand how to integrate quantum components into a standard office computer - moving us one step closer to a future of quantum... view more...

Gliders For Mobil Communication
The Moscow scientists have suggested that the tele- and radiobroadcast and vehicular communication transponders should be installed on the gliders instead of the towers. If such gliders can be raised up on the firm kevlar ropes to the height of 10-15 kilometres, then only three transponders will be required to ensure stable communication.... view more... (2002-06-21)
Discovery Brings New Type of Fast Computers Closer to Reality
Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called "excitons" that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality. view more (2009-09-28)
Researchers at UC-Santa Barbara have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have announced they have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser, a significant step toward combining lasers and other key optical components with the existing electronic capabilities in silicon. view more (2007-08-22)
Keeping Electronic Patient Records Whilst Maintaining Privacy Is Feasible With Appropriate Systems In Place
The electronic patient record threatens to make private health information open to violation, either by illegitimate users or by inappropriate access by legitimate users, say researchers in this week's BMJ. However, controlled access to confidential patient information is possible so long as the appropriate access systems are created, say Ian... view more... (1999-05-11)
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)
