Sculptured materials allow multiple channel plasmonic sensors
Sensors, communications devices and imaging equipment that use a prism and a special form of light -- a surface plasmon-polariton -- may incorporate multiple channels or redundant applications if manufacturers use sculptured thin films. view more (2009-11-11)
New Microwave Dielectric Resonator Materials for Wireless Communication - The Physics Congress 2003
A new group of ceramic materials could lead to more reliable and clearer microwave communication signals, according to engineers at South Bank University, London, speaking at the Institute of Physics Congress at Heriot-Watt University on Wednesday 26 March. view more (2003-03-17)
Nano changes rise to macro importance in a key electronics material
By combining the results of a number of powerful techniques for studying material structure at the nanoscale, a team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), working with colleagues in other federal labs and abroad, believe they have settled a long-standing debate over the source of the unique electronic... view more...

Digital mammography results in technologists' time savings but physician time loss
Digital mammography saves technologists' time, but increases physician time compared to film screen mammography, a new study shows. view more (2006-07-19)
Interpretation Time for Screening Digital Mammograms: Is it Efficient?
Digital mammograms take longer to interpret than film-screen mammograms, according to a study performed at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. view more (2009-01-07)
Rice develops first method to sort nanotubes by size
Rice University scientists have developed the first method for sorting semiconducting carbon nanotubes based on their size, a long-awaited development that could form the basis of a nanotube purification system capable of producing the necessary feedstocks for nano-circuits, therapeutic agents, next-generation power cables and more. view more (2006-06-26)
Obtaining high performance coatings through simple latex film simulations
In the formation of high performance coatings, it is known that the process whereby a film forms from a colloidal dispersion is a key step. view more (2005-11-28)
University horrifies film-goers
The University of Southampton is sending shivers down the spines of film-goers and lovers of vampires, zombies and serial killers in a major season of classic horror films at the National Film Theatre in London this autumn. view more (2004-11-11)
Designing new piezoelectric materials
Polymer-based piezoelectric materials are currently the object of great interest in the world of industry because they enable their use in new applications in sectors such as transport and aeronautics, amongst others. view more (2007-10-25)
Supporting the British 'B' Movie
This week sees The Times BFI British Film Festival get underway, and all eyes will be on the achievements of the UK film industry. But that's unlikely to include any attention to the low-budget supporting features, or 'B' movies that helped kick-start the careers of film legends like Sir John Mills and Sir Michael Caine. According to one... view more... (2004-10-08)
Power to the people
You`ve just settled in front of the TV to watch your favourite programme when the lights go out and the TV goes blank. Power cuts are annoying for anyone, but can be particularly costly for companies supplying power who suffer financial penalties if they fail to deliver. At the inaugural meeting of the Dielectrics Group of the Institute of Physics... view more... (2001-12-17)
Liquid crystal multilayer study promises improvements in manufacturing techniques for LCD's
In order to successfully fabricate a commercial Liquid Crystal Display, uniform orientation of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules is required. view more (2005-10-12)
Polymer electric storage, flexible and adaptable
The proliferation of solar, wind and even tidal electric generation and the rapid emergence of hybrid electric automobiles demands flexible and reliable methods of high-capacity electrical storage. Now a team of Penn State materials scientists is developing ferroelectric polymer-based capacitors that can deliver power more rapidly and are much... view more... (2008-08-20)
Sharper pictures for the dream factory
Computer-generated special effects are a staple of contemporary film production. Digital images introduce complications, however, once it comes to projecting them onto movie screens in high quality. The majority of projectors still work with standard 35 mm film, which means that digital image sequences must be transferred frame by frame onto... view more... (2002-11-14)
Media invite: Live performances and debates at `Sounding Out` - an international symposium on sound.
Journalists are invited to the first ever international symposium on sound being held at Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (July 11 - 13). The event will bring together film and radio professionals with academics to debate the role of sound in today`s media. The media may be particularly interested in... view more... (2002-07-09)
Cine film recorder wins technical award
Movies like "Harry Potter" were copied using a new technology that has itself recently become a Hollywood star: the ARRILASER Film Recorder. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has honored the technology with its Scientific and Technical Award. Computer-generated special effects are a staple of contemporary film production. Digital... view more... (2002-03-05)
