Organic electronics a two-way street, thanks to new plastic semiconductor
Plastic that conducts electricity holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. This technology is already available in some gadgets -- the new Sony walkman that was introduced earlier this summer and the Microsoft Zune HD music player released last week both incorporate organic light-emitting electronic displays. view more (2009-08-18)
Study offers new clues to brain-stomach interaction in overeating
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found new clues to how the brain and the stomach interact with emotions to cause overeating and obesity. view more (2006-10-03)
DAB 5.1 Surround Live Premiere at Medientage 2004
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS introduces its novel Spatial Audio Coding technology, which enables 5.1 Surround Sound for Digital Audio Broadcasting DAB. The Bayerische Rundfunk (BR) and Bayern Digital Radio (BDR) broadcast the first 5.1 program over DAB live on "Bayern 4 Klassik" during the Medientage event in Munich. A DAB... view more...

A new spin on silicon
For about 40 years, the semiconductor industry has been able to continually shrink the electronic components on silicon chips, packing ever more performance into computers. view more (2005-08-02)
Understanding a cell's split personality aids synthetic circuits
As scientists work toward making genetically altered bacteria create living "circuits" to produce a myriad of useful proteins and chemicals, they have logically assumed that the single-celled organisms would always respond to an external command in the same way. view more (2009-10-05)
Study shows new strategy for developing antidepressants
Researchers may be able to develop an antidepressant which takes effect almost immediately by directly targeting novel molecules in the brain instead of taking a less direct route, which can lead to longer times for medication to take effect, according to a new study presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual... view more...

How can we make nanoscale capacitors even smaller?
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered what limits our ability to reduce the size of capacitors, often the largest components in integrated circuits, down to the nanoscale. view more (2006-10-13)
Government dithering "compounds transport crisis", say leading academics
Academics and transport professionals at the Royal Geographical Society today will strongly criticise the government over its failure to deliver an integrated transport system for the UK. Meeting at the Royal Geographical Society's headquarters in London, a range of leading transport geographers, professionals and politicians from across the UK... view more... (2001-09-19)
Radio Frequency tagging for preventing theft and tracking stocks
Tagging individual items with barely noticeable disposable electronic circuits that can be detected with a radio wave scanner is becoming increasingly common, with over 4 billion circuits sold last year. There are many applications where tags are currently in use. Manufacturers and distributors use hand-held radio frequency tagging to track stock,... view more... (2003-06-03)
Stanford study of owls finds link in brain between sight and sound
Just imagine listening to someone talk and also hearing the buzz of the overhead lights, the hum of your computer and the muffled conversation down the hallway. view more (2006-01-19)
Research removes major obstacle from mass production of tiny circuits
As they eliminate tiny air bubbles that form when liquid droplets are molded into intricate circuits, a Princeton-led team is dissolving a sizable obstacle to the mass production of smaller, cheaper microchips. view more (2007-01-18)
Ensonido Technology: Surround Sound to Go
With the recently introduced MP3 Surround audio format, 5.1-channel material will soon be widely available. Since MP3 Surround files are just slightly bigger than stereo MP3 files, multi-channel sound even with flash MP3 players will become feasible. Together with the new Ensonido technology, surround sound can now be enjoyed over stereo... view more... (2005-03-09)
Brain circuits that control hunger identified
Researchers at UCLA have determined the brain circuits involved in hunger that are influenced by a hormone called leptin. In previous clinical trials, supplementation of leptin, the signaling molecule produced by fat cells, produced moderate weight loss in some obese patients, purportedly by inhibiting hunger and promoting feelings of being full. view more (2007-10-30)
Scientists demonstrate high-performing room-temperature nanolaser
Scientists at Yokohama National University in Japan have built a highly efficient room-temperature nanometer-scale laser that produces stable, continuous streams of near-infrared laser light. view more (2007-06-21)
CSHL links activity in brain synapses and developmental abnormalities with schizophrenia gene
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers have identified a function of neuregulin1 (NRG1), a gene previously linked to schizophrenia but whose role in the disease was unknown. view more (2007-05-25)
Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates two concentric cylindrical tanks in a single... view more... (2002-12-03)
THE SALMON FARMING INDUSTRY: Forward Thinking Strategies for Sea Lice Control
The problems and issues of sea lice infection in farmed salmon are a major and topical concern for the whole industry. A special issue of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) journal, Pest Management Science to be published in May 2002 reports on the prospect of developing an integrated pest management programme for sea lice control. Presenting... view more... (2002-05-14)
Viagra®, unlikely tool for vision research, slows the visual response to flickering light
Therapeutic doses of Viagra® have been shown to influence the rate at which visual signals are integrated by the brain, affecting the way quick, repeated events, such as flickering light, are perceived. view more (2006-01-24)
Maximum Comfort for Patients
A multiple-parameter medical network with wireless sensors for the measurement of vital body functions will be exhibited by Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS at the CeBIT 2004. It is comfortable and convenient to wear - the wireless sensor wristband of Fraunhofer IIS for the measurement of the pulse waves and the oxygen saturation... view more... (2004-03-05)
Gold-tipped nanocrystals developed by Hebrew University researchers
"Nanodumbells" - gold-tipped nanocrystals which can be used as highly-efficient building blocks for devices in the emerging nanotechnology revolution - have been developed by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The technology, developed by a research group headed by Prof. Uri Banin of the Department of Physical Chemistry... view more... (2004-06-17)
