NASA helps Texas respond to most widespread flooding in 50 years
On July 3, a NASA aircraft equipped with a state-of-the-art sensor provided emergency response officials with critical soil moisture data for several regions across Texas that were threatened by flooding. view more (2007-08-06)
Tiny 'gas-flow' sensor has industrial, environmental applications
Researchers at Purdue University have shown how to create a new class of tiny sensors for applications ranging from environmental protection to pharmaceutical preservation. view more (2007-02-05)
University of Houston research team aims to help caregivers monitor patients' health and whereabouts
For those who are caring for elderly parents, peace of mind is hard to come by. And, for their parents, dignity is hard to retain. But a team of University of Houston researchers hopes to ease worries and frustrations by designing an affordable in-home health-monitoring system that will notify caregivers, via smartphones or PDAs, if their loved... view more...

MIT gas sensor is tiny, quick
Engineers at MIT are developing a tiny sensor that could be used to detect minute quantities of hazardous gases, including toxic industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents, much more quickly than current devices. view more (2008-01-14)
Widespread uncontrolled use of antibiotics to prevent anthrax will lead to resistance
Giving antibiotics to large numbers of potentially exposed individuals to prevent anthrax will lead to resistance, according to researchers from Liverpool in this week's BMJ. As such, it is essential that they are used carefully and according to national guidelines. Although generally safe, the antimicrobial drug ciprofloxacin, which has been... view more... (2001-10-31)
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...

Precision measurement of W boson mass portends stricter limits for Higgs particle
Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved the world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson by a single experiment. Combined with other measurements, the reduced uncertainty of the W boson mass will lead to stricter bounds on the mass of the elusive Higgs... view more... (2009-03-12)
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)
tTGA: Is it more essential in diagnosis of gluten sensitive enteropathy?
CD is a highly prevalent disease (1:100 to 1:300) which fulfils most of the criteria favoring mass screening. Despite this, screening for gluten sensitive enteropathy (GSE) is still controversial due to its dubious benefits and the acceptance of a gluten-free diet (GFD). view more (2009-03-24)
Work stress doubles risk of death from heart disease
Work stress is associated with a doubling of the risk of death from heart disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers followed 812 healthy employees (545 men, 267 women) of a company in Finland for an average of 25 years. They gathered data on stress, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body mass index by questionnaire, interviews,... view more... (2002-10-15)
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)
Lots of Small Stars Born in Starburst Region
The present research programme was granted observing time with VLT ANTU in April 1999. Its general aim is to investigate collective, massive star formation, in particular the coalescence of high- and low-mass stars in the violent environments of starburst regions. These are areas in which the processes that lead to the birth of new stars are... view more... (1999-10-13)
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)
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. Zoologist at the University of Bonn have taken an important step towards this goal. They have constructed a forest fire sensor which could be... view more... (2004-07-28)
Anorexia and bone mass
A multidisciplinary paediatrics research team has been awarded the "Amagoia" prize by the Sociedad Vasco-Navarra de Pediatr'a for its work, "Study of bone mass and its determinant factors in female children and adolescents affected by eating habit disorders". The research was led by Dr. Cristina Azcona, responsible for the... view more... (2004-11-25)
