New technique improves outcome for living donor liver transplants
The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) is one of only a few centers in Canada that perform living donor liver transplantation, a surgical procedure developed in the late 1980s that expands the organ donor pool. About 80 liver transplants are done a year in Alberta, 10 of those being living-donor. view more (2008-03-19)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
Classifying 'clicks'
A new way to classify sounds in some human languages may solve a problem that has plagued linguists for nearly 100 years--how to accurately describe click sounds distinct to certain African languages. view more (2009-07-16)
The physics of muck spreading
Physicists have to tread carefully when it comes to fertiliser, but the first tentative steps to a better understanding of the ancient art of fertilising the soil are described in a paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication, The Journal of Measurement Science and Technology. Frederic Cointault, Philippe Sarrazin and Michel... view more... (2002-06-18)
More economical and easier to install wind generator: the wind reservoir
Two Basque companies, Enerlim and NECESA, have developed a new wind generator, a wind reservoir to make use of wind energy. This wind reservoir is much lighter than ordinary three-arm wind generators; hence, it is more economical and easier to install. On the other side, the machine is completely modular, as columns, pulleys and plates can be... view more... (2002-03-25)
High visibility speed cameras may increase road deaths
Government plans to increase the visibility of speed cameras and ban dummy warning signs on roads where there are no cameras may increase deaths and injuries on the road, according to a letter in this week’s BMJ. Speed cameras will now be painted yellow and must be visible from a distance of up to 100m. Police forces will also be forbidden... view more... (2002-05-07)
World's fastest camera relies on an entirely new type of imaging
Ultrafast, light-sensitive video cameras are needed for observing high-speed events such as shockwaves, communication between living cells, neural activity, laser surgery and elements of blood analysis. view more (2009-04-30)
SMART-1 uses new imaging technique in lunar orbit
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit. view more (2005-12-27)
LIDAR Imaging Detector Could Build 'Super Road Maps' of Planets and Moons
Technology that could someday "MapQuest" Mars and other bodies in the solar system is under development at Rochester Institute of Technology's Rochester Imaging Detector Laboratory (RIDL), in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. view more (2008-05-16)
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)
New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobiles
Standard microscopy and visible light imaging techniques cannot peer into the dark and murky centers of dense-liquid jets, which has hindered scientists in their quest for a full understanding of liquid breakup in devices such as automobile fuel injectors. view more (2008-02-25)
Mayo Clinic and IBM score significant advance in real-time medical imaging
Collaborators from Mayo Clinic and IBM have exploited parallel computer architecture and memory bandwidth to dramatically speed the processing of 3-D medical images. view more (2007-04-10)
Researchers use novel three-dimensional imaging technique
Using an innovative three-dimensional imaging technique, a team of UCLA researchers have tracked how Alzheimer's disease spreads through the hippocampus - the area of the brain linked with memory - in a pattern consistent with the known trajectory of neurofibrilliary tangle dissemination, an accumulation of diseased proteins in the brain cells. view more (2006-10-26)
Imaging technique sheds new light on the composition of the brain of moderate cannabis users
Diffusion tensor imaging, a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging technique, could enable researchers to gain a better understanding of the effects of cannabis on the brain. view more (2006-05-08)
Imaging study links key genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease to myelin breakdown
A new UCLA imaging study shows that age-related breakdown of myelin, the fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, correlates strongly with the presence of a key genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease. view more (2006-01-03)
Questions over accuracy of MRI in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
The accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not sufficient to rule in or rule out a diagnosis of MS with a high degree of certainty, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-24)
New imaging technique could promote early detection of multiple sclerosis
Researchers from Purdue University have studied and recorded how myelin degrades real-time in live mice using a new imaging technique. Myelin is the fatty sheath coating the axons, or nerve cells, that insulate and aid in efficient nerve fiber conduction. In diseases such as multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath has been found to degrade. view more (2007-06-28)
Protein shines light on cancer response
A technique that specifically "tags" tumors responding to chemotherapy may offer a new strategy for determining a cancer treatment's effectiveness within days of starting treatment, according to a new study by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators. view more (2008-02-25)
Code for unbreakable quantum encryption generated at record speed over fiber
Raw code for 'unbreakable' encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-04-19)
First acoustic metamaterial 'superlens' created by U. of I. researchers
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has created the world's first acoustic "superlens," an innovation that could have practical implications for high-resolution ultrasound imaging, non-destructive structural testing of buildings and bridges, and novel underwater stealth technology. view more (2009-06-25)
