Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts. view more (2006-05-26)
Cycling more intelligently
Cycling is fun - if you can find the right tread. But those who tire themselves out quickly lose the desire to conquer the world on two wheels. view more (2008-04-14)
'NMR on a chip' features NIST magnetic mini-sensor
A super-sensitive mini-sensor developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in tiny samples of fluids flowing through a novel microchip. view more (2008-02-20)
ETH Zurich Develops a Single-chip Microsensor System to Analyse Gases
There are many target application areas envisaged for the gas sensor chip. Air quality in closed rooms can be monitored. The presence of dangerous - even poisonous - substances in the air can be detected, such as benzene from petrol pumps or perchloroethylene from dry-cleaning installations, and warnings can then be issued. Low-cost Mass... view more... (2001-11-14)
Golden Scales: Nanoscale Mass Sensor from Berkeley Can Be Used to Weigh Individual Atoms and Molecules
There's a new "gold standard" in the sensitivity of weighing scales. Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) that can function as a scale... view more...

Nanogenerators convert mechanical energy to electricity for self-powered devices
Researchers have developed a new technique for powering nanometer-scale devices without the need for bulky energy sources such as batteries. view more (2006-04-14)
Tyre sensor will increase driver safety / caesar Research Center at the Hanover Fair
You break on black ice or on a wet highway, friction is almost zero and your car goes into a skid: A scenario which will be avoided in future. Scientists at the caesar Research Center in Bonn are developing a new technology for improving vehicle safety still further. At the Hanover Fair caesar will be presenting from April 7 to 12, 2003, on the... view more... (2003-04-02)
Turfgrass quality measurement improved with GreenSeeker sensor
To measure turfgrass performance, professionals have traditionally relied on trained human evaluators who provide visual assessments of turf quality. view more (2009-09-09)
Scientists demonstrate effect of confining dielectrics on semiconductor nanowire conductivity
Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), have demonstrated, for the first time, that the activation energy of impurities in semiconductor nanowires is affected by the surrounding dielectric and can be modified by the choice of the... view more...

Military imagery analysis assistant
Friend or enemy - what kind of tank or ship can be seen in aerial or satellite photo? The RecceMan identification assistant, which helps recognize the most diverse objects quickly and accurately, is the first interactive image recognition system produced for the German army. view more (2001-12-03)
Crop Management: How Small Do We Go?
The use of on-the-go crop and soil sensors has greatly increased the precision with which farmers can manage their crops. Recently released research in Agronomy Journal questions whether more precise management is necessarily more efficient. view more (2008-07-09)
Bridging the gap between wireless sensor networks and the scientists who use them
A new, simpler programming language for wireless sensor networks is designed for easy use by geologists who might use them to monitor volcanoes and biologists who rely on them to understand birds' nesting behaviors, for example. Researchers at the University of Michigan and Northwestern University have written the language with the novice... view more... (2009-04-08)
Novel temperature calibration improves NIST microhotplate technology
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new calibration technique that will improve the reliability and stability of one of NIST's most versatile technologies, the microhotplate. view more (2009-08-12)
