A team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers has shown that normal aging disrupts communication between different regions of the brain.   view more (2007-12-06)

A star's death comes to light
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can... view more (2007-01-10)

Film-maker opens the doors of perception
Cutting-edge film-maker and artist, Nichola Bruce, has received a NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) fellowship of up to £75,000 to research and create, through digital media, a sketchbook of works looking at the themes of memory and how we see. Hastings-based... view more (2002-07-30)

Robotic whiskers can sense three-dimensional environment
Many mammals use their whiskers to explore their environment and to construct a three-dimensional image of their world. Rodents, for example, use their whiskers to determine the size, shape and texture of objects, and seals use their whiskers to track the fluid wakes of their prey.   view more (2006-10-09)

Taking the wrinkles out of motoneuronal disease
A winner of UniQuest's 2006 Trailblazer innovation competition, Dr Frederic Meunier, is developing a treatment for motoneuronal diseases based on modifying botox —the popular anti-wrinkle treatment.   view more (2006-07-06)

Writing with pictures: toward a unifying theory of consumer response to images
A new paper by researchers from Oxford University and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign argues that images in contemporary consumer culture are an emergent form of writing.   view more (2007-08-30)

Technique enhances digital television viewing for visually-impaired
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have found that people with low vision can improve their ability to see and enjoy television with a new technique that allows them to enhance the contrast of images of people and objects of interest on their digital televisions.   view more (2008-01-16)

New tool to speed cancer therapy approval available
Although cancer remains a leading cause of death in America, it can take up to 12 years to bring a new anti-cancer agent before the FDA and the success rate for approval is only five to 10 percent. That means many research hours and dollars are wasted chasing avenues that will not bring fruit.   view more (2008-09-15)

The power of two: Envisat demonstrates combined imagery from dual sensors
The simultaneous observation of the Italian coast by two instruments onboard the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite provides a striking illustration of the unique potential of combining sensor data for a better understanding of complex Earth processes. Envisat's Advanced Synthetic Aperture... view more (2002-11-04)

Face-to-face contact in a virtual environment
Although many sectors of the telecommunications industry are eagerly awaiting a ray of hope on the economic horizon, the prospects for video conferencing systems look good: Last year, sales on the European market increased by almost 15 percent, and the consultant Frost & Sullivan predicts that... view more (2003-03-10)

Hebrew University Scientist Co-directing European Research Project For Internet Of Future
As the volume of "traffic" on the Internet grows at an enormous rate - estimates are that it is doubling every year - scientists in several countries have begun working to measure this incremental growth and to devise methods for more efficient means for future networking. One major... view more (2004-03-15)

Faster and better emergency response through satellite telecoms
When emergency teams are well informed and governments can coordinate their efforts, lives and property can be saved.   view more (2007-05-10)

Scientists urged to make a stand on climate
Scientists must work harder at making the public aware of the stark difference between good science and "denialist spin".   view more (2008-04-24)

It makes sense to communicate with computers
The art of communication becomes a science when dealing with computers. Laying the foundations for future research in human-computer interactions, PF-STAR's speech and gesture databases, and virtual agents open up new approaches to machine-based communications.   view more (2005-01-26)

Professor Melody says farewell to TU Delft
More than fifty colleagues write in chronicle on great scientist and his field. Professor Melody says farewell to TU Delft   view more (2002-05-31)

A puck glides through virtual worlds
Trees form on the screen as if by magic, and a rainbow emerges over the high treetops as birds glide silently through the skies. Yet the composition of this three-dimensional fantasy world has nothing to do with magic. It has been created and animated by children on an "Assemble Table".... view more (2002-07-22)

Nerve prosthesis developed in Ume'å
The first clinical study ever with a new type of nerve prosthesis has been launched at Northern Sweden University Hospital. It is being carried out by a research team from Ume'å University under the leadership of Professors Jan-Olof Kellerth and Mikael Wiberg. The team, at the Department of... view more (2003-11-11)

Simple brain mechanisms explain arbitrary human visual decisions
Mark Twain, a skeptic of the idea of free will, argues in his essay "What Is Man?" that humans do not command their minds or the opinions they form.   view more (2008-11-10)

New way to help diagnose dementia
A new way of interpreting 3D images of the brain has opened up the possibility of doctors being able to distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain diseases. Doctors need to be able to diagnose the correct disease accurately and as early as possible to implement the... view more (2000-08-01)

Seeing through tooth decay
Dental caries afflict at least 90% of the world's population at some time in their lives. Detecting the first signs of this disease, which can be lethal in extreme cases, just got easier thanks to work by researchers in India discussed in the latest issue of the International Journal of Biomedical... view more (2008-08-25)

Study explains why up to eight percent of cancers go undetected
A few years ago, Medhat Osman, M.D., Ph.D., had a patient who was scanned due to a suspicion of lung cancer using positron emission tomography (PET) and computer tomography (CT) technology. The scan came back negative, but the patient then complained of a problem with his leg.   view more (2005-06-15)

The Not-So-Digital Future of Digital Signal Processing
Fungi processing audio signals. E. Coli storing images. DNA acting as logic circuits. It's possible, and in some cases, it's already happened. In any event, performing digital signal processing using organic and chemical materials without electrical currents could be the wave of the future.   view more (2008-04-08)

Program could ease treatment decisions for prostate cancer patients
A Web-based program that provides prostate cancer patients with information about different treatment approaches may make deciding which path to follow a little easier, Medical College of Georgia researchers say.   view more (2007-05-16)

Some children are born with 'temporary deafness' and do not require cochlear implant
Clinical research conducted in the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Haifa revealed that some children who are born deaf "recover" from their deafness and do not require surgical intervention.   view more (2007-05-17)

Gliders For Mobil Communication
The Moscow scientists have suggested that the tele- and radiobroadcast and vehicular communication transponders should be installed on the gliders instead of the towers. If such gliders can be raised up on the firm kevlar ropes to the height of 10-15 kilometres, then only three transponders will be... view more (2002-06-21)
