Analog and digital - hand in hand
Digital and high-frequency analog integrated circuits are manufactured using their own specific processes, leading `separate lives` in the past. Using standard CMOS, both types of component can now be integrated on a single chip - like a wireless transmitter device.   view more (2002-02-01)

Record-breaking tuning lasers lead to better data flow
A novel two-chip approach for fabricating tunable lasers using a micro-machined mirror membrane was developed by IST project TUNVIC. Such lasers allow the free selection of a wavelength out of a wide range that will ultimately lead to an increase in flexibility of future optical networks.   view more (2004-03-11)

A University of Florida engineer is the latest researcher to design a tiny, easy-to-manufacture motion sensor, a development that could help popularize the sensors as standard equipment in personal electronics, medical devices and other applications.   view more (2006-02-10)

Cheaper LEDs from breakthrough in zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire research, Nano Letters study says
Engineers at UC San Diego have synthesized a long-sought semiconducting material that may pave the way for an inexpensive new kind of light emitting diode (LED) that could compete with today's widely used gallium nitride LEDs, according to a new paper in the journal Nano Letters.   view more (2007-01-04)

Cooperative system could wipe out car alarm noise
The persistent, annoying blare of an ignored car alarm may become a sound of the past if a cooperative, mutable and silent network of monitors proposed by Penn State researchers is deployed in automobiles and parking lots.   view more (2008-06-25)

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)

For the future hydrogen economy, a tiny, self-powered sensor
Hydrogen has been called "the fuel of the future." But the gas is invisible, odorless and explosive at high concentrations, posing a safety problem for hydrogen-powered cars, filling stations and other aspects of the so-called hydrogen economy.   view more (2006-05-25)

A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply
Scientists at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), in cooperation with the CSIC, have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor which detects the presence, in food, of very small amounts of atrazine -one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment- as well as... view more...

TU Delft puts research ‘technology with senses’ in the spotlight
TU Delft puts research ‘technology with senses’ in the spotlight In the field of intelligent sensors, TU Delft wants to call in the help of the business world and subsidy providers. For this reason, the university is founding the “Delft Institute for Intelligent Sensor MicroSystems” (DISens). Its aim is the research into... view more... (2001-06-01)

The shape of things to come
Instead of using a flat microchip as the light sensor for their new camera, a team of engineers has developed a sensor that is a flexible mesh of wire-connected pixels.   view more (2008-08-07)

Nanoscale blasting adjusts resistance in magnetic sensors
A new process for adjusting the resistance of semiconductor devices by carpeting a small area of the device with tiny pits, like a yard dug up by demented terriers, may be the key to a new class of magnetic sensors, enabling new, ultra-dense data storage devices.   view more (2007-08-17)

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.
