Young people who are... view more... (2002-04-05)
Detecting substances with swinging mirrors
As we know from the familiar sight of a rainbow, a spectrum always has a specific width between violet and red. As the spectrum fans out, in chemical analysis the light or radiation intensity must be measured at various points. One means to achieve this is by using a turning diffraction grid that works like a prism. The spectrum is then... view more... (2003-05-22)
Robotic clam digs in mudflats
To design a lightweight anchor that can dig itself in to hold small underwater submersibles, Anette (Peko) Hosoi of MIT borrowed techniques from one of nature's best diggers -- the razor clam. view more (2009-11-23)

New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. view more (2006-09-25)
GM Crops Shown to Decrease Damage to Environment
The increase in cultivation of herbicide-resistant GM Canola (also known as rapeseed) in Canada has led to a significant decrease in herbicide use, says research published in the journal Pest Management Science. This has led to a decrease in the environmental impact of weed control and could have similar effects elsewhere in the world. view more (2004-10-20)
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)
Ume'å physiologists describe a new principle for information coding in the nervous system
How does the nervous system code, transmit, and process the information that steers our behaviour? Ronald S. Johansson's research team at Ume'å University in Sweden is now publishing its discovery of a new principle for this. The prevailing view is that information is coded and transmitted by variations in the number of nerve impulses per... view more... (2004-01-20)
Top Kingston talent set to dazzle at design show
Kingston University design students have been putting the finishing touches to their final-year projects in the build-up to the 2003 Degree Show. The show will run from Tuesday 17 June to Saturday 21 June at the University's Faculty of Art, Design and Music's Knights Park campus.

Research casts doubt on controversial scientific theory
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have cast doubt on the validity of the controversial theory of biological cold fusion, the principle sometimes used to lend credence to the practice of selling silicon tablets to strengthen bones, on the assumption that the body will turn the silicon into calcium. view more (2003-05-07)
New Approach to Structural Safety in Codes and Regulations
The new approach for codifying the design of structures may readily be implemented into the daily business of design of new structures such as housing, industrial buildings, bridges, dams and power plants. However, experts agree that one of the most obvious first applications will be in connection with the forthcoming adoption of the Eurocodes by... view more... (2002-08-21)
Pack your own sink on holiday!
The design of a soap container that folds out into a washing bowl has earned a Northumbria University student a top prize in a national competition. Emma McHardy, 23, who is in her final year of study on the Design for Industry course, earned a £1,000 travel award for her design in the RSA awards scheme. Made from an environment-friendly,... view more... (2003-05-15)

Earth not center of the universe, surrounded by 'dark energy': UBC cosmologists
Earth's location in the Universe is utterly unremarkable, despite recent theories that propose toppling a foundation of modern cosmology, according to a team of University of British Columbia researchers. view more (2008-12-19)
The next generation of computers will be timeless
Time is running out for the clocks that make our computers tick. Scientists have developed a new generation of hardware and software based on the simpler designs of the 1950s. Asynchronous, or clock-free systems, promise extra speed, safety, security and miniaturisation. The new designs work well in the laboratory and are only awaiting the... view more... (2002-04-05)
Scientific design of GM farm-scale evaluations made public
The 40th anniversary issue of the British Ecology Society's Journal of Applied Ecology this month leads with two major papers describing the background, methodology and experimental design of the farm-scale evaluations of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops. In laying out the statistical design and methods of data collection for the... view more... (2003-02-07)
Oxygen Is The New Water! Personal Oxygen Suppliers Will Take Over From Bottled Mineral Water
In ten years time instead of bottles of water we could all be walking around carrying personal supplies of oxygen for a quick energy boost according to a student at Nottingham Trent University. Recent Furniture and Product Design graduate Lisa Clarke came up with the ingenious idea whilst working towards her final degree project. She believes that... view more... (2002-07-08)
