Electronic tongue detects mold
Not only can an electronic tongue monitor the prevalence and growth of microorganisms, it can also sense the difference between various forms of fungi and bacteria. This is shown in a dissertation by Charlotte Söderström submitted at Linköping University. An objective of the project... view more (2003-05-20)

Room temperature superconductivity
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have for the first time identified a key component to unravelling the mystery of room temperature superconductivity, according to a paper published in today's edition of the scientific journal Nature.   view more (2008-07-10)

Growing whiskers that won`t need shaving
As manufacturers try to incorporate more and more functions into electronic gadgets like mobile phones and laptop computers, and at the same time decrease their size, the need for smaller electronic circuit components increases. At the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors... view more (2002-07-23)

Geisinger study: Use of digital health records improve health of the elderly
Use of medications that are linked to increased risk of falls in the elderly can be reduced through careful review of patient files in the Electronic Health Record, new Geisinger research shows.   view more (2008-04-08)

Carbon creation offers cool solution to thermal management
A carbon-based material developed at the University of Leeds could provide a solution to the growing problems of thermal management encountered in electrical and electronic industries.

Electronic tongue tastes wine variety, vintage
You don't need a wine expert to identify a '74 Pinot Noir from Burgundy - a handheld "electronic tongue" devised by European scientists will tell you the grape variety and vintage at the press of a button.   view more (2008-08-04)

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)

Wireless data transfer to aid newspaper carriers
Every night 2.1 million newspapers are delivered to mailboxes in Finland. In order to make the delivery even more effortless, wireless data transfer will be harnessed to aid newspaper carriers. In the three-year TLX technology programme recently completed by Tekes, the Technical Research Centre of... view more (2002-04-10)

New challenge for producers of refrigerators
The European Union has introduced a directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The directive makes producers responsible for the recycling of the electrical and electronic equipment that they put on the market. The results from a study of refrigerators made by CIT Elektronik,... view more (2003-11-26)
