Doctors cut repeat LASIK visits dramatically
Ophthalmologists have developed a formula that slashes by nearly two-thirds the likelihood that patients will need repeat visits to an eye surgeon to adjust their vision after their initial LASIK visit. view more (2006-09-19)
Denser computer chips possible with plasmonic lenses that 'fly'
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, are reporting a new way of creating computer chips that could revitalize optical lithography, a patterning technique that dominates modern integrated circuits manufacturing. view more (2008-10-23)
Mother deer cannot recognize the calls of their own offspring but sheep and reindeer can
In a new study from The American Naturalist, researchers from the University of Zurich studied vocal communication between fallow deer mothers and their offspring. view more (2006-09-05)
New Links Between University Academics and Schools
On Thursday 12th September a new scheme will be launched to build links between research scientists and British schools. The UK Life Science Committee (UKLSC) has been working with Dr Peter Robinson, a lecturer in Biological Sciences at the University of Central Lancashire, to assemble a database of academics who are willing to give talks in... view more...

Ground breaking research to end in tears
University of Western Sydney researcher, Associate Professor Tom Millar has approached the problem of dry eyes from a new perspective. He re-examined the structure and function of natural tears to find new clues for creating longer lasting artificial tears. view more (2007-05-30)
Family ties that bind: Maternal grandparents are more involved in the lives of their grandchildren
As families gather round for the winter holidays, some faces may be more familiar than others. A recent study shows that the amount of social interaction between extended family members depends on whether people are related through their mother or father. view more (2007-12-19)
Urban myth disproved: Fingerprints do not improve grip friction
Fingerprints mark us out as individuals and leave telltale signs of our presence on every object that we touch, but what are fingerprints really for? view more (2009-06-12)
Scientists demonstrate highly directional semiconductor lasers
Applied scientists at Harvard University in collaboration with researchers from Hamamatsu Photonics in Hamamatsu City, Japan, have demonstrated, for the first time, highly directional semiconductor lasers with a much smaller beam divergence than conventional ones. The innovation opens the door to a wide range of applications in photonics and... view more... (2008-07-28)
Role seen for cannabis in helping to alleviate allergic skin disease
Administering a substance found in the cannabis plant can help the body's natural protective system alleviate an allergic skin disease (allergic contact dermatitis), an international group of researchers from Germany, Israel, Italy, Switzerland and the U.S. has found. view more (2007-08-17)
Novel semiconductor structure bends light 'wrong' way -- the right direction for many applications
A Princeton-led research team has created an easy-to-produce material from the stuff of computer chips that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite direction from all naturally occurring materials. view more (2007-10-15)
A new technique for curing blindness, squeezing a thousand DVDs into a matchbox and finding the missing link in optoelectronics – all covered in the January/February issue of Opto and Laser Europe
CURING BLINDNESS Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the principal cause of blindness for patients over 50 in the developed world. A new drug has recently been given approval for use in photodynamic therapy to treat this condition in Europe and the US. Photodynamic therapy, where a combination of injected drugs are stimulated by laser... view more... (2001-01-18)
The Irony of Harmony: Why positive interactions may sometimes be negative
History abounds with examples of dramatic social change occurring when a disadvantaged group finally stands up and says "Enough!". By recognizing their inequalities, members of disadvantaged groups can mobilize and attempt to bring about change. view more (2009-02-03)
Top ten contact dermatitis allergens identified in Mayo Clinic study
A new Mayo Clinic study reveals the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, a skin inflammation resulting in swollen, reddened and itchy skin due to direct contact with an allergen. view more (2006-03-06)
Coating copies microscopic biological surfaces
Someday, your car might have the metallic finish of some insects or the deep black of a butterfly's wing, and the reflectors might be patterned on the nanostructure of a fly's eyes. view more (2008-09-18)
Knobbly kneed ID
Forget LED thumb-pad identification devices, complex retinal laser scanning, or even computerized iris recognition, the way forward for biometric validation is a quick X-ray snapshot of a person's knees, according to a report published in the International Journal of Biometrics. view more (2009-03-26)
Physics World Digest: August 2002 edition
Physicists see eye to eye with opthamologists Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults - yet over half of us who have the disease do not realise that we are suffering from the condition. While the disease can be treated if caught soon enough, early diagnosis relies on regular screening programmes that can be expensive and... view more... (2002-08-01)
