Diminishing dinosaur steps saved by laser and laptop
The Fumanya site, in the Bergueda region of central Catalonia, is so delicate that experts cannot get physically close enough to the tracks to examine them.   view more (2007-05-10)

SMART-1 uses new imaging technique in lunar orbit
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit.   view more (2005-12-27)

Penn physicists track the random walks of ellipsoids, test 'lost' theory of Brownian motion
Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ago when he first described rotational Brownian motion for spheres in water.   view more (2006-10-27)

World's First International Real-time Streaming of 4K Digital Cinema over Gigabit IP Optical Fiber Networks
Scientists from around the world meeting at iGrid 2005 in San Diego were treated to the world's first real-time, international transmission of super high-definition (SHD) 4K digital video. 4K images have roughly 4,000 horizontal pixels - offering approximately four times the resolution of the most widely-used HD television format, and 24 times... view more...

Rome was built in a day, with hundreds of thousands of digital photos
The ancient city of Rome was not built in a day. It took nearly a decade to build the Colosseum, and almost a century to construct St. Peter's Basilica. But now the city, including these landmarks, can be digitized in just a matter of hours.   view more (2009-09-16)

Evidence of flooding at Mangala Valles
These images of fluvial surface features at Mangala Valles on Mars were obtained by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the ESA Mars Express spacecraft. The HRSC has imaged structures several times which are related to fluvial events in the past on Mars. The region seen here is situated on the south-western Tharsis bulge and shows... view more...

Fake video dramatically alters eyewitness accounts
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that fake video evidence can dramatically alter people's perceptions of events, even convincing them to testify as an eyewitness to an event that never happened.    view more (2009-09-14)

Digital cameras, remote satellites measure crop water demand
Horticultural crops account for almost 50% of crop sales in the United States, and these crops are carefully managed to ensure good quality.   view more (2008-07-21)

Seeing through tooth decay
Dental caries afflict at least 90% of the world's population at some time in their lives. Detecting the first signs of this disease, which can be lethal in extreme cases, just got easier thanks to work by researchers in India discussed in the latest issue of the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology.   view more (2008-08-25)

Nullarbor fireball cameras find rare meteorite
Using cameras which capture fireballs streaking across the night sky and sophisticated mathematics, a world-wide team of scientists have managed to find not only a tiny meteorite on the vast Nullarbor Plain, but also its orbit and the asteroid it came from.   view more (2009-09-18)

Lords Report on EU e-Commerce Policy Development and Co-ordination
An all-party House of Lords Report published today looks at e-commerce and how policy in the UK and in the European Union towards e-commerce has developed. The Report also examines co-ordination at UK Government and EU institutional level. The Report takes a broad look at the impact of e-commerce in the UK, with special regard to activities in the... view more... (2000-07-28)

Carnegie Mellon researchers create new scanning system
Indiana Jones, step aside. Carnegie Mellon University's Yang Cai is developing new technology that could revolutionize the way archeologists work.   view more (2007-10-01)

Small, low-noise oscillator may help in surveillance
A new design for a microwave oscillator that is smaller, simpler, and produces clearer signals at a single frequency than comparable devices has been invented at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2006-09-18)

New Speed Record for Magnetic Memories
Fast memory chips such as DRAMs and SRAMs (Dynamic and Static Random Access Memory) commonly used today have one decisive disadvantage: in case of power interruption, they lose their stored information.   view more (2008-08-19)

University of Western Ontario cameras capture 'fireball'
For the second time this year, The University of Western Ontario Meteor Group has captured incredibly rare video footage of a meteor falling to Earth. The team of astronomers suspects the fireball dropped meteorites in a region north of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, that may total as much as a few hundred grams in mass.   view more (2008-10-27)

Opto-electronic nose sniffs out toxic gases
Imagine a polka-dotted postage stamp that can sniff out poisonous gases or deadly toxins simply by changing colors.   view more (2009-09-14)

Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)

New technique that scrambles light may lead to sharper images, wider views
When photographers zoom in on an object to see it better, they lose the wide-angle perspective -- they are forced to trade off "big picture" context for detail. But now an imaging method developed by Princeton researchers could lead to lenses that show all parts of the scene at once in the same high detail. The new method could help... view more...

Messenger peeks at Earth
NASA's Mercury-bound MESSENGER spacecraft - less than three months from an Earth flyby that will slingshot it toward the inner solar system - successfully tested its main camera by snapping distant approach shots of Earth and the Moon.   view more (2005-05-31)

RIT scientist fine-tunes Hubble Space Telescope
A scientist at Rochester Institute of Technology has expanded the Hubble Space Telescope's capability without the need for new instruments or billions of dollars.   view more (2009-03-26)
