Auger Observatory links highest-energy cosmic rays with violent black holes
Scientists of the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which includes New York University Physics Professor Glennys R. Farrar, have concluded that active galactic nuclei are the most likely candidate for the source of the highest-energy cosmic rays that hit Earth. view more (2007-11-09)
New robot scouts best locations for components of undersea lab
Like a deep-sea bloodhound, Sentry - the newest in an elite group of unmanned submersibles able to operate on their own in demanding and rugged environments - has helped scientists pinpoint optimal locations for two observation sites of a pioneering seafloor laboratory being planned off Washington and Oregon. view more (2008-08-14)
Robot plumbs Wisconsin lake on way to Antarctica, jovian moon
A University of Illinois at Chicago scientist will lead a team testing a robotic probe in a polar-style, under-ice exploration that may have out-of-this world applications. view more (2008-02-12)
New robot travels across the seafloor to monitor the impact of climate change on deep-sea ecosystems
Like the robotic rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which wheeled tirelessly across the dusty surface of Mars, a new robot spent most of July traveling across the muddy ocean bottom, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) off the California coast. view more (2009-09-10)
Nature's secrets yield new adhesive material
Scientists report they have merged two of nature's most elegant strategies for wet and dry adhesion to produce a synthetic material that one day could lead to more durable and longer-lasting bandages, patches, and surgical materials. view more (2007-07-19)
Novel polymer delivers genetic medicine, allows tracking
Theresa M. Reineke, associate professor of chemistry in the College of Science, and colleagues in her lab at Virginia Tech and at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new molecule that can travel into cells, deliver genetic cargo, and packs a beacon so scientists can follow its movements in living systems. view more (2009-10-07)
Scientists unlock clues for tailoring corn plant for food, energy needs
Scientists have long known that the offspring of two inbred strains tend to be superior to both their parents. Now, a team of researchers including a University of Florida geneticist has discovered clues to why that might be the case for one of the most important crops in the world: corn. view more (2009-11-20)
Reviving American chestnuts may mitigate climate change
A Purdue University study shows that introducing a new hybrid of the American chestnut tree would not only bring back the all-but-extinct species, but also put a dent in the amount of carbon in the Earth's atmosphere. view more (2009-06-11)
Nanowire arrays can detect signals along individual neurons
Opening a whole new interface between nanotechnology and neuroscience, scientists at Harvard University have used slender silicon nanowires to detect, stimulate, and inhibit nerve signals along the axons and dendrites of live mammalian neurons. view more (2006-08-25)
Training mechanics online
Internet-based distance learning courses and assessment tests have thousands of devotees in the UK and elsewhere. E-learning is perfect for students of previously 'paper-based' disciplines such as modern languages or accountancy. But subjects with a more practical side have proved trickier to stage and assess by remote tutors. The CLEMS project... view more... (2003-08-12)
Mobile laboratory "sniffs" traffic pollutants
A new mobile laboratory makes it possible to study traffic pollutants in actual traffic conditions. The mobile laboratory, which can be used to measure exhaust gases both on roads and in tunnels as well as in underground sites, can shed new light on the amount and size distribution of exhaust gases. Fine particles in exhaust gasses are being... view more... (2003-06-02)
ESA awards the first Aurora mission design contracts
A major milestone in ESA's long-term Aurora programme of Solar System exploration has been passed with the announcement ofthe winners of competitive contracts for two of the programme's key robotic missions - ExoMars and Earth re-entry Vehicle Demonstrator (EVD). A major milestone in ESA's long-term Aurora programme of Solar System exploration... view more... (2003-09-29)
Increasing residential and employment density could mean reductions in vehicle travel, fuel use and CO2 emissions
Increasing population and employment density in metropolitan areas could reduce vehicle travel, energy use, and CO2 emissions from less than 1 percent up to 11 percent by 2050 compared to a base case for household vehicle usage. view more (2009-09-01)
Study: Higher interstate speed limit proves safe for Indiana
Researchers at Purdue University have determined that raising the speed limit from 65 to 70 on Interstate 65 in Indiana has not increased the probability of fatalities or severe injuries. view more (2008-06-24)
Researchers use MRI to predict recovery after spinal cord injury
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists can better predict the likelihood of full or partial recovery of patients with acute spinal cord injuries (SCI). view more (2007-05-29)
Zinc oxide gives green shine to new photoconductors
Photodetectors -- devices found in cell phones, digital cameras and other consumer gadgets that utilize photoconducting materials -- are a green technology in performance (converting light into electricity), but the manufacture of very powerful photodetectors needs to be improved before they can qualify for solid green status. view more (2009-03-19)
Cars supply the latest traffic news
It's the same frustrating routine on the way to work every day: The radio announcer reports "stop-and-go traffic". And once again, detours are the only way to get to the office on time. Information generated by typical traffic reporting services, such as SMS-based systems, lag behind actual road conditions because they depend primarily... view more... (2003-05-22)
Automated tailgating cuts pollution
An automated way of allowing cars to drive much closer to each other in heavy moving traffic, so-called platooning, could cut congestion, save fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published today in Inderscience's International Journal of the Environment and Pollution. view more (2007-07-12)
Facile synthesis of nanoparticles with multiple functions advanced in Singapore
Nanostructured materials have garnered great interest worldwide due to their unique size-dependent properties for chemical, electronic, structural, medical and consumer applications. view more (2009-07-14)
Cell splits water via sunlight to produce hydrogen
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a unique photocatalytic cell that splits water to produce hydrogen and oxygen in water using sunlight and the power of a nanostructured catalyst. view more (2007-05-03)
