AIRBUS, the European jet manufacturer, is planning to build concealed cameras into the light fittings above the seats in its aircraft. The idea is to let the crew monitor passengers and spot hijackers before they strike. The cameras also work in the dark. The move is part of an attempt to reassure... view more... (2002-05-08)
Rewards for innovative bioscience business ideas
The Competition was launched in January 1999, and was devised to encourage entrepreneurial and commercial awareness within the bioscience community to reflect the increasing investment in this sector, and address the often unrealised potential of UK research to improve the quality of life and generate wealth. view more (2000-02-17)
Basic work on E. coli identifies two new keys to regulation of bacterial gene expression
The cellular process of transcription, in which the enzyme RNA polymerase constructs chains of RNA from information contained in DNA, depends upon previously underappreciated sections of both the DNA promoter region and RNA polymerase, according to work done with the bacterium E. coli. view more (2006-06-19)
Liverpool Scientists Uncover How E.Coli Became Lethal
A University of Liverpool scientist has discovered how the food poisoning bug E.Coli 0157 became deadly to humans. view more (2005-04-04)
'T-ray' devices with perfect imaging abilities move a step closer
A team of American and British scientists has demonstrated an artificially made material that can provide a magnetic response to Terahertz frequency radiation, bringing the realisation and development of novel 'T-ray' devices a step closer. The advance, reported in the journal Science today (5 March), suggests many applications in biological and... view more... (2004-03-04)
Adults with lazy eye can improve
Young adults with amblyopia, or lazy eye, can improve substantially and retain their gains under a new treatment developed by researchers at USC and three Chinese universities. view more (2005-12-21)
Holograms make for better vision tests
A new paper published in the July 1 issue of OSA's Optics Letters shows that researchers in Australia have created a new one-step test that uses holograms to diagnose the astigmatic error of the human eye, a key measurement in determining the appropriate prescriptions for eye glasses in patients. view more (2007-07-09)
University showcases latest research for news media
On Tuesday 26 June Sheffield Hallam University stages a unique research presentation for the news media at its City Campus. The University has earned an excellent reputation for applied creativity and practically-oriented research, and its work often makes national and even international news. In this Research Showcase event seven researchers will... view more... (2001-06-13)
UD scientists invent novel hydrogels for repairing, regenerating human tissue
University of Delaware scientists have invented a novel biomaterial with surprising antibacterial properties that can be injected as a low-viscosity gel into a wound where it rigidifies nearly on contact--opening the door to the possibility of delivering a targeted payload of cells and antibiotics to repair the damaged tissue. view more (2007-07-19)
Caught On Film - TB Risk Of Badgers Visiting Farm Buildings
Using camera surveillance and radio tracking equipment, scientists have provided potential evidence showing how badgers could pass on bovine tuberculosis to cattle in UK farms. In a paper published in a forthcoming Proceedings B, a Royal Society journal, researchers from the University of Sussex and the Central Science Laboratory have discovered... view more... (2002-06-24)
Getting By With A Little Help From Your Friends
University of Ulster research probes pals' influences on Northern Ireland prejudice levels. Just having a friend who has a friend from the 'other side' can reduce levels of sectarian prejudice among individuals in Northern Ireland, according to new psychological research from the University of Ulster. This research was carried out in the context... view more... (2004-06-16)
Children's racial attitudes may be related to ethnic composition of their school
Understanding the emergence of and development of attitudes about race and ethnicity is a critical step in combating prejudice and racism. view more (2006-09-15)
Malaria: synergy of insecticide mixture applied to mosquito nets against resistant Anopheles
Malaria is a major scourge on health in many parts of the world, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa where over 90% of declared cases have been recorded. Mosquito nets impregnated with insecticides are considered as a good prevention and control weapon against the mosquito vectors, in particular in areas where malaria is strongly endemic. The only... view more... (2003-11-12)
Promising new metamaterial could transform ultrasound imaging
Using the same principles that help create a guitar's complex tones, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new material that holds promise for revolutionizing the field of ultrasound imaging. view more (2006-06-01)
Personalized diets may offer relief to advanced cancer patients
It is well known that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy often experience nausea and loss of appetite. But until now, few researchers have looked into why this happens and what can be done to ensure that cancer patients maintain a healthy diet during treatment. view more (2007-03-12)
VTT technology helps in the assembly of microscopic components
Nowadays, micro-sized components that are invisible to the human eye are already being used both in electronics products and elsewhere. Components range from a millimetre to a micrometre in size and are getting even smaller. VTT has developed a unique prototype machine viewer system for use in the assembly and quality inspection of parts in this... view more... (2001-12-05)
Highlights from Opto and Laser Europe, July 2000
Consultants and suppliers question train signal claims Claims made by the UK's rail operator Railtrack that its signal lights conform to the International Commission on Illumination's (CIE) recommendations have been questioned by its signal suppliers and external technical consultants. The allegations follow a story in last month's issue (OLE June... view more... (2000-06-23)
Purdue 'metamaterial' could lead to better optics, communications
Engineers at Purdue University are the first researchers to create a material that has a "negative index of refraction" in the wavelength of light used for telecommunications, a step that could lead to better communications and imaging technologies. view more (2005-12-01)
New knowledge about plutonium calms scientists
New analyses from KTH in Stockholm are creating order in the uncertainty that has prevailed for the last four years about how plutonium dioxide, one of the most important radioactive compounds in nuclear waste, behaves when it comes into contact with water. The findings are being published in the latest issue of Nature Materials. In January 2000... view more... (2004-03-19)
Welfare arouses strong feelings
Applying for welfare benefits is often associated with negative feelings such as shame and powerlessness. At the same time, the contact with the case worker is often a favorable experience. A study from Karlstad University in Sweden attempts to explain these ambivalent feelings. A report titled "The case worker is OK, but she's still part of... view more... (2003-11-26)
