Brain-computer link allows paralyzed patient to manipulate devices by thought
A patient with a spinal cord injury was able to produce brain signals associated with intending to move his paralyzed limbs, signals picked up by an implanted sensor and translated into electronic impulses that allowed him to control a computer cursor and manipulate mechanical devices. view more (2006-07-13)
Reconstructing mandibular defects with bioengineered tooth and bone
Current strategies for jaw reconstruction require multiple procedures, first to repair the bone defect to offer sufficient support, and then to place the tooth implant. view more (2008-04-07)
Implantable device offers continuous cancer monitoring
Surgical removal of a tissue sample is now the standard for diagnosing cancer. Such procedures, known as biopsies, are accurate but only offer a snapshot of the tumor at a single moment in time. view more (2009-05-14)
Cranfield Collaborator Receives Multi Million Dollar Financing
Cranfield University has been at the forefront of diabetes diagnostics for over twenty years and created the current generation of home blood glucose testing devices used throughout the world. More recently, the University has been working with Pelikan Technologies in Palo Alto, USA to develop the ultimate painless and convenient system and... view more... (2004-11-05)
MIT: Novel needle could cut medical complications
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people suffer medical complications from hypodermic needles that penetrate too far under their skin. view more (2009-04-03)
ICDs effective in helping to prevent sudden cardiac death in patients with certain heart disorder
High-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy appear to have reduced risk of sudden cardiac death with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that terminates dangerous heart rhythm disorders. view more (2007-07-25)
Advances in nebulised drug delivery
AROUND £50 million of National Health Service money a year is spent nebulising drug aerosols to patients with asthma, cystic fibrosis and infections. Drug delivery by this route currently escapes attention from the regulatory authorities because the drug is sold separately from the delivery device and clinical practice is based largely on... view more...

ORNL advances therapy for Parkinson's, other diseases
By miniaturizing a device that monitors the delivery of healthy cells, researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing a powerful instrument for physicians to use in treating patients with Parkinson's syndrome, brain tumors and other diseases. view more (2009-07-23)
Quatratran - Helping to make The World a safer place
Since the development of superconducting electronic devices there has been a need to develop a three terminal transistor like device sensitive enough to measure small voltage and current signals typical of those associated with single electron and photon events. A group of researchers in the Department of Particle & Nuclear Physics at Oxford... view more... (2004-02-19)
Doctors, engineers develop new wireless system
UT Southwestern Medical Center doctors and UT Arlington engineers have developed a wireless monitoring system that uses electrical impulses to track esophageal reflux. view more (2007-05-30)
Research underway to give sleep apnea sufferers relief and rest
For some, a full night's rest can be anything but restful. That's because they have sleep apnea, which causes them to struggle for breath in bouts throughout the night. Six percent of the population is affected by the condition-but many don't even know they have it. view more (2008-09-29)
Simple device which uses electrical field could boost gas efficiency
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University physics professor has developed a simple device which could dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent. view more (2008-09-26)
World's fastest transistor approaches goal of terahertz device
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have again broken their own speed record for the world's fastest transistor. With a frequency of 845 gigahertz, their latest device is approximately 300 gigahertz faster than transistors built by other research groups, and approaches the goal of a terahertz device. view more (2006-12-12)
Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new energy storage device that easily could be mistaken for a simple sheet of black paper. view more (2007-08-14)
Law enforcement officers may not always use gun locks themselves, despite promoting their use
Despite promoting the use of gun locks to the general public, to encourage gun safety, US law enforcement officers from one agency don't seem to like using the devices themselves, reports research in Injury Prevention. Unintentional injury and death from firearms is a major public health problem in the US, with the death rate attributable to this... view more... (2001-08-29)
MSU engineering team designs innovative medical device
MSU engineering team designs innovative medical device A Michigan State University engineering design team has developed a medical diagnosis system that would allow people to be inexpensively screened for a variety of medical problems. view more (2007-08-24)
LIGHTNING PROTECTION ... JAMES BOND-SYLE
A leading expert from Staffordshire University is helping to produce a James Bond-style device which will protect people and buildings from lightning strikes - using a laser beam and a mirror. view more (1999-12-16)
'Air shower' set to cut water use by 30 per cent
As Australians become increasingly alert to the importance of using water wisely in the home, CSIRO researchers have found a way to use a third less water when you shower - by adding air. view more (2006-11-10)
OptiNose presents new data on highly effective treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis
OptiNose today announced important new results from a Phase II trial of its novel nasal drug delivery device with fluticasone for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. view more (2009-04-20)
Electrochromic artificial nails
The researcher Carlos Gonzalez from the Department of New Materials at CIDETEC (Basque Country) has developed an element called electrochromic false nail. This cosmetic accessory item will be able to be used as an artificial nail to cover the natural one. Its novelty lies in the fact that, once the false nail is inserted into position, it can... view more... (2003-11-04)
