What to do with 15 million gigabytes of data
When it is fully up and running, the four massive detectors on the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva are expected to produce up to 15 million gigabytes, aka 15 petabytes, of data every year   view more (2008-11-03)

Creating a new approach to archiving human genetic information
A genome sequence is a long sequence written in a four letter code-3 billion letters in the case of a human genome. But what is the meaning-how is the code deciphered?   view more (2008-07-08)

Electronic cornucopia
If only electronic shopping for our everyday needs was easier in practice - at the touch of a button, using a device that is simple to operate and as familiar as a pocket calculator. Of course, if the entire technology is to be accepted, customer satisfaction must be guaranteed, and that means... view more (2001-07-30)

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For... view more (2003-01-24)

How do children think about technology?
Children growing up in the West today cannot imagine a world without mobile phones. They use high-tech gadgets without thinking much about them. An international research project will now examine what these skills mean for the society.   view more (2004-12-07)

Magnets in a spin bath
Is quantum mechanics relevant to everyday life? Latest scientific evidence suggests that it is. A paper published in Science based on research from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and others, reports how quantum computers behave as if they are isolated devices. The extent to which... view more (2005-04-15)

Key component of Earth's crust formed from moving molten rock
Earth scientists are in the business of backing into history -- extrapolating what happened millions of years ago based on what they can observe now. Using this method, a team of Cornell researchers has created a mathematical computer model of the formation of granulite, a fine-grained metamorphic... view more (2008-03-06)

Search engine experts look forwards to completely digital lives and backwards to Washington's letters
A conference at the University of Sheffield is set to celebrate ten years since the first Web search engines, and will reveal some of the capabilities of search engines of the future, and the way that our use of computers will lead them to new ways of archiving and retrieving information.... view more (2004-07-23)

Inka textile devices served as business ledgers
While most ancient cultures recorded civil matters and business transactions by inscribing characters on 2-dimensional sheets, new evidence shows Peru's original inhabitants used a 3-dimensional system of knotted strings to keep track of things.   view more (2005-08-15)

Himalayan megaquakes powered by elastic energy in Tibetan plateau, says U of Colorado study
Computer simulations indicate that Himalayan mega-earthquakes must occur every 1,000 years or so to empty a reservoir of energy in southern Tibet not released by smaller earthquakes.   view more (2006-11-09)

Dynamic brain atlas may help diagnose patients using advanced brain scans
Scientists have today unveiled new technology that may one day help doctors identify subtle brain abnormalities that underly major diseases including many psychiatric disorders and dementia.   view more (2002-04-25)

Revolutionary technology bringing fish to the desert
The world-first project will help to provide people living in barren regions with a vital source of protein and a valuable, if unlikely, cash crop. The intensive fish-growing system being developed can be set up anywhere in the world. Environmental geochemist Michael Krom is co-ordinating the... view more (1999-02-12)

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)

EPSRC achieves a world first in high performance computing
For the first time supercomputers in the UK and the US have been linked to carry out an interactive scientific experiment. It involves three of the most powerful computing resources in the world working in parallel with each other. This is the first demonstration of the use of the "Grid"... view more (2003-11-21)

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)

Skin cancer diagnosis technique could also help prevent blindness
A new technique to aid early detection of skin cancer could also help fight serious eye diseases such as those caused by diabetes. The technique has been developed at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Swindon-based Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It involves... view more (2002-11-26)

Researchers demonstrate direct brain control of humanoid robot
A classic science-fiction scene shows a person wearing a metal skullcap with electrodes sticking out to detect the person's thoughts. Another sci-fi movie standard depicts robots doing humans' bidding. Now the two are combined, and in real life: University of Washington researchers can control the... view more (2006-12-18)
