A new system preserves the right to privacy in Internet searches
A team of Catalan researchers has developed a protocol to distort the user profile generated by Internet search engines, in such a way that they cannot save the searches undertaken by Internet users and thus preserve their privacy. The study has been published in the Computer Communications magazine.   view more (2009-11-06)

MIT: Computer vision may not be as good as thought
For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers.   view more (2008-01-25)

Using Synthetic Evolution to Study the Brain: Researchers Model Key Part of Neurons
The human brain has evolved over millions of years to become a vast network of billions of neurons and synaptic connections. Understanding it is one of humankind's greatest pursuits.   view more (2009-10-05)

Planning cities in cyberspace
The interactive planning system ARTHUR simplifies the work of architects and city planners by replacing tedious, traditional model design with an augmented reality system. At CeBIT, researchers are showing how building plans can be visualized and modified in 3D. With pride, the architect presents his scale model of the planned shopping center.... view more...

New way to help diagnose dementia
A new way of interpreting 3D images of the brain has opened up the possibility of doctors being able to distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain diseases. Doctors need to be able to diagnose the correct disease accurately and as early as possible to implement the most appropriate treatment. The work is being... view more... (2000-08-01)

Moon Magic: Researchers Develop New Tool To Visualize Past, Future Lunar Eclipses
Lunar eclipses are well-documented throughout human history. The rare and breathtaking phenomena, which occur when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow and seemingly changes shape, color, or disappears from the night sky completely, caught the attention of poets, farmers, leaders, and scientists alike.    view more (2009-06-09)

Was ability to run early man's Achilles heel?
The earliest humans almost certainly walked upright on two legs but may have struggled to run at even half the speed of modern man, new research suggests.   view more (2007-09-11)

Seeing the eye: Weather model advances hurricane intensity prediction
An advanced research weather model run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is following Hurricane Rita to give scientists a taste of how well forecast models of the future may predict hurricane track, intensity, and important rain and wind features.   view more (2005-09-22)

Tactics Technology Could Produce Tomorrow's Tennis Champions
State-of-the-art computer models could soon help tennis players and other sportsmen and women improve their tactics and gain a competitive edge over opponents. In a world-leading initiative, new models are being developed that can assess the effectiveness of sporting tactics more accurately than conventional video techniques. Computer scientists... view more... (2004-07-02)

1 step closer to green chemistry and improved pharmaceuticals

FSU scientists unveil new seasonal hurricane forecasting model
Scientists at The Florida State University's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) have developed a new computer model that they hope will predict with unprecedented accuracy how many hurricanes will occur in a given season.   view more (2009-07-16)

Computer Model Shows Changes in Brain Mechanisms for Cocaine Addicts
About 2 million Americans currently use cocaine for its temporary side-effects of euphoria, which have contributed to making it one of the most dangerous and addictive drugs in the country.   view more (2009-09-23)

Killer competition: Neurons duke it out for survival
The developing nervous system makes far more nerve cells than are needed to ensure target organs and tissues are properly connected to the nervous system. As nerves connect to target organs, they somehow compete with each other resulting in some living and some dying.   view more (2008-05-07)

Towards a truly clever Artificial Intelligence
A pioneering new way of creating computer programs could be used in the future to design and build robots with minds that function like that of a human being, according to a leading researcher at The University of Reading.   view more (2005-02-04)

Scientists use world's fastest supercomputer to model origins of the unseen universe
Understanding dark energy is the number one issue in explaining the universe, according to Salman Habib, of the Laboratory's Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology group.   view more (2009-10-27)

New tool finds best heart disease and stroke treatments for patients with diabetes
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Mayo Clinic have developed a computer model that medical doctors can use to determine the best time to begin using statin therapy in diabetes patients to help prevent heart disease and stroke.   view more (2009-06-30)

Computer modeling could help chlorine-hungry bacteria break down toxic waste
Cornell researchers hope to learn how certain bacteria that break down pollutants do their job and then to make them more effective in cleaning up toxic wastes.   view more (2007-06-21)

Virginia Tech's System X supercomputer provides super tool for simulation of cell division
Virginia Tech researchers in computer science and biology have used the university's supercomputer, System X, to create models and algorithms that make it possible to simulate the cell cycle — the processes leading to cell division.   view more (2007-01-31)

Banking on outlier detection
Recent bank failures point to the continuing need for vigilance by regulators and investors. Now, a report in the International Journal of Operational Research, discusses the possibility of an early-warning system that spots the outliers before they fail.    view more (2009-10-08)
