Data processing joins fight to treat cancer
Laboratory technicians battling cancer want to improve diagnosis and treatment of the disease. But they are drowning in data from modern biological techniques. New Web-based software - validated in three European oncology hospitals - can extract potentially life-saving knowledge from such data in minutes. view more (2005-04-06)
Towards an integrated assessment tool for European agricultural and environmental policies
The European Commission asked for the development of an integrated computer toolkit for an ex ante assessment for effective and efficient agricultural and environmental policies for the EU-25 in a changing Europe and world. Thirty research institutes from thirteen European countries are involved in this project 'Seamless'. The project is... view more... (2005-01-25)
Terahertz waves are effective probes for IC heat barriers
By modifying a commonly used commercial infrared spectrometer to allow operation at long-wave terahertz frequencies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) discovered an efficient new approach to measure key structural properties of nanoscale metal-oxide films used in high-speed integrated circuits. view more (2009-05-11)
Preparing for the road-pricing scheme
After much public hype, the introduction of the German road-pricing scheme was much like the mountain in Aesop's fable. It rumbled, went into labor and in the end delivered a mouse. The delay in the introduction of the electronic highway toll collection system at least gives trucking companies and forwarding agents time to prepare for the... view more... (2003-12-01)
Bigger not necessarily better, when it comes to brains
Tiny insects could be as intelligent as much bigger animals, despite only having a brain the size of a pinhead, say scientists at Queen Mary, University of London. view more (2009-11-18)
Summit agrees to improve coordination of global Earth observation
High-level delegates from 30 countries and 22 international organisations agreed at the Earth Observation Summit held last Thursday in Washington to improve cooperation on Earth observation and to remove barriers to the exchange of information between countries and organisations. ESA already carries out its Earth observation programmes in... view more... (2003-08-07)
New brain marker shows promise for predicting future Alzheimer's disease
Duke University Medical Center researchers have used imaging technology to identify a new marker that may help identify those at greatest risk for cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-31)
HIV is a 'double hit' to the brain
New evidence reported in the August issue of Cell Stem Cell, a publication of Cell Press, offers a novel perspective on how the HIV/AIDS virus leads to learning and memory deficits, a condition known as HIV-associated dementia. view more (2007-08-16)
European researchers launch 10 million Euro collaborative technology project
European researchers launch 10 million Euro collaborative technology project: EMBL-Hamburg coordinates a four-year integrated research project within the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission: The European Commission has given Europe a huge boost in the field of Structural Genomics, awarding the European Molecular Biology Laboratory... view more...

Arctic ocean history is deciphered by ocean-drilling research team
Sediment cores retrieved from the Arctic's deep-sea floor by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) have provided long-absent data to scientists who report new findings in the June 21 issue of Nature. view more (2007-06-21)
3D Circuits - Changing The Shape Of Things To Come
A 3-D framework of copper interconnection patterns is constructed and then plated in a cheap metal foil. The framework is then placed in the mould cavity of an injection moulding machine and molten thermoplastic resin is forced into the cavity against the plated pattern. After cooling, the foil is chemically removed from the moulding, revealing... view more... (1999-09-29)
It's a unisex brain with specific signals that trigger 'male' behavior
Research by Yale scientists shows that males and females have essentially unisex brains - at least in flies - according to a recent report in Cell designed to identify factors that are responsible for sex differences in behavior. view more (2008-05-01)
Testing soil for contamination
Throughout Europe the recovery of abandoned land known as 'brownfield sites' is becoming increasingly important. Former industrial or commercial properties where operations may have resulted in environmental contamination, they often impose environmental, legal and financial burdens on the surrounding communities. Left vacant, contaminated sites... view more... (2004-05-13)
Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer models of circuits in the human brain and they can... view more... (2003-04-16)
Psion and British Aerospace help Imperial College to win University Challenge Award
Professor Bill Wakeham, Deputy Rector and Pro-Rector (Research) commented: "Imperial College chose to make a solo bid to University Challenge as the number, quality and diversity of technologies with commercial potential generated by our research programme is more than sufficient to warrant this level of support. There is a well developed and... view more... (1999-03-10)
Directors challenged to create pocket sized films for mobiles
Before long, the majority of mobile phones will have the capacity to show short films. If you want to be one of the pioneering filmmakers to make their mark in this new genre then Pocket Shorts, a new initiative supported by NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that supports UK creativity and... view more...

How to shrink the mobile phones even more?
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... (2002-04-25)
UB Engineers Prove That Carbon Nanotubes Are Superior to Metals for Electronics
In the quest to pack ever-smaller electronic devices more densely with integrated circuits, nanotechnology researchers keep running up against some unpleasant truths: higher current density induces electromigration and thermomigration, phenomena that damage metal conductors and produce heat, which leads to premature failure of devices. view more (2009-03-23)
Graphene yields secrets to its extraordinary properties
Applying innovative measurement techniques, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have directly measured the unusual energy spectrum of graphene, a technologically promising, two-dimensional form of carbon that has tantalized and puzzled scientists since its discovery in... view more...

Contact lenses with circuits, lights a possible platform for superhuman vision
Movie characters from the Terminator to the Bionic Woman use bionic eyes to zoom in on far-off scenes, have useful facts pop into their field of view, or create virtual crosshairs. Off the screen, virtual displays have been proposed for more practical purposes -- visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and... view more... (2008-01-18)
