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)
Breakthrough in nanodevice synthesis revolutionizes biological sensors
A novel approach to synthesizing nanowires (NWs) allows their direct integration with microelectronic systems for the first time, as well as their ability to act as highly sensitive biomolecule detectors that could revolutionize biological diagnostic applications. view more (2007-02-01)
NRL sensor provides critical space weather observations
Launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., aboard an United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle, Oct. 18, 2009, the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) developed by NRL's Space Science Division and Spacecraft Engineering Department offers a first of its kind technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from... view more...

Discovery Brings New Type of Fast Computers Closer to Reality
Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called "excitons" that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality. view more (2009-09-28)
James Webb Space Telescope Begins to Take Shape at Goddard
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is starting to come together. A major component of the telescope, the Integrated Science Instrument Module structure, recently arrived at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. for testing in the Spacecraft Systems Development and Integration Facility. view more (2009-09-16)
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)
Football Shirt Tells How Tired Players Are On The Pitch
Footballers could benefit from a new hi-tech shirt that alerts managers to players' heart rate and hydration levels. The shirt, which has in-built pulse and sweat monitors was designed by Northumbria University student David Evans. It uses ECG sensors to record the electrical activity of the heart and send signals to a computer on the team bench,... view more... (2004-06-25)
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)
Managing an ocean of information to monitor coastal environments
Europe's coastlines are exposed to risk of pollution. I-MARQ's prototype Geographical Information System (GIS) delivers detailed information on coastal water quality, helping decision makers shore up defences by taking appropriate action against contamination. view more (2004-12-21)
Super sensitive gas detector goes down the nanotubes
When cells are under stress, they blow off steam by releasing minute amounts of nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases. view more (2009-01-14)
Truly sick or simply scared?
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a way to increase the sensitivity of test strips that will enable creation of a portable biosensor that can address a major concern associated with incidents involving chemical or nerve agents - the need to quickly distinguish between individuals who have been exposed and the... view more...

Zooming way in, technique offers close-ups of electrons, nuclei
Providing a glimpse into the infinitesimal, physicists have found a novel way of spying on some of the universe's tiniest building blocks. view more (2008-10-02)
New sensor system improves detection of lead, heavy metals
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a new rapid, portable and inexpensive detection system that identifies personal exposures to toxic lead and other dangerous heavy metals. view more (2008-02-13)
Nano-tetherball biosensor precisely detects glucose
Researchers have created a precise biosensor for detecting blood glucose and potentially many other biological molecules by using hollow structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes anchored to gold-coated "nanocubes." view more (2009-01-23)
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)
New small-scale generator produces alternating current by stretching zinc oxide wires
Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a flexible plastic substrate with two ends bonded. view more (2008-11-10)
Sniffing out chloride
When industrial plants are wrecked, they often leave behind a site with contaminated soil. If it was a metalworking plant, a textile production or dry-cleaning facility, a paint manufacturing or an animal waste processing plant, the soil is often contaminated with chlorine-based solvents. In order to bring the concentration back down to below the... view more... (2002-09-09)
NASA celebrates a decade observing climate impacts on health of world's oceans
The NASA-managed Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) instrument settled into orbit around Earth in 1997 and took its first measurements of ocean color. view more (2007-09-20)
Wisconsin scientists find a way to make human collagen in the lab
Of all of the materials that make up our bodies, nothing is more ubiquitous than collagen. view more (2006-02-14)
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)
