Safety of combat military vehicles examined
A Queen's University Belfast academic is working on research that could help protect the lives of military based in Afghanistan. view more (2009-07-30)
Deep subsurface research to help understand earthquakes
From 8 to 20 October, TU Delft, "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam" and The University of Utrecht will be conducting an experiment in the south of the Netherlands. The experiment is to find out how the deep subsurface (about 25 to 30 km under the surface) can be profiled with sound waves. It is the first time that Dutch subsurface will be... view more...

Chemists explain the switchboards in our cells
Our cells are controlled by billions of molecular "switches" and chemists at UC Santa Barbara have developed a theory that explains how these molecules work. view more (2009-08-04)
Suicide bomber sensors would not reduce casualties
Sensors to detect suicide bombers before they can reach a target and detonate explosives would not substantially reduce deaths and injuries in urban settings, Yale researchers report in the July early edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2005-07-05)
T-rays: New imaging technology spotlighted by American Chemical Society
T-ray sensing and imaging technology, which can spot cracks in space shuttle foam, see biological agents through a sealed envelope and detect tumors without harmful radiation, was the focus of a recent symposium at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society. view more (2005-12-07)
Sophisticated drugs detection
Police and customs around the world spend over $250 million a year on drug detection equipment. Despite efforts to develop new technologies, more than half of this money goes to one of the oldest drug detection systems in the world - the sniffer dog. view more (2003-01-16)
A 'Bionic Nose' That Knows
Both cancer cells and the chemicals used to make bombs can foil detection because they appear in trace amounts too small for conventional detection techniques. Tel Aviv University has developed the ultimate solution: a molecule that can magnify weak traces of "hidden" molecules into something we can detect and see. view more (2009-03-31)
Bridge strengthening research
These days, a drive across a bridge is not always a pleasure cruise. Mindful of the war on terrorism, it can often be a cautious experience. view more (2007-09-17)
0.2 second test for explosive liquids
Since a failed terrorist attack in 2006, plane passengers have not been able to carry bottles of liquid through security at airports, leaving some parched at the airport and others having expensive toiletries confiscated, but work by a group of physicists in Germany is paving the way to eliminate this necessary nuisance. view more (2009-10-21)
Powerful radiation source to further cancer research
Plans to construct Europe's most intense terahertz (THz) radiation source to further development of cancer research are underway at the University of Liverpool. view more (2006-07-12)
Diode laser could be vital for safeguarding aircraft
Terrorists can strike anywhere, at any time, and aircraft, both military and civilian, are targets for heat-seeking missiles, one of many tactics in use by groups hostile to the United States. view more (2006-09-01)
NYU, Austrian researchers create non-invasive imaging method with advantages over conventional MRI
New York University's Alexej Jerschow, an assistant professor of chemistry, and Norbert Müller, a professor of chemistry at the University of Linz in Austria, have developed a completely non-invasive imaging method. view more (2006-04-25)
Laser sets records in power and energy efficiency
The rise in global terrorism in recent years has brought significant attention to the needs for more advanced sensors and defense technologies to protect civilians and soldiers. view more (2007-07-24)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. view more (2007-08-21)
Reforms to Licensed Gun Dealer Sales Practices Reduce Supply of New Guns to Criminals
Reforms to the sales practices of a licensed gun store-which prior to May 1999, sold more than half of the guns recovered from criminals in Milwaukee-resulted in a 44 percent decrease in the flow of new guns to criminals in the city. view more (2006-09-28)
Safer, denser acetylene storage in an organic framework
The century-old challenge of transporting acetylene may have been solved in principle by a team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2009-08-27)
Breath or Urine Analysis May Detect Cancer, Diabetes
A future sensor may take away a patient's breath while simultaneously determining whether the patient has breast cancer, lung cancer, diabetes or asthma. A University of Missouri researcher is developing a device that will analyze breath or urine samples for volatile markers inside the body that indicate disease. view more (2009-03-11)
Brewing a blast-less fertilizer
Down in the green, rolling hills and farmlands around Lexington, Kentucky, Darrell Taulbee can be found mixing up a batch of his homegrown fertilizer. But he's not looking to grow a better Big Boy or distill a smoother bourbon, he tells us. view more (2007-09-06)
NASA MidSTAR-1 Successful Technologies May Be Revolutionary
Two new technologies launched onboard a U.S. Naval Academy satellite called MidSTAR-1 have proven successful in their tests in space. One technology is a sensor that can check for harmful chemicals and the other is a special "film" that can control heat. view more (2008-02-20)
Ka-Boom!!!
Cheap, lightweight cameras could help protect mass transit, but would they survive a big costly blast? view more (2009-03-10)
