Sandia researchers develop contaminant warning program for EPA to monitor water systems in real time
Sandia National Laboratories researchers are working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), University of Cincinnati and Argonne National Laboratory to develop contaminant warning systems that can monitor municipal water systems to determine quickly when and where a contamination occurs. view more (2006-10-11)
Sensor biochips could aid in cancer diagnosis and treatment
It is very difficult to predict whether a cancer drug will help an individual patient: only around one third of drugs will work directly in a given patient. view more (2009-10-22)
Research Europe 21 March issue: stories on ITER and fusion, R&D targets, integrated projects, and funding in Austria.
Hosting ITER would cost 4.8bn euros It would cost Europe 4.824 billion euros to host the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, according to a Commission working document presented to EU research ministers meeting on 11 March. If work begins on ITER during Framework 6 - a possibility, since some partners envisage agreement on the... view more... (2002-03-21)
Engineers make first 'active matrix' display using nanowires
Engineers have created the first "active matrix" display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits, a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and "heads-up" displays in car windshields. view more (2008-04-01)
Opto-electronic nose sniffs out toxic gases
Imagine a polka-dotted postage stamp that can sniff out poisonous gases or deadly toxins simply by changing colors. view more (2009-09-14)
Hydrogen sensors are faster, more sensitive
Hydrogen sensor technology is a critical component for safety and other practical concerns in the proposed hydrogen economy. For example, hydrogen sensors will detect leaks from hydrogen powered cars and fueling stations long before the gas becomes an explosive hazard. view more (2005-05-26)
Bladder cells feel stretch
Japanese research group led by Prof. Makoto Tominaga and Dr. Takaaki Sokabe (National Institute for Physiological Sciences: NIPS), and Prof. Masayuki Takeda, Dr. Isao Araki and Dr. Tsutomu Mochizuki (Yamanashi Univ.), found that bladder urothelial cells have a sensor for stretch stimulation. view more (2009-08-07)
Indelible watermarks
As the Internet extends its reach and grows in complexity, there is a greater need for digital watermarks in image, audio and video data. Using a similar technique to banknote watermarking, invisible or inaudible information is inserted into digital content to thwart unauthorized use and ensure that honest paying consumers receive the authentic... view more...

Cultural identity shown to influence mental health in adolescents
The first prospective study investigating cultural identity and mental health status among adolescents living in a culturally diverse society has revealed that there is an association between the two, and that effects differ by gender and ethnic group. view more (2008-04-15)
MIT's 'electronic nose' could detect hazards
A tiny "electronic nose" that MIT researchers have engineered with a novel inkjet printing method could be used to detect hazards including carbon monoxide, harmful industrial solvents and explosives. view more (2007-11-12)
Portable cocaine sensor developed at UC Santa Barbara
A real-time sensor for detecting cocaine -- made with inexpensive, off-the-shelf electronics -- has been developed by a team of researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2006-02-27)
New security and medical sensor devices made possible by metallic nanostructures
Scientists have designed tiny new sensor structures that could be used in novel security devices to detect poisons and explosives, or in highly sensitive medical sensors. view more (2009-04-07)
Hawaii's anthurium growers cope with plant disease
A destructive pathogen is impacting Hawaii's production of anthuriums, a plant known for its heart-shaped flower and leaves. view more (2006-03-02)
Silicon motion sensor in line for UK's biggest engineering prize
The inventors of a tiny gyroscope that is cheap and tough enough to be used routinely in cars now have a 1 in 4 chance of winning the UK's biggest engineering prize, the £50,000 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award for innovation. Tonight, 24 June 1999, the Academy will announce a team from British Aerospace Systems and Equipment... view more... (1999-06-24)
Not so sweet: Over-consumption of sugar linked to aging
We know that lifespan can be extended in animals by restricting calories such as sugar intake. view more (2009-03-06)
Funding to develop tomorrow's technology
The University of Sussex is the only university to receive two awards from a new multi-million-pound government fund that aims to revolutionise scientific research and innovation. Two initiatives at Sussex are to be supported by the Basic Technology Research Programme, which is being managed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research... view more... (2002-02-26)
Model predicts a system's remaining life and links info to inventory decisions
New research at the Georgia Institute of Technology could soon make predicting the degradation and remaining useful life of mechanical and electronic equipment easier and more accurate, while significantly improving maintenance operations and spare parts logistics. view more (2008-10-15)
Stanford researchers developing 3-D camera with 12,616 lenses
The camera you own has one main lens and produces a flat, two-dimensional photograph, whether you hold it in your hand or view it on your computer screen. On the other hand, a camera with two lenses (or two cameras placed apart from each other) can take more interesting 3-D photos. view more (2008-03-20)
Nanowire arrays can detect signals along individual neurons
Opening a whole new interface between nanotechnology and neuroscience, scientists at Harvard University have used slender silicon nanowires to detect, stimulate, and inhibit nerve signals along the axons and dendrites of live mammalian neurons. view more (2006-08-25)
