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 impacts of the Channel Tunnel on Kent
As part of the assessment of the Channel Tunnel after ten years of operation, the Centre for European Regional and Transport Economics (CERTE) at the University of Kent was commissioned by Eurotunnel and Kent County Council to evaluate the impact of the Tunnel on Kent and the likely trends for the future. The results of this study have now been... view more... (2005-02-02)

Mayo Clinic researchers find evidence for traumatic cause of carpal tunnel syndrome
New Mayo Clinic research suggests that a shearing injury of the tissue that lines the tendons within the carpal tunnel may cause carpal tunnel syndrome, a debilitating condition of the wrist and hand.   view more (2006-11-10)

University of Miami physicist develops battery using new source of energy
Researchers at the University of Miami and at the Universities of Tokyo and Tohoku, Japan, have been able to prove the existence of a "spin battery," a battery that is "charged" by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ).   view more (2009-03-12)

Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over.   view more (2006-11-28)

Innovative System For Testing Tunnel Safety
LABEIN Tecnological Centre, based in the Basque Country, has developed an innovative system for verifying tunnel safety in the case of fire. The new system, developed at the request of the Gipuzkoa Provincial Government, has been successfully tested in the new Lezarri (Bergara) tunnel on the A1 Eibar-Vitoria motorway. The novel element in the... view more... (2004-01-22)

Covering the bases: Quantum effect may hold promise for low-cost DNA sequencing, sensor applications
A ghostly property of matter, called quantum tunneling, may aid the quest for accurate, low-cost genomic sequencing, according to a new paper in Nature Nanotechnology Letters by Stuart Lindsay and his collaborators at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University.   view more (2009-03-23)

Built on sand
Numerical modelling of geological deformation processes Innsbruck/Vienna (FWF) - The precise knowledge of geological stresses, faults, fissures or folds is essential for tunnelling projects, earthquake forecasts or the final storage of radioactive waste. Sponsored by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Dimitrios Kolymbas from the Institute of... view more... (2001-04-23)

Acrylamide and health risks
Researcher Birgit Paulsson at Stockholm University have conducted follow-up studies of the leakage of acrylamides in connection with tunnel construction under the Halland Ridge in southwestern Sweden. The aim has primarily been to enhance the database for assessing health risks, primarily cancer risks, in connection with this exposure and in... view more... (2003-04-22)

Laser pulses show how birds fly
We all know that birds can fly. But no one has ever been able to explain how they can produce enough lift to neutralize their body weight. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered where the missing modicum of momentum is to be found. Using laser technology they have studied a nightingale in flight in a wind tunnel. In the 1980s... view more... (2003-10-03)

X marks the spot: Ions coldly go through NIST trap junction
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new ion trap that enables ions to go through an intersection while keeping their cool.   view more (2009-04-09)

Wind tunnel tests could lead to healthier towns and cities
It's hardly an appealing thought but the overpowering fragrance of mothballs in a large wind tunnel could provide the key to improving air quality in our towns and cities. The tests will improve our understanding of how pollution and heat behave at street level so that more effective ventilation methods can be developed. The research will be... view more...

UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections.   view more (2008-05-01)
