Patients With Panic Are Less Likely To Relapse If They Had Psychotherapy In Addition To Drug Treatment
Two researchers of the University of Roma report on the importance of psychological treatment in preventing relapse of panic. Many short-term trials suggested that the combination of psychotherapy with medication might be more effective than either treatment alone. However, only few studies examined the long-term effectiveness of this combination.... view more... (2003-01-13)
Wireless sensor networks offer high-tech assurance for a world wary of earthquakes
An earthquake strikes a large city, wrecking roads and bridges, stranding rush-hour commuters, trapping office workers inside high-rise buildings. view more (2006-04-07)
Best antenatal screening: study results
A study of about 50,000 pregnant women has shown that the integrated test for Down's syndrome offers a "significantly higher" level of safety than the screening available to most women in the UK. The study, which will be reported in the June Journal of Medical Screening, was carried out by Professor Nicholas Wald and colleagues at the... view more... (2003-06-02)
Swell alcohol detector
A new, highly sensitive way of detecting alcohol vapour is published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers from the University of Yamanashi and the TRI Chemical Laboratory Inc in Japan have designed and tested new plastic optical fibre sensors that could be used to detect hazardous gas leaks,... view more...

Wearable sensors to improve soldier post-action reports
A soldier's after-action mission report can sometimes leave out vital observations and experiences that could be valuable in planning future operations. view more (2006-05-15)
Team develops energy-efficient microchip
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. view more (2008-02-05)
Smart jail cells could predict and prevent inmate violence
Holding cells fitted with specially-adapted sensors could provide early warnings if inmates become agitated or have a medical emergency, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry magazine. view more (2005-05-12)
Sensor of plastic can be produced in a printing press
Electrochemical transistors made of plastic open myriad possibilities. Since both electrons and ions are active, they can function as a bridge between traditional electronics and biological systems. A new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden describes a simple and inexpensive humidity sensor that can be manufactured in a printing... view more... (2005-02-08)
Chemical warfare agent detection technology used to treat lung disease
A new technique based on the same technology used to detect chemical warfare agents and explosives is being employed by scientists at The University of Manchester to treat hospital patients with lung disease. view more (2006-01-24)
Keeping an eye on fatigue in wind turbines
Wind farms are springing up everywhere like mushrooms. Business in this alternative sector of the energy industry is booming, thanks in part to federal and former state subsidies. The total output of the wind turbines installed in Germany today is theoretically enough to supply the whole capital of Berlin with electricity. But the durability of... view more... (2003-09-18)
Caltech bioengineers develop 'microscope on a chip'
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have turned science fiction into reality with their development of a super-compact high-resolution microscope, small enough to fit on a finger tip. view more (2008-07-29)
ANALYTICA 2004: Analyses for Medicine and Environment
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of a modular kit for a „chip-based lab". Thanks to ingenious fluidics and a miniaturised tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproducable PCR reactions in less than five minutes. The single chips of the modular kit are... view more... (2004-05-05)
Superconducting sensor helps detecting gravitation waves
To be able to detect gravitation waves in space, physicist have to measure truly minimal displacements: ten billion times smaller than the size of an atom. An improved superconducting sensor is a suitable candidate for this job, Martin Podt of the University of Twente now states in his PhD thesis. He has improved the sensitivity of a so-called... view more... (2003-01-15)
Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood. view more (2005-09-26)
Biophysical method may help to recover hearing
Scientists based in Switzerland and South Africa have created a biophysical methodology that may help to overcome hearing deficits, and potentially remedy even substantial hearing loss. The authors propose a method of retuning functioning regions of the ear to recognize frequencies originally associated with damaged areas. Details are published... view more... (2008-08-29)
Sheffield scientists light up bacteria
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have received joint funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop an innovative sensor to detect bacteria. view more (2007-03-13)
Eyeing the future of ubiquitous computing
A future in which computers become pervasive, unobtrusive and almost invisible is being brought a step closer by EYES, an IST programme-funded project addressing many of the challenges of creating the sensor networks needed to make ubiquitous computing an everyday reality. view more (2004-12-01)
Nano-layer of ruthenium stabilizes magnetic sensors
A layer of ruthenium just a few atoms thick can be used to fine-tune the sensitivity and enhance the reliability of magnetic sensors, tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) show. view more (2007-08-06)
New multi-use device can shed light on oxygen intake
A fiber-optic sensor created by a team of Purdue University researchers that is capable of measuring oxygen intake rates could have broad applications ranging from plant root development to assessing the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. view more (2009-09-23)
Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is known as a diffractive optical element-based sensor... view more...
