Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)
Novel imaging technique reveals brain abnormalities that may play key role in ADHD
A study published today in the online advance edition of The American Journal of Psychiatry for the first time reveals shape differences in the brains of children with ADHD, which could help pinpoint the specific neural circuits involved in the disorder. view more (2008-11-18)
Leading Security Experts Research UK Suicide Bomb Risk
The risks of a lone suicide bomber targeting crowded areas in the UK like bars, shopping centres or the underground has been under intense research and investigation for the past 12 months. Resilience and security experts at Cranfield University, in partnership with the Defence Academy of the UK, are working with the Government to map out... view more... (2004-05-04)
Start-up Project: LIPGENE - Tackling metabolic syndrome
Obesity has now become a global epidemic bringing, in its wake, a cluster of metabolic symptoms and cardiovascular disease risk factors. view more (2004-04-01)
Silicon-germanium microchips may herald new applications from radar to space exploration
Georgia Tech scientists and engineers are pursuing the dictum that "smaller is better" to develop a new breed of highly-integrated silicon-based microchips capable of operating in ultra-sophisticated radar systems - and in new generations of NASA spacecraft. view more (2005-12-13)
Brain research shows past experience is invaluable for complex decision making
Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have shown that past experience really does help when we have to make complex decisions based on uncertain or confusing information. view more (2009-05-14)
Measuring invisible reflections
The race is on for chip manufacturers. Many of them plan to open chip fabrication facilities employing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation between up until 2010. This trend is being driven by advances in photolithography in which increasingly shorter wavelengths enable the production of even finer microelectronic structures. The result is higher... view more... (2003-07-25)
'Instant on' computing
The ferroelectric materials found in today's "smart cards" used in subway, ATM and fuel cards soon may eliminate the time-consuming booting and rebooting of computer operating systems by providing an "instant-on" capability as well as preventing losses from power outages. view more (2009-04-20)
Transforming Nanowires Into Nano-Tools Using Cation Exchange Reactions
A team of engineers from the University of Pennsylvania has transformed simple nanowires into reconfigurable materials and circuits, demonstrating a novel, self-assembling method for chemically creating nanoscale structures that are not possible to grow or obtain otherwise. view more (2009-10-26)
USC researchers identify gene variant associated with both autism and gastrointestinal dysfunction
A study led by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) and Vanderbilt University have identified a specific gene variant that links increased genetic risk for autism with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. view more (2009-03-02)
Measuring electrical arcs at the micrometer scale
Air is a great insulator-except when it becomes a conductor. Under the right conditions, miniature lightning bolts of electricity will "arc" through the air between two electrically conducting points. view more (2006-03-31)
Office furniture goes online
Desks, chairs and interactive presentation walls equipped with large displays are now linked to the digital world for use in conferences and meetings. Together with the furniture manufacturer Wilkhahn, Fraunhofer experts are presenting the Roomware® products at CeBIT. For many people, it is difficult to imagine a work routine without... view more... (2002-03-06)
Brain model enhances understanding of schizophrenia
A new model for the interaction among the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex may be a step on the way to improving treatment for schizophrenia and ADHD. The model, which describes the function of three types of inhibitory nerve cells in the frontal lobe, is being presented in the scientific journal PNAS by researchers from Linköping... view more...

A walking robot goes mountaineering
The human gait is a marvel of coordination. All aspects of movement control - from the angle of the knee joints to the momentum of the hip up to the balance point of the torso - need to be meticulously adjusted. view more (2007-07-13)
Findings on bladder-brain link may point to better treatments for problems in sleep, attention
Bladder problems may leave a mark on the brain, by changing patterns of brain activity, possibly contributing to disrupted sleep and problems with attention. view more (2008-07-30)
UCSB researchers develop hybrid silicon evanescent laser
In what promises to be an important advance, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed a novel laser by bonding optical gain layers directly to a silicon laser cavity. view more (2005-11-16)
5.1 Surround Sound for FM HD Radio at NAB 2005
Fraunhofer IIS, Telos, Omnia, Axia, Broadcast Electronics and Bose participate in world-premiere live demon-stration of non-matrixed 5.1 Surround Sound for FM HD Radio. view more (2005-04-13)
NIST develops test method for key micromechanical property
Engineers and researchers designing and building new microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can benefit from a new test method developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure a key mechanical property of such systems: elasticity. view more (2008-01-10)
Future smart mobile has to be a true chameleon
By continously adapting the receiver settings of a mobile phone to the current conditions, the advantage is twofold; facing bad reception, the connection can be improved while in good conditions, the energy consumption can be reduced. This is possible by an automatic controller developed by Lodewijk Smit of the University of Twente in The... view more... (2004-01-21)
A clearer view of crystal growing
As technology progresses toward ever finer microelectronic structures, the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation used to depict them has to be shortened. The emerging generation of photolithographic processes works at 157 nanometers - a wavelength at which glass and even quartz glass are not transparent enough. The preferred material here is... view more... (2002-09-20)
