Depression linked to previously unknown dopamine regulator
Researchers from Harvard Medical School have found a molecule that is unexpectedly involved in dopamine signaling, and in a manner that supports the potential of dopamine as an alternative target for treating depression.   view more (2005-07-29)

Breakdown of myelin insulation in brain's wiring implicated in childhood developmental disorders
New evidence points to production of myelin, a fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, as a neural Achilles' heel early in life.   view more (2005-11-15)

Scientists help develop first single molecule transistor
Dr Werner Hofer, from the University's Surface Science Research Centre, is one of an international team of scientists who have created a prototype that demonstrates a single charged atom on a silicon surface can regulate the conductivity of a nearby molecule.   view more (2005-06-07)

Ultrasound shown to exert remote control of brain circuits
In a twist on nontraditional uses of ultrasound, a group of neuroscientists at Arizona State University has developed pulsed ultrasound techniques that can remotely stimulate brain circuit activity.   view more (2008-10-30)

Working together to design robust silicon chips
Designers of high-speed silicon chips have often had to compromise on performance levels for their integrated circuit designs because of physical weaknesses appearing during design verification or even in production.   view more (2009-11-13)

A whistle-stop tour of modern logistics
Tranquilly, methodically the model train makes its rounds through a small suburb and an industrial quarter. Children's toys lie about on the lawn; in front of the house stand bikes and garbage cans. The garbage collector is just pulling into the drive as a woman takes her bottles to the recycling bank nearby. At first glance, the scene looks like... view more... (2002-06-07)

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)

High-speed signal mixer demonstrates capabilities of transistor laser
Scientists at the University of Illinois have successfully demonstrated a microwave signal mixer made from a tunnel-junction transistor laser. Development of the device brings researchers a big step closer to higher speed electronics and higher performance electrical and optical integrated circuits.   view more (2009-03-20)

High-frequency cryocooler is tiny, cold and efficient
A new cryogenic refrigerator has been demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that operates at twice the usual frequency, achieving a long-sought combination of small size, rapid cooling, low temperatures and high efficiency.   view more (2007-02-16)

New model of brain sheds light on triggers of autism
Approximately 1.5 million children and adults in the U.S. have autism and it is estimated to be the fastest growing developmental disability with a 10 — 17 percent increase each year. While much is known about the symptoms of autism, the exact cause of the condition is not yet defined.   view more (2006-07-11)

A 'traffic light' for neurons means 'go' for improving brain research
Every thought, feeling and action originates from the electrical signals emitted by diverse brain cells enmeshed in a tangle of circuits. At this fundamental level, scientists struggle to explain the mind.   view more (2007-04-05)

Large-screen projection in 3D
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology FIRST in Berlin are voyaging into another dimension when it comes to projection systems. In the living room of the future, a multifunctional, large-format projection screen (1.5 x 2.5 meters) will open up a veritable window to the world. The researchers have... view more... (2003-09-18)

Chemical can reproduce complications for some patients
Medical science took a giant leap forward with the development of techniques that, at least temporarily, perform the function of vital organs.   view more (2009-05-01)

High dynamic camera
Every good picture tells a story of light / dark contrasts. Before lights and shadows can be properly displayed, the film or digital chip must cope with a wide dynamic range. A highly sensitive CMOS camera is capable of doing just that.   view more (2004-10-25)

Have you ever wondered why people surrounded by friends or family appear happier and healthier?   view more (2007-05-18)

NTU & SIMTech announce the first antenna-in-package solution for single-chip 60-GHz radio
Researchers at Nanyang Technology University (NTU) and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) have successfully developed the first Antenna-in-Package (AiP) solution in LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramic) technology for single-chip 60-GHz radio.   view more (2008-10-22)

Integrating antiretroviral therapy with TB treatment for co-infections reduces mortality
A South African treatment study conducted by researchers in the Department of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health shows that mortality among TB-HIV co-infected patients can be reduced by a remarkable 55%, if antiretroviral therapy (ART) is provided with TB treatment at the same time.   view more (2008-10-17)

Unique porous copper structure enables new generation of military micro-detonators
Tiny copper structures with pores at both the nanometer and micron size scales could play a key role in the next generation of detonators used to improve the reliability, reduce the size and lower the cost of certain military munitions.   view more (2007-12-19)
