NIST demonstrates better memory with quantum computer bits
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used charged atoms (ions) to demonstrate a quantum physics version of computer memory lasting longer than 10 seconds-more than 100,000 times longer than in previous experiments on the same ions.   view more (2005-08-11)

The next step in quantum computing
A team of physicists in the United States has made an important step towards making quantum computing a reality. Research into a new type of noiseless quantum information bit, or qubit, is published today in the joint Institute of Physics and German Physical Society journal, New Journal of Physics.   view more (2002-02-12)

University of Kent researchers pioneer the assessment of neurological conditions using computer analysis
Pioneering work to help stroke patients and children with dyspraxia is to be taken to the next stage thanks to an EU grant. Dr Richard Guest and Professor Mike Fairhurst from the University of Kent's Electronics Department are working with researchers at the University of Rouen to develop the use... view more (2003-10-21)

Step right up, let the computer look at your face and tell you your age
People who hope to keep their age a secret won't want to go near a computer running this software.   view more (2008-09-24)

Loughborough develops a new 'breed' of mouse
Research has shown that, when stressed, users tend to click the mouse button harder. "The new mouse, used together with future software able to adapt a computer's behaviour, could help to reduce the user's stress level," explains Michael Macauley of the design team. "For example, if... view more (2000-03-20)

Laser tweezers sort atoms
Physicists of the University of Bonn have taken one more important hurdle on the path to what is known as a quantum computer: by using 'laser tweezers' they have succeeded in sorting up to seven atoms and lining them up.   view more (2006-07-13)

Pressure on football referees is greater if there's no running track
The football team of Schalke 04 should really have won the German Football Championship this year: Schalke simply has the right stadium. Unlike their rivals from Bavaria, Bayern Munich, whose ground contains a tartan track separating the pitch from the spectators' stands. And that reduces the home... view more (2005-05-17)

Reforms Will Help Put Football On Firmer Financial Footing
SWEEPING reforms to the Football League - including the threat of relegation for clubs falling into administration and the imposition of wage caps - make good economic sense says an expert from Staffordshire University. Dr Paul Downward, a specialist in sports finance at Staffordshire University... view more (2003-04-28)

Computer poetry pushes the genre envelope
What happens to poetry in the Digital Age? In one of the first academic works in the field, Swedish researcher Maria Engberg has studied how the ability of the computer to combine words, images, movement, and sounds is impacting both writing and reading.   view more (2007-09-13)

Simple Effective Direct Computer Links from Boardroom Through to Factory Floor Promised by £200,000 New Industrial Ethernet Research Programme
Researchers from the University of Warwick`s Warwick Manufacturing Group are putting together a £200,000 "Industrial Ethernet Research Programme" that will allow technology and manufacturing companies to use internet to create simple direct effective computer links allowing control and... view more (2002-02-05)

Pump prices and Pompeii crisis
The price of petrol at any station in Yorkshire can be predicted to the nearest 0.5p per litre by a new computer model developed by geography PhD student Alison Heppenstall at the University of Leeds. She found that the location of a station is just as likely to affect the pump cost as changes in... view more (2004-09-29)

Cricket's Duckworth/Lewis Method Explained
The problem of setting a revised target for the side batting second when a game of one day cricket has been interrupted by the weather is one that has baffled the world's cricket authorities for more than 30 years. The Duckworth/Lewis method is now used in most parts of the world where cricket is... view more (1999-05-13)

Baseball diamonds: the lefthander's best friend
Baseball diamonds are a left-hander's best friend. That's because the game was designed to make a lefty the "Natural," according to David A. Peters, Ph.D., the McDonnell Douglas Professor of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and über baseball fan. Peters is a... view more (2008-07-08)

Scientists step closer to realising invisible technology
A unique computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range.   view more (2007-05-04)

Next-generation, high-performance processor unveiled at the University of Texas at Austin
The prototype for a revolutionary new general-purpose computer processor, which has the potential of reaching trillions of calculations per second, has been designed and built by a team of computer scientists at The University of Texas at Austin.   view more (2007-04-25)

UBC astronomers discover how white dwarf stars get their 'kicks'
University of British Columbia astronomer Harvey Richer and UBC graduate student Saul Davis have discovered that white dwarf stars are born with a natal kick, explaining why these smoldering embers of Sun-like stars are found on the edge rather than at the centre of globular star clusters.   view more (2007-12-05)

Mobile phones and the inner ear
A new technique has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands to look at the effect of radiation from mobile phones on complex structures like the inner ear and eye. The technique called `quasistatic zooming` will help researchers calculate the amount of radiation from mobile phones absorbed... view more (2002-04-26)

Return of the prodigal swine
As 10 000 wild boar face the cull in France, a small community is establishing itself in southern England. A decision has to be made about the future of these animals. The reintroduction of wild boar fulfils European biodiversity agreements and enhances British wildlife. Their presence is thought... view more (2001-12-04)

Paint-on laser could rescue computer chip industry
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a laser that could help save the $200-billion dollar computer chip industry from a looming crisis dubbed the "interconnect bottleneck."   view more (2006-04-18)

Computer program useful tool in dental care
Gunnel H'¤nsel Petersson at Malmö University in Sweden has received an award for her studies of Cariogram, a computer program created in Malmö to assess patients' risk of developing tooth decay, dental caries.

Let Your 3D Image Star in Your Favourite Film, Video, Pop Promo or Computer Game
The new 3D model can be imported into computer generated scenes using standard 3D modelling packages for the PC/Mac. The new technology captures a 3D model of a person from a set of colour images. Compared with available 3D laser-scanning based technologies the new approach is relatively low-cost... view more (1999-08-24)

Virtual Wheelchair Tours To Improve Disabled Access To Buildings
Wheelchair users should soon be able to experience a 'virtual tour' of buildings which have been designed but not yet constructed, to highlight any problems with access.
