The next generation in digital video
High-definition TV, film recordings on DVD and video clips on a cell phone - none of this would be possible without advanced image compression techniques. The successor to MPEG-2 is due to be launched in 2005, accompanied by better quality and a reduced volume of data.   view more (2004-11-09)

Physicist makes new high-res panorama of Milky Way
Cobbling together 3000 individual photographs, a physicist has made a new high-resolution panoramic image of the full night sky, with the Milky Way galaxy as its centerpiece.   view more (2009-10-29)

Opening up a colorful cosmic jewel box
Star clusters are among the most visually alluring and astrophysically fascinating objects in the sky. One of the most spectacular nestles deep in the southern skies near the Southern Cross in the constellation of Crux.   view more (2009-10-29)

NIST math technique opens clearer window on universe
A fast, efficient image enhancement technique developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and originally applied to improving monochrome microscope images has proved itself equally effective at the other end of the scale- sharpening details on color images of distant galaxies produced by the Hubble Space Telescope.   view more (2006-12-11)

Scientists demonstrate all-fibre quantum logic
A team of physicists and engineers have demonstrated all-fibre quantum logic, where single photons are generated and used to perform the contolled-NOT quantum logic gate in optical fibres with high fidelity.   view more (2009-05-29)

"Cyber Trust" At Its Lowest Point For A Decade, Warn Internet Security Experts
Public confidence in electronic channels of communication, such as the internet, mobile and wireless communications is at its lowest point for a decade, claim information and communication technology (ICT) experts at two leading British Universities.   view more (2005-03-04)

A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The results are high-resolution digital... view more... (2004-11-26)

Danish Researchers Break the Limits of the Internet
A team of Danish physicists has taken a crucial step towards an Internet that is faster and more secure than what we know today. The researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have created an atomic memory that, in time, will be able to break the limits for Internet communication. The team's breakthrough was... view more... (2004-11-26)

Puncture needles off the roll
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery can observe their work through magnetic resonance imaging. But metal instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics - such as a multifunction needle manufactured on a continuous roll - offer a viable alternative.   view more (2004-11-09)

How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life.   view more (2008-10-13)

Possible Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed with Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers (including the UK) has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.),... view more... (2004-11-02)

Stellar forensics with striking new image from Chandra
A spectacular new image shows how complex a star's afterlife can be. By studying the details of this image made from a long observation by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers can better understand how some stars die and disperse elements like oxygen into the next generation of stars and planets.   view more (2007-10-24)

A breakthrough in contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography
The present brief clinical report showed that Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) using a new microbubble agent, Sonazoid, can allow surgeons to investigate the whole liver with enough time and to find new metastases intraoperatively.   view more (2008-09-18)

Artemis assists emergency services to fight Portuguese fires
Fire fighters tackling the blazes that have ravaged Portugal are doing so with the aid of a satellite data-link. For the first time, ESA's satellite Artemis has been used to support an emergency request under the International Charter on "Space and Major Disasters". Portugal's civil protection unit (SNPC) was able to receive... view more... (2003-08-20)
