Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform.... view more (2001-03-01)

Procedure To Help Parkinson's Disease Could Shed Light On Psychiatric Disorder
French authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how electrode stimulation of a specific part of the brain to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease could also help in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders. The psychiatric condition obsessive-compulsive... view more (2002-10-24)

Combating corrosion could aid industrial safety
A new technique to detect localised corrosion in steel and other metals could help industry avoid major repair bills. In some cases, it could even help prevent serious safety problems in industrial plants and other building structures. This technique differs from traditional methods as it is able... view more (2003-09-02)

Porphyrin electron-transfer reactions observed at the molecular level
Researchers at Temple University have observed and documented electron transfer reactions on an electrode surface at the single molecule level for the first time, a discovery which could have future relevance to areas such as molecular electronics, electrochemistry, biology, catalysis, information... view more (2007-08-03)

New technology will allow for flexible television and computer screens
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are the technology used in making light emitting fabrics used in cell phones and televisions.   view more (2006-05-12)

New Materials offer Solution to Energy Storage
A scientist from the University of St. Andrews will describe the results of more than fifteen years of research, to be published in the journal 'Nature' on 2 August, which could change the way we power battery driven devices in the future. Rechargeable lithium batteries have been a major... view more (2001-07-31)

Foggy road
What happens if fog comes on roads? First of all, visibility falls down, so the risk for a car accident increases, especially on highways. Scientists from Central Aerological Observatory have constructed a special electrostatic filter, which eliminates the fog at a distance up to 10 meters. The... view more (2002-10-18)

Active carbon supercondenser
CIDETEC has just completed the project, subsidised by the Basque Government and CEGASA, "The development of a active carbon supercondenser for high-tension applications", aimed at developing home-grown technology which would allow the construction of an active carbon-based, double-layer... view more (2003-03-03)

Towards zero training for brain-computer interfacing
While invasive electrode recordings in humans show long-term promise, non-invasive techniques can also provide effective brain-computer interfacing (BCI) and localization of motor activity in the brain for paralyzed patients with significantly reduced risks and costs as well as novel applications... view more (2008-08-13)

Special coating greatly improves solar cell performance
The energy from sunlight falling on only 9 percent of California's Mojave Desert could power all of the United States' electricity needs if the energy could be efficiently harvested, according to some estimates.   view more (2008-02-25)

ANALYTICA 2004: Trapping Smallest Bioparticles
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and the Norwegian NorChip AS have jointly developed a chip-based µ-concentrator. Suited for application in biomedical diagnostics, the dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip permits selective separation and concentration of polarisable bioparticles such as... view more (2004-05-10)

Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance... view more (2003-11-14)

New hybrid microscope probes nano-electronics
A new form of scanning microscopy that simultaneously reveals physical and electronic profiles of metal nanostructures has been demonstrated at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder.   view more (2006-10-30)

Research paves way for new composite materials
Northwestern University researchers have developed a process that promises to lead to the creation of a new class of composite materials - "graphene-based materials."   view more (2006-07-20)

Northwestern researchers develop bistable nanoswitch
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been under intense study by scientists all over the world for more than a decade and are being thought of as ideal building blocks for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).   view more (2006-10-16)
