Safer skies for the flying public
University of Texas professor Constantine Caramanis and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are working on a air traffic decision-making system that rapidly adapts its flight recommendations without human input based on thousands of changing variables. view more (2008-09-04)
Computers in the classrooom: girls lose out in the boy zone
Boys dominate computers in the classroom, and young girls still see the computer as predominantly a 'male preserve' according to research presented today, Tuesday 15 December, to The British Psychological Society's London Conference, held at the Institute of Education, by psychologists Dr Helen Fitzpatrick (Strathclyde University) and Dr Margaret... view more...

Computer Based Model Helps Radiologists Diagnose Breast Cancer
Radiologists have developed a computer based model that aids them in discriminating between benign and malignant breast lesions, according to a study performed at the University Of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison, WI. view more (2009-04-06)
Computer test for would-be keyhold surgeons
Advances in computer-based testing mean it is now possible to identify doctors who are likely to have difficulty in becoming good keyhole surgeons. Assessing those trainees who have potential for this branch of surgery has been difficult - at best their shortcomings may not be discovered until after a lot of expensive training and at worst after... view more...

Surf not up for Palaeozoic creatures - new model reveals ancient sea was a giant lake
The ancient sea was more like a giant salty lake than a rolling ocean, report scientists from Imperial College London in the May edition of the Journal of the Geological Society. A new computer model that simulates how tides in North West Europe would have behaved 300 million years ago shows a sea with so little movement that it was unlike any on... view more... (2005-05-09)
Roadrunner supercomputer puts research at a new scale
Less than a week after Los Alamos National Laboratory's Roadrunner supercomputer began operating at world-record petaflop/s data-processing speeds, Los Alamos researchers are already using the computer to mimic extremely complex neurological processes. view more (2008-06-13)
Scientific work to predict flooding events
New high-speed computing techniques are being used to improve the accuracy and reliability of current flooding prediction methods. The work is being funded by the Swindon-based Engineering and Physical Sciences Research council. It's being carried out by Professors Pender and Bevan at Heriot-Watt and Lancaster Universities. The project will... view more... (2002-02-04)
'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...

Quest for better breast cancer drugs
Breast cancer sufferers could eventually benefit from high-tuned, tailor-made drug treatments that minimise side effects as a result of a joint initiative between computer scientists in Edinburgh and cellular biologists in Japan. view more (2006-11-28)
MU Research Leads to Improved Human, Object Detection Technology
When searching for basketball videos online, a long list of websites appears, which may contain a picture or a word describing a basketball. But what if the computer could search inside videos for a basketball? view more (2009-11-04)
Radical 'Ballistic Computing' Chip Bounces Electrons Around Like Billiards
Computer designers at the University of Rochester are going ballistic. view more (2006-08-21)
The PRIMA project aims to ease information retrieval: The computer serves its user better by tracking
What if your computer knew ahead of time what topic you want more information about? The Proactive Information Retrieval by Adaptive Models of Users (PRIMA) project develops methods by which the computer tracks the user's eye gaze and other activities, and learns to use those to identify what the user is interested in. view more (2005-04-14)
Study shows why sporting heroes should thank their friends
Encouraging words from friends and family can pave the way to sporting victory, according to research by the University of Exeter, released today. view more (2009-03-03)
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...

Chimps, like humans, focus on faces
A chimp's attention is captured by faces more effectively than by bananas. A series of experiments described in BioMed Central's open access journal Frontiers in Zoology suggests that the apes are wired to respond to faces in a similar manner to humans. view more (2009-07-23)
Referee!
"IT`S only a game," some might say. But with 40,000 people screaming at your every decision, it takes a special sort of person to keep a cool head. Despite their reputation for stoic impartiality, however, it seems that even referees are swayed by the baying mob. A researcher in Britain has shown that a hostile crowd can make them think twice... view more... (2002-05-08)
The 'choking game,' psychological distress and bullying
Ontario's youth are experiencing a different kind of high -- approximately seven percent (an estimated 79,000 students in grades 7 to 12) report participating in a thrill-seeking activity called the "choking game", which involves self-asphyxiation or having been choked by someone else on purpose. view more (2008-05-01)
Cut and run: MSU research predicts risk avoidance in the face of chronic economic loss
Individual investors are liquidating their holdings at record levels as financial markets sink, often absorbing losses to avoid possibly worse pain later. Contradicting the counsel of many financial advisers, it also flies in the face of widely accepted behavioral theory and reinforces recent research by Michigan State University scientists. view more (2008-10-28)
Simulating cardiac arrest enables targeted treatment
Treating a victim of cardiac arrest demands a rapid response. A new computer simulation of the heart is enabling physicists to help doctors make the best clinical decisions. view more (2002-01-17)
NIST defining the expanding world of cloud computing
A working definition for cloud computing-a new computer technique with potential for achieving significant cost savings and information technology agility-has been released by a team of computer security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2009-05-22)
