Fingerprinting euro coins
Many Europeans are now learning to deal with a new currency. But also cash dispensers and cigarette machines must distinguish clearly between euros, the old currencies and counterfeit money. A miniature computer now checks the coins by means of digital image processing. For users of the new... view more (2002-02-01)

e-Science methods reveal new insights into antibiotic resistance
Large-scale computer simulations have pinpointed a tiny change in molecular structure that could account for drug resistance in Streptomices pneumoniae, the organism that causes childhood pneumonia and claims 3.5 million lives a year, mainly in developing countries.   view more (2005-08-16)

English football, a global game? No, English clubs still recruit close to home
The labour market for professional footballers is frequently presented as one of the best-known examples of globalisation because of the high profile increase in the number of foreign footballers. Yet research by LSE sociologist Dr Patrick McGovern finds that when it comes to buying foreign... view more (2002-06-11)

University Launches the World's Largest Ever Test of Psychic Ability
The 'Mind Machine' is a steel kiosk that houses a specially designed multi-media computer and touch sensitive screen. It presents the public with a series of video clips that guides them through an experiment testing psychic ability. This unique interactive experiment invites them to register their... view more (1999-03-17)

Getting live help on the Internet
Who has not wound up nowhere in an Internet search for information that should be available about a company, an institution, or an organization? Who has not then longed to have someone to talk to who could answer questions with no hassle or waste of time? Johan Ã"¦berg, from the Department of... view more (2002-05-08)

Watermarks for 3D models
Film producers, industrial and furniture designers and last but not least makers of computer games all work with 3D models. The risk of unlawful reproduction and distribution of the data is increasing. "More and more of these animated graphics, which are costly to produce, can simply be... view more (2003-03-10)

Rebuilding old relics
THE years take their toll on forgotten relics. By the time they make it into a museum, bits have flaked off and colours faded.

Synthetic faces assist hearing-impaired
With the help of computer-animated faces, people with hearing impairments will soon be able to read lips over the phone. More powerful computers and better methods of animation make expressions and movements in synthetic faces so natural that they can be used for lip-reading. The quality is only... view more (2003-06-16)

NASA diagnoses Tropical Storm Gert's growth spurt
