Ground-breaking research to develop 'conscious' robot
Researchers at the Universities of Essex and Bristol will soon be launching a ground-breaking project to develop a 'conscious' robot. The aim of the project, which involves computer scientists and neuropsychologists, is to advance the technology of intelligent machines, while also extending the understanding of human consciousness. Owen Holland,... view more... (2003-08-22)

New discovery: if it weren't for this enzyme, decomposing pesticide would take millennia
An enzyme inside a bacterium that grows in the soil of potato fields can - in a split second - break down residues of a common powerful pesticide used for killing worms on potatoes, researchers have found.   view more (2005-10-25)

Five more African countries to benefit from Schistosomiasis Control Initiative
Another five countries from across Africa have today been informed that they will benefit from a multi-national project to tackle schistosomiasis. Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Zambia and Tanzania, will be supported by the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), based at Imperial College London and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates... view more...

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 £600,000 international project, which aims to... view more... (1999-02-12)

Digital zebrafish embryo provides the first complete developmental blueprint of a vertebrate
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have generated a digital zebrafish embryo - the first complete developmental blueprint of a vertebrate. With a newly developed microscope scientists could for the first time track all cells for the first 24 hours in the life of a zebrafish.   view more (2008-10-10)

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 of computer analysis to assess the outcome of... view more...

A pain in the neck
The world record for fastest text message typing is held by a 21-year old college student from Utah, but his dexterous digits could mean serious injury later on.   view more (2009-11-11)

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 the mouse button is being clicked excessively... 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)

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 integration of technology on a factory floor with every... view more...

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 oil prices.   view more (2004-09-29)

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)

'Instant on' computing
The ferroelectric materials found in today's "smart cards" used in subway, ATM and fuel cards soon may eliminate the time-consuming booting and rebooting of computer operating systems by providing an "instant-on" capability as well as preventing losses from power outages.   view more (2009-04-20)

Next-generation, high-performance processor unveiled at the University of Texas at Austin
