New coating is virtual black hole for reflections
Researchers have created an anti-reflective coating that allows light to travel through it, but lets almost none bounce off its surface. At least 10 times more effective than the coating on sunglasses or computer monitors, the material, which is made of silica nanorods, may be used to channel light... view more (2007-03-05)

Great expectations -- Study looks at why placebo effect varies from person to person
Why do some people experience a "placebo effect" that makes them feel better when they receive a sham treatment they believe to be real - while other people don't respond at all to the same thing, or even feel worse"   view more (2007-07-19)

Children with autism may learn from 'virtual peers'
Using "virtual peers" -- animated life-sized children that simulate the behaviors and conversation of typically developing children -- Northwestern University researchers are developing interventions designed to prepare children with autism for interactions with real-life children.   view more (2008-03-03)

Computer Technology Developed By Hebrew University Professor Can Save Lives For Drivers
No one likes a back-seat driver. But imagine having a silent "co-pilot" in your car that isn't a pest but can save your life, as well as those of your passengers and those in the path of your vehicle. That's what EyeQ, a computer chip developed by MobilEye -- a company founded by Prof.... view more (2004-06-27)

I oughta be in pictures "¦
Inside every movie buff is a would-be director - and soon he'll be able to prove he's got what it takes: At CeBIT, researchers are demonstrating software that creates virtual representations of objects within a running film. In each scene, the viewer can move and look around.   view more (2004-03-18)

A close look into foamy depths
Nature provides the example: The quill of a bird's feather is hollow, yet sturdy. A hard bone or piece of wood is not solid, but contains a pored inner structure. The lightness of being has meanwhile found its way into the world of materials research. Take for example metal foams, which are... view more (2003-03-17)

Global Warming: changing climate of opinion
In the 1960s, scientists anticipated a `New Ice Age`. Later, they warned of humans triggering a 'Nuclear Winter'. Now, it's 'Global Warming'. Why this change in emphasis? And why did it take 100 years for the theory behind 'Global Warming' to take hold? New research by scientists from the... view more (2002-03-26)

Infectious disease doctors respond to President Bush's strategy on pandemic influenza
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) applauds President Bush and his administration for outlining an aggressive domestic and international approach to pandemic influenza preparedness and giving this issue the high level of attention that it warrants.   view more (2005-11-03)

Mobile users make same mistakes as disabled PC users

Turning Science Fiction Into Fact
In the future, our computers no longer crash as we try and download pictures that are too heavy in memory, our cars no longer pollute the atmosphere and cancer could be dealt with by a visit to the GP.    Some of it, at least, will happen thanks to cutting edge research happening now... view more (2004-07-07)

New Technology Helps Bring The Past To Life
The past is being brought to life through wireless technology thanks to a grant of around EUR145,000 from the Information Society Technology (IST) Programme of the European Union's Framework Programme. The CHOSA (Cultural Heritage Of St Albans) project set out to develop a new way of interpreting... view more (2004-04-15)

Lords Science Committee Announces New Inquiries
The House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology has announced the subjects for its next Inquiries. Under the Chairmanship of Baroness Walmsley, Sub-Committee I will examine progress in Systematic Biology and Biodiversity.

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... 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... view more (1999-02-03)

MASSIVE GRANT BRINGS UNIQUE GAMES DEVELOPMENT NEARER REALITY
The funding body for Scottish universities has confirmed a massive £530,000 grant for Abertay to support the establishment of the project.
