Scientists identify origin of hiss in upper atmosphere
Scientists have solved a 40-year-old puzzle by identifying the origin of the intense radio waves in the Earth's upper atmosphere that control the dynamics of the Van Allen radiation belts - belts consisting of high-energy electrons that can damage satellites and spacecraft and pose a risk to astronauts performing activities outside their... view more...

Ames Laboratory researchers rethink zinc
Try as they might, ancient alchemists could never turn lead into gold. Neither can the members of the Novel Materials group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. But these physicists do have a way with materials, and they can get them to do some pretty amazing things. view more (2007-04-18)
New transistor makes brighter future for display screens
Researchers from Myongji University, Korea, have developed a way to improve liquid crystal displays (LCD), which could revolutionise display technology. Published today in the Institute of Physics journal Semiconductor Science and Technology, Professor Yong-Sang Kim and his team propose a new structure for polycrystalline silicon thin film... view more...

Switching off analogue TV will silence radio mikes
Actors could be struck dumb when everyone has digital television SWITCHING off Britain`s analogue television network threatens to silence its theatres, concert halls and TV studios. After 2006, the government plans to raise billions of pounds by auctioning licences to use the UHF frequencies... view more... (2002-03-13)
Medical Imaging with 'Swiss Rolls'
Under Strict Embargo for 19:00 London GMT/14.00 US EST Thursday 1 February A novel magnetic material developed by British researchers may lead to dramatic improvements in the performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. Writing in the journal Science today they describe initial experiments confirming the exotic nature of the material... view more... (2001-02-01)
Never-before-made material similar to diamonds and ice, says UH professor
Not since the use of germanium in the first transistor radios and the discovery of its crucial role in semiconductor research more than 50 years ago has the study of this element garnered so much attention. view more (2006-11-29)
Neutron stars can be more massive, while black holes are more rare, Arecibo Observatory finds
Neutron stars and black holes aren't all they've been thought to be. In fact, neutron stars can be considerably more massive than previously believed, and it is more difficult to form black holes, according to new research developed by using the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. view more (2008-01-15)
Integral looks at Earth to seek source of cosmic radiation
Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: observing Earth from space. view more (2006-03-17)

Need for hip replacements could double within next 30 years
Researchers estimated the likely numbers of hip replacements needed in the UK according to projected changes in population, numbers in each age band, and data from Sweden, which has a similar universal health care system and equivalent rates of osteoarthritis, but where attempts have been made to prioritise demand. view more (1999-09-02)
ESA and EADS-CASA sign contract to build instrument for the SMOS mission
A significant milestone in the development of ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was reached last week when the contract to build the payload was signed between ESA and EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company)-CASA from Spain. The contract, worth 62 million euros, was signed in Madrid, Spain on 11 June 2004 at the... view more... (2004-06-17)
Harvesting energy from nature's motions
By taking advantage of the vagaries of the natural world, Duke University engineers have developed a novel approach that they believe can more efficiently harvest electricity from the motions of everyday life. view more (2009-11-02)
Artemis, one year after launch
A mission brought back from the edge, a world premiere in space, European engineers grappling with the challenge of a launch malfunction: such are the results of Artemis`s first, adventurous year in space. For Artemis is still alive, doggedly advancing towards its working position in geostationary orbit, with ion engines not originally designed... view more... (2002-07-12)
Broadband for all from High Altitude Platforms - York leads international project
An international project aims to make Broadband available to remote rural areas and even moving trains, thanks to 'High Altitude Platforms' (HAPs). HAPs are airships or solar-powered aircraft, which are permanently located in the skies at an altitude of 20 km, above aeroplanes but below satellites. This solution will be cheaper and more efficient... view more... (2004-01-19)
University Scientists Will Not See the Eclipse...At Least, Not With Their Eyes!
The sun constantly radiates energy across the spectrum of frequencies from radio, through heat, to visible light and beyond. During the period of totality, only radiation present in the sun's annular corona will be detectable, with energy directly radiated from the sun being masked by the moon. view more (1999-08-06)
Riley Hospital-IU study finds booster car seats not being used appropriately
