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)

Nanosecond-scale release of stinging jellyfish nematocysts
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)

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)

True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties... view more (2008-08-18)

Voice-controlled electronics
Not only older and disabled people have trouble coping with the blessings of modern information technology. A lot of users have at some point ultimately faced exasperation in trying to understand printed user instructions for computers or answering machines, although the situation has meanwhile... view more (2002-09-20)

Scientists Create the First Synthetic Nanoscale Fractal Molecule
From snowflakes to the leaves on a tree, objects in nature are made of irregular molecules called fractals. Scientists now have created and captured an image of the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale.   view more (2006-05-12)

Smell of success for nanobiosensors
Modern-day doctors may soon start using smell to detect the early warning signs of different illnesses thanks to technology that replicates-and improves upon-the human olfactory system thanks to tiny bioelectronic sensors.   view more (2006-05-15)

Frozen lightning: NIST's new nanoelectronic switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a prototype nanoscale electronic switch that works like lightning—except for the speed.   view more (2007-03-05)

Cows as unravellers
Long-term conservation of biodiversity may depend not only on the maintenance of its component parts but also on their interactions. Human-aided species introductions stand out as a major anthropogenic modification of ecological systems, and there is increasing concern that such introductions can... view more (2003-11-24)

Family structure size could affect breast cancer risk prediction accuracy for BRCA gene testing
Researchers have found that the probability of the breast cancer gene mutation BRCA among women with a history of breast cancer is greater when the number of older, female relatives in the family is smaller.   view more (2007-06-20)

The game of darts grows up
Why should throwing pointed darts at a target board be solely a bar amusement? Unlike cricket, one of the other national sports in Britain, darts has long since established itself on the continent: It was introduced to Germany in the 1970’s by stationed British soldiers. As it became more... view more (2002-09-09)

Tachographs for diving animals
Seals, sea lions and penguins have two things in common with whales and dolphins: They are all ocean swimmers and evoke human sympathy - not only from children. Especially when whales become stranded or seals fall victim to an epidemic, some of us ask: How did this happen? Could this be prevented... view more (2002-12-20)

Stanford researchers hear the sound of quantum drums
Forty years ago, mathematician Mark Kac asked the theoretical question, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?"   view more (2008-02-11)

New Materials for Making "Spintronic" Devices
An interdisciplinary group of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has devised methods to make a new class of electronic devices based on a property of electrons known as "spin," rather than merely their electric charge.   view more (2007-04-26)

New EMBO/NPG journal - A first in systems biology publishing

Crystal structure enables tailoring of pharmaceuticals against asthma
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to elucidate the crystal structure of a human membrane protein - LTC4 synthase - which has a major influence on the development of asthma.   view more (2007-07-17)

New theory explains electronic and thermal behavior of nanotubes
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have made an important theoretical breakthrough in the understanding of energy dissipation and thermal breakdown in metallic carbon nanotubes.   view more (2006-01-20)

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)

Computerized doctors' orders reduce medication errors
Doctors are famous for sloppy scribbling - and handwritten prescriptions lead to thousands of medication errors each year. Electronics to the rescue: U.S. hospitals that switched to computerized physician order entry systems saw a 66 percent drop in prescription errors, according to a new review of... view more (2007-06-28)

Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET.
