Government dithering "compounds transport crisis", say leading academics
Academics and transport professionals at the Royal Geographical Society today will strongly criticise the government over its failure to deliver an integrated transport system for the UK. Meeting at the Royal Geographical Society's headquarters in London, a range of leading transport geographers,... view more (2001-09-19)

Overall Antarctic snowfall hasn't changed in 50 years
The most precise record of Antarctic snowfall ever generated shows there has been no real increase in precipitation over the southernmost continent in the past half-century, even though most computer models assessing global climate change call for an increase in Antarctic precipitation as... view more (2006-08-11)

Safety Device To Help Protect Toddlers From Danger
PARENTS or carers who want to protect adventurous children from wandering out of sight and into potential danger can soon use a security device which has been partly developed by a group of electronic experts at Staffordshire University. Crecheguard has been produced by Planescheme Ltd, a company... view more (2002-11-04)

Protecting patient privacy the new fashioned way
Protecting patient privacy has been recognized as the duty of health-care providers for about as long as doctors have seen patients. In 1996 that duty became a legal obligation when Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.   view more (2008-09-26)

Data fly like bees to blossoms
The future belongs to mobile data processing. But the bandwidth offered by Bluetooth & Co exceeds what many devices need and power consumption is also too high. A CMOS production line has been set up in Duisburg for the sparing wireless standard ZigBee. One characteristic of brave new... view more (2004-03-18)

Hot springs microbes hold key to dating sedimentary rocks, researchers say

NOAA and Louisiana scientists predict largest Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone' on record
NOAA-supported scientists from the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium and Louisiana State University are forecasting that the "dead zone" off the coast of Louisiana and Texas in the Gulf of Mexico this summer could be the largest on record.   view more (2008-07-16)

Research Fortnight 12 June issue: stories on research training, UK performance, electronic submissions, rail research, and animal experiments
Councils told research training status must rise Trained researchers should be seen as a standard output of research, in the same way as journal papers, according to a review carried out for the higher education funding councils. There should also be more coordination between sponsors of research... view more (2002-06-12)

Cycling more intelligently
Cycling is fun - if you can find the right tread. But those who tire themselves out quickly lose the desire to conquer the world on two wheels.   view more (2008-04-14)

Gearing up for the next generation of Europe's cars
More than 20 partners from all areas of the European car industry worked together in the EUREKA ITEA Cluster EAST-EEA project to develop a common software interface for electronic devices to be used in all cars from 2009. This will make the next generation of vehicles quicker to design and cheaper... view more (2005-03-29)

New property found in ancient mineral lodestone
Using the latest methods for nanofabrication, a team led by Rice University physicists has discovered a surprising new electronic property in one of the earliest-known and most-studied magnetic minerals on Earth -- lodestone, also known as magnetite.   view more (2007-12-18)

By using an electronic ultra-high-speed camera, researchers have characterized the explosive discharge of stinging jellyfish nematocytes and show that this event represents one of the fastest cellular processes in nature.   view more (2006-05-09)

Photonic Crystals in 3-D - The Physics Congress 2003
Telecoms systems contain an awkward mixture of optics and electronics. A purely optical system would permit the very high data rates needed by the Internet, but at the moment the switching and routing, as well as the "last mile" to the customer, still depend on slower electronic... view more (2003-03-17)

Carnegie Mellon scientists create PNA molecule with potential to build nanodevices
For the first time, a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon University has shown that the binding of metal ions can mediate the formation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplexes from single strands of PNA that are only partly complementary.   view more (2005-10-04)

Are tougher electronic components on the way?
Like modern day alchemists, materials scientists often turn unassuming substances into desirable ones. But instead of working metal into gold, they create strange new compounds that could make the electronic components of the future smaller, faster, and more durable.   view more (2006-03-09)
