Overcoming the problems of performance league tables
NHS performance league tables are misleading and should be replaced by a more user friendly method of assessing health service performance, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
New mobile phone functions fit into a smaller space than before
Even a conventional mobile phone user demands more functions and better performance of his mobile phone in the smallest possible space. The mobile phone should also be easy to use, reliable and inexpensive. In order to meet these demands, more data and functions than before must be packed into the circuit boards of mobile phones in the future. The... view more... (2002-04-05)
Watching the radio
The days are over when all that radio listeners could expect were words and music. At the International Audio and Video Fair (IFA) in Berlin, researchers from the Applied Electronics Department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS presented multimedia radio. It is able to transmit small-sized moving pictures as well as sound.... view more... (1999-09-03)
Stanford study of owls finds link in brain between sight and sound
Just imagine listening to someone talk and also hearing the buzz of the overhead lights, the hum of your computer and the muffled conversation down the hallway. view more (2006-01-19)
Best antenatal screening: study results
A study of about 50,000 pregnant women has shown that the integrated test for Down's syndrome offers a "significantly higher" level of safety than the screening available to most women in the UK. The study, which will be reported in the June Journal of Medical Screening, was carried out by Professor Nicholas Wald and colleagues at the... view more... (2003-06-02)
Quantum Device Traps, Detects and Manipulates the Spin of Single Electrons
A novel device, developed by a team led by University at Buffalo engineers, simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward spintronics and spin-based quantum computing. view more (2007-09-28)
Car tyres monitor their own pressure
Whether inserted in the cover of a book or moulded in a car key, transponders prefer to lead an inconspicuous life. It's only when the retail store theft alarm screams or when an automobile anti-theft system prevents a car from being stolen that their active presence is noticed. But strictly speaking, the tiny electronic circuits are always... view more... (2003-07-01)
Repeatable low-breakdown voltage antifuses enabled through a Sandia-developed dielectric thin film
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed an inexpensive, reliable and easy-to-manufacture class of dielectric films that have the capability of enabling programmable antifuses on integrated circuits (IC) at less cost and using easier-to-manufacture methods. view more (2006-05-16)
Study suggests human visual system could make powerful computer
Since the idea of using DNA to create faster, smaller, and more powerful computers originated in 1994, scientists have been scrambling to develop successful ways to use genetic code for computation. view more (2008-07-24)
Engineers demonstrate a new type of optical tweezer
Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) demonstrated a new type of optical tweezer with the potential to make biological and microfluidic force measurements in integrated systems such as microfluidic chips. view more (2008-02-26)
Unique locks on microchips could reduce hardware piracy
Hardware piracy, or making knock-off microchips based on stolen blueprints, is a burgeoning problem in the electronics industry. view more (2008-03-06)
new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded. view more (2005-09-13)
Radio Frequency tagging for preventing theft and tracking stocks
Tagging individual items with barely noticeable disposable electronic circuits that can be detected with a radio wave scanner is becoming increasingly common, with over 4 billion circuits sold last year. There are many applications where tags are currently in use. Manufacturers and distributors use hand-held radio frequency tagging to track stock,... view more... (2003-06-03)
Move over, silicon: Advances pave way for powerful carbon-based electronics
Bypassing decades-old conventions in making computer chips, Princeton engineers developed a novel way to replace silicon with carbon on large surfaces, clearing the way for new generations of faster, more powerful cell phones, computers and other electronics. view more (2007-12-19)
Aircraft noise associated with children's school performance in maths and reading
Aircraft noise seems to affect children's school performance in maths and reading, but social and economic factors also play their part. Research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health examined the National Standardised Scores (SATs) of around 11,000 primary schoolchildren coming up to the age of 11. The SATs test maths,... view more... (2002-01-15)
Getting wired for terahertz computing
University of Utah engineers took an early step toward building superfast computers that run on far-infrared light instead of electricity: They made the equivalent of wires that carried and bent this form of light, also known as terahertz radiation, which is the last unexploited portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. view more (2008-04-15)
Presented in Stanford mAgic VLIW: a revolutionary processor at disposal of the environment intelligence
On August 18th and 19th in Stanford, California, at Hot Chips 15 conference, the most important international event on processors architecture, mAgic VLIW will be presented: it is a revolutionary electronic component derived by technologies developed by Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (Infn) in the context of the special project Ape... view more...

MIT material puts new spin on electronics
Researchers at MIT's Francis Bitter Magnet Lab have developed a novel magnetic semiconductor that may greatly increase the computing power and flexibility of future electronic devices while dramatically reducing their power consumption. view more (2006-05-25)
Going to bed late may affect the health, academic performance of college students
College students who go to bed late are more likely to have poor quality sleep, which may affect their mental health and academic performance. view more (2007-06-13)
Unlocking mystery of why dopamine freezes Parkinson's patients
Parkinson's disease and drug addiction are polar opposite diseases, but both depend upon dopamine in the brain. Parkinson's patients don't have enough of it; drug addicts get too much of it. Although the importance of dopamine in these disorders has been well known, the way it works has been a mystery. view more (2008-08-11)
