Foldable and stretchable, silicon circuits conform to many shapes
Scientists have developed a new form of stretchable silicon integrated circuit that can wrap around complex shapes such as spheres, body parts and aircraft wings, and can operate during stretching, compressing, folding and other types of extreme mechanical deformations, without a reduction in electrical performance. view more (2008-03-28)
Low-cost magnetic field sensors
People who can claim possession of the latest generation of outdoor wristwatch may rightly assume that the conventional compass with its magnetic needle has served its time. Thanks to modern, space-saving chip technology, new features are constantly being integrated: altimeters, cameras, or even electronic compasses can be conveniently worn on the... view more...

Rensselaer Researcher To Showcase New Solar Underwater Robot Technology at Exhibition on State-of-the-Art U.S. Robotic Vehicles
A new solar-powered underwater robot technology developed for undersea observation and water monitoring will be showcased at a Sept. 16 workshop on leading-edge robotics to be held at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Arlington, Va. view more (2005-09-07)
Catching the lightwave: Nano-mechanical sensors 'wired' by photonics
As researchers push towards detection of single molecules, single electron spins and the smallest amounts of mass and movement, Yale researchers have demonstrated silicon-based nanocantilevers, smaller than the wavelength of light, that operate on photonic principles eliminating the need for electric transducers and expensive laser setups. view more (2009-04-27)
Cocktails ameliorate celiac disease
The University Rovira i Virgili (Spain), the company Trace Biotech AG (Braunschweig), the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM, Mainz), and seven other European partners are jointly developing a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. The goal of the ambitious project is to manufacture a disposable microsystem with integrated... view more... (2002-11-28)
New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory cells on microchips mounted on the unmanned vehicle.... view more...

The minerals on Mars influence the measuring of its temperature
A team of researchers from the CSIC-INTA Astrobiology Centre in Madrid has confirmed that the type of mineralogical composition on the surface of Mars influences the measuring of its temperature. view more (2009-07-14)
RTS and Syrrx Announce Partnership
RTS Life Science International (RTS) and Syrrx announce a partnership to develop and market high throughput structural biology automation solutions. This will be known as the HTSB Factory™ and it allows the user to set-up hundreds of thousands of experiments for a target and increase the crystallization rate significantly. Dr. Wendell... view more... (2003-05-01)
Higher Water Temperatures and Reduced Ice Cover In the Arctic Ocean
Over the past six weeks, scientists aboard the research vessel "Polarstern" of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research have been investigating changes in ocean temperature and sea ice cover in the area of Fram Strait between Spitsbergen and Greenland. In this area significant exchange of water masses between the Arctic Ocean... view more... (2004-08-27)
University of Iowa team discovers first moisture-sensing genes
Researchers in the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine have discovered the first two genes involved in moisture sensing (hygrosensation). view more (2007-11-08)
Researchers develop an integrated treatment for veterans with chronic pain and posttraumatic stress
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in a growing number of soldiers evacuated to the United States for comprehensive care for physical and psychological trauma. view more (2009-09-30)
A new method for the design and manufacture of sensors based on optic fibres
A novel method for the design and manufacture of sensors to measure the temperature and relative humidity of the air, the pH of solutions or the refractive index of liquids based on optic fibre has been devised at the Public University of Navarre. The sensors are small devices capable of capturing both physical and chemical signals from the... view more... (2003-04-25)
Assembly technique for tiny wires may eventually help detect cancer and other diseases
Bottom-up manufacturing may hold the key to production of tiny medical devices capable of testing for multiple molecules like viruses or cancer markers, according to an interdisciplinary team of Penn State researchers. view more (2008-03-10)
New method monitors critical bacteria in wastewater treatment
Researchers have developed a new technique using sensors to constantly monitor the health of bacteria critical to wastewater treatment facilities and have verified a theory that copper is vital to the proper functioning of a key enzyme in the bacteria. view more (2009-02-05)
Revolutionary nanotechnology illuminates brain cells at work
Until now it has been impossible to accurately measure the levels of important chemicals in living brain cells in real time and at the level of a single cell. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology and Stanford University are the first to overcome this obstacle by successfully applying genetic nanotechnology using... view more...

NRL sensor to measure natural airglow in the upper atmosphere
The second of five Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) remote sensing instruments, developed by the Naval Research Laboratory, was launched on November 4, 2006 on board the DMSP F-17 satellite. SSULI is the first operational instrument of its kind and provides a new technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from... view more... (2006-11-07)
Forest Fire Sensor Inspired By Nature
They are what fire fighters have long been calling for: low-cost and highly sensitive infrared sensors that automatically monitor large forest areas and trigger an early warning in the event of fire.
