Light sensor breakthrough could enhance digital cameras
New research by a team of University of Toronto scientists could lead to substantial advancements in the performance of a variety of electronic devices including digital cameras. view more (2009-06-19)
Brain-computer link allows paralyzed patient to manipulate devices by thought
A patient with a spinal cord injury was able to produce brain signals associated with intending to move his paralyzed limbs, signals picked up by an implanted sensor and translated into electronic impulses that allowed him to control a computer cursor and manipulate mechanical devices. view more (2006-07-13)
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)
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...

Concern over expanding waistlines of British youth
Waist circumference in young people has risen more steeply over the past 10-20 years than body mass index, particularly in girls. This is a cause for concern because a large waist circumference is linked to a greater risk of disorders such as diabetes and high cholesterol, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-03-19)
Wireless sensor networks offer high-tech assurance for a world wary of earthquakes
An earthquake strikes a large city, wrecking roads and bridges, stranding rush-hour commuters, trapping office workers inside high-rise buildings. view more (2006-04-07)
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)
Mass spectrometry methods database gets major update
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently added 150 new methods-nicknamed "recipes"-to a database already containing 255 procedures for analyzing specific synthetic polymers using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. view more (2006-05-26)
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)
Portable and precise gas sensor could monitor pollution and detect disease
In the air, it is a serious pollutant. In the body, it plays a role in heart rate, blood flow, nerve signals and immune function. view more (2009-09-21)
Antarctic ice loss
Increasing amounts of ice mass have been lost from West Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula over the past ten years, according to research from the University of Bristol and published online this week in Nature Geoscience. view more (2008-01-14)
Hopkins researchers develop new tool to watch real-time chemical activity in cells
Attempts to identify potential drugs that interfere with the action of one particular enzyme linked to heart disease and similar health problems led scientists at Johns Hopkins to create a new tool and new experimental approach that allow them to see multiple, real-time chemical reactions in living cells. view more (2006-07-24)
Lifesaving cardiac monitor technology unveiled
A revolutionary Personal Health Status Monitor for early detection of life threatening cardiac rhythms is just one of the exciting new medical devices set to revolutionise health care on show at the Personalised Health Workshop in Belfast. view more (2004-12-15)
University of Leicester announces world first forensic technique
A team led by a University of Leicester forensic pathologist is believed to be the first in the world to use a new radiological approach for mass fatality investigation. view more (2006-02-24)
Preventing obesity in children — research highlights physical activity levels
A British study, involving 5,500 children and published in the latest issue of PLoS Medicine, used accurate methods to measure the 'fat mass' of the children and the amount of physical activity they were taking. view more (2007-03-20)
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)
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)
