Learning disabilities associated with language problems later in life
Individuals with a neurodegenerative condition affecting language appear more likely to have had a history of learning disabilities than those with other types of dementia or with no cognitive problems, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more (2008-02-12)

System to analyze beating heart stem cells could lead to heart attack treatments
New research at the University of Nottingham, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), is paving the way for techniques that use stem cells to repair the damage caused by heart attacks.   view more (2007-07-30)

Experts Warn That Automotive Industry About to Suffer Massive Electric Shock
A fundamental change facing the automotive industry is the move from the current 12/14-Volt electrical standard to the new 36/42-Volt standard, which will be gradually introduced into the marketplace starting in 2003. This represents a threat and an opportunity to suppliers of automotive... view more (2002-11-04)

Sensor of plastic can be produced in a printing press
Electrochemical transistors made of plastic open myriad possibilities. Since both electrons and ions are active, they can function as a bridge between traditional electronics and biological systems. A new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden describes a simple and inexpensive... view more (2005-02-08)

English Heritage Signs up to the Common Information Environment
The vision of an online environment in which all citizens of the UK can access high-quality information freely and easily was given a considerable boost today. English Heritage signed up to the principles of the Common Information Environment Group, a group of key public sector organisations... view more (2004-12-13)

Marijuana use on the rise among Ontario adults, CAMH reports
While this CAMH Monitor eReport reveals some promising substance use trends among Ontario adults, its revelation of a substantial increase in cannabis use raises a significant public health flag.   view more (2008-04-15)

What are the benefits and risks of fitting patients with radiofrequency identification devices?
In 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a radiofrequency identification (RFID) device that is implanted under the skin of the upper arm of patients and that stores the patient's medical identifier. A debate in this week's PLoS Medicine discusses the pros and cons of... view more (2007-11-27)

Electronic chip, interacting with the brain, modifies pathways for controlling movement
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) are working on an implantable electronic chip that may help establish new nerve connections in the part of the brain that controls movement.   view more (2006-10-25)

Identifying medical proxy should be part of routine medical care
One-third of married individuals choose someone other than their spouse as a surrogate for medical decision-making. And more often than not, when adult patients chose a parent, sibling or child, they prefer their mothers, sisters and daughters to serve as medical proxies over their fathers,... view more (2006-07-27)

Fossil wood gives vital clues to ancient climates
New research into a missing link in climatology shows that the Earth was not overcome by a greenhouse period when dinosaurs dominated, but experienced rapid fluctuations in temperature and sea level change that resulted in a balance of the global carbon cycle.   view more (2006-02-24)

Creating intelligent environments
Ambient intelligence is likely to be a novel concept for many but perhaps others will link it to advances in IC technologies. In fact, ambient intelligence wishes to create active environments capable of adapting at all times to the needs of the end-user. To achieve this aim, techniques based on... view more (2003-05-14)

Snomipede races to solve the mysteries of life
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the Universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow has been awarded a £3m research grant to develop a new nanotechnology tool which they have called the 'Snomipede'. The team, led by Professor Graham Leggett at the University of... view more (2005-02-15)

Stable silicon layer makes flat-panel display cheaper
In a joint project between the Technology Foundation STW and the energy agency Novem at Utrecht University, researchers have developed new silicon layers which are more stable and cheaper than the present amorphous silicon layers. The electronic properties of the present layers in laptop screens... view more (2002-03-18)

'Electronic gridlock' that blocks higher temperature cuprate superconductors is imaged by Cornell researchers
Superconductivity — the conduction of electricity with zero resistance — sometimes can, it seems, become stalled by a form of electronic "gridlock."   view more (2007-03-06)

Study shows largest North America climate change in 65 million years
The largest climate change in central North America since the age of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, a temperature drop of nearly 15 degrees Fahrenheit, is documented within the fossilized teeth of horses and other plant-eating mammals, a new study reveals.   view more (2007-02-08)

Chemistry of a cuppa: Helping to digitize the laboratories of tomorrow
