Utah researchers confirm chromosome may harbor autism gene
Using technology that allows DNA from thousands of genes to be collected and surveyed on a 3 x 1¬Ω-inch chip, University of Utah medical researchers have confirmed that a region on a single chromosome probably harbors a gene that causes autism. view more (2006-01-18)
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Unveils GridWiseTM Initiative to Test New Electric Grid Technologies
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory announced today the launch of the Pacific Northwest GridWiseTM Demonstration projects, a regional initiative to test and speed adoption of new smart grid technologies that can make the power grid more resilient and efficient. view more (2006-01-12)
Carbon nanoribbons could make smaller, speedier computer chips
Stanford chemists have developed a new way to make transistors out of carbon nanoribbons. The devices could someday be integrated into high-performance computer chips to increase their speed and generate less heat, which can damage today's silicon-based chips when transistors are packed together tightly. view more (2008-05-28)
Road rage and computer rage may be the same
Research has shown that a key factor in road rage incidents is frustration caused by having one's goals blocked. Now a new study shows that experiences of computer rage may be related to similar factors. view more (2005-03-21)
Researchers push transmission rate of copper cables
You may not be able to get blood out of a turnip, but according to Penn State engineers, you can increase the data transmission of Category-7 copper cables used to connect computers to each other and the Internet. view more (2007-11-15)
Super-computer reaches for the stars
Scientists at the University of York have been awarded a £234,000 grant for a powerful computer, called Beowulf, that will help them model large and fundamental happenings in the universe - from the evolution of the stars to the way in which DNA works. They will be using the grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council... view more... (2002-02-05)
Can Computers Argue?
The answer is yes, and not only that: they can also evaluate what will be the most successful strategy for conflict resolution, including re-formulating their action, or evading confrontation. Argument is used by computer agents only as the last resort. The effectiveness of argumentation-based negotiation (ABN) for computer agents operating in... view more... (2004-07-05)
Researchers: Molecular forklifts overcome obstacle to 'smart dust'
Algae is a livid green giveaway of nutrient pollution in a lake. Scientists would love to reproduce that action in tiny particles that would turn different colors if exposed to biological weapons, food spoilage or signs of poor health in the blood. view more (2009-01-20)
German Government funds digital broadcasting in short, medium and long wave
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (bmb+f) will fund the project Radiomondo. During the next three years developments for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will be supported with 3.9 million Euro. The project consortium consists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS-A, Deutsche Telekom AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Sony... view more... (2002-01-11)
18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
A Vast Right Arm Conspiracy? Study Suggests Handedness May Effect Body Perception
There are areas in the brain devoted to our arms, legs, and various parts of our bodies. The way these areas are distributed throughout the brain are known as "body maps" and there are some significant differences in these maps between left- and right-handed people. view more (2009-11-05)
Gesture-controlled Communication with Computers
The handling of the new computer system of Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is contactless and based on gestures and hand commands. This user-friendly man-machine communication can be used for toys and games, for presentation technology and to control autonomous robots. A computer puzzle that can be played contactless and without... view more... (2004-03-12)
Light shines way to diagnosis - The Physics Congress 2003
A research team from the Institute of Photonics at the University of Strathclyde has developed an array of miniature ultra-bright light emitting diodes (LEDs), which they believe could form the basis of a biosensor detection system, allowing doctors to perform thousands of clinical tests all in one go. Team leader Professor Martin Dawson will be... view more... (2003-03-17)
Microchip-based device can detect rare tumor cells in bloodstream
A team of investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Biomicroelectromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) Resource Center and the MGH Cancer Center has developed a microchip-based device that can isolate, enumerate and analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from a blood sample. view more (2007-12-20)
Researchers develop neural implant that learns with the brain
Devices known as brain-machine interfaces could someday be used routinely to help paralyzed patients and amputees control prosthetic limbs with just their thoughts. Now, University of Florida researchers have taken the concept a step further, devising a way for computerized devices not only to translate brain signals into movement but also to... view more...

Predicting risk of stroke from one's genetic blueprint
A new statistical model could be used to predict an individual's lifetime risk of stroke, finds a study from the Children's Hospital Informatics Program (CHIP). Using genetic information from 569 hospital patients, the researchers showed that their predictive model could estimate an individual's overall risk of cardioembolic stroke -- the most... view more...

MIT develops 'tractor beam' for cells, more
In a feat that seems like something out of a microscopic version of Star Trek, MIT researchers have found a way to use a "tractor beam" of light to pick up, hold, and move around individual cells and other objects on the surface of a microchip. view more (2007-10-31)
Thumb-size microsystem enables cell culture and incubation
Integrating silicon microchip technology with a network of tiny fluid channels, some thinner than a human hair, researchers at The Johns Hopkins University have developed a thumb-size micro-incubator to culture living cells for lab tests. view more (2007-10-03)
MIT: Better way to harness waste heat
New MIT research points the way to a technology that might make it possible to harvest much of the wasted heat produced by everything from computer processor chips to car engines to electric powerplants, and turn it into usable electricity. view more (2009-11-19)
Are nanobots on their way?
The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers, researchers describe an early prototype for a nanoassembler. view more (2008-04-29)
