One of the biggest problems in fighting breast cancer is the lack of inexpensive, early detection diagnostic tools. view more (2006-04-04)
Measuring fetal oxygen does not reduce Caesarean rate, researchers find
Measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood of a fetus during labor has no bearing on whether a Caesarean section is performed and does not affect the health of the newborn baby, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in a multicenter study. view more (2006-11-27)
Nanodiamond drug device could transform cancer treatment
A Northwestern University research team has developed a promising nanomaterial-based biomedical device that could be used to deliver chemotherapy drugs locally to sites where cancerous tumors have been surgically removed. view more (2008-10-03)
Molecular spintronic action confirmed in nanostructure
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first confirmed "spintronic" device incorporating organic molecules, a potentially superior approach for innovative electronics that rely on the spin, and associated magnetic orientation, of electrons. view more (2006-10-13)
A revolution in the monitoring of unborn babies
New technology, the size of a mobile phone, which could save the life of an unborn child, has been developed by scientists from The University of Nottingham. view more (2007-04-27)
New reflux disease technology more comfortable, not more effective
A wireless device that measures the acidity of stomach contents backwashed into the esophagus allows patients to avoid some of the nose pain and throat discomfort associated with the conventional wired monitor used to manage hard-to-treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. view more (2006-07-11)
Safe decay detector developed by dentists and textile experts
Tooth decay could soon be detected without resorting to potentially harmful X-rays - by using a novel electrical technique developed by dental researchers at the University of Dundee in an unusual partnership with textile experts at Heriot Watt University. Laboratory tests show the device, which measures the electrical resistance of teeth, is... view more... (2002-03-20)
Smokeless cannabis delivery device efficient and less toxic
A smokeless cannabis-vaporizing device delivers the same level of active therapeutic chemical and produces the same biological effect as smoking cannabis, but without the harmful toxins, according to UCSF researchers. view more (2007-05-16)
Device prevents potential errors in children's medications
A device designed to eliminate mistakes made while mixing compounds at a hospital pharmacy was 100 percent accurate in identifying the proper formulations of seven intravenous drugs. view more (2008-01-09)
Single-Crystal Semiconductor Wire Built into an Optical Fiber
An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices... view more... (2008-03-13)
Dental device gets the measure of sensitive teeth
An innovative device that painlessly detects and measures tooth sensitivity is being commercially developed by a University of Leeds company. D-Sense Ltd, launched this week, backed by an initial £250,000 equity investment by the White Rose Technology Seedcorn Fund (WRTSF). The device is based on a diagnostic technique patented by Professor... view more... (2002-03-01)
Water testing device could save lives in developing countries
Young engineer Richard Brown has won a national award for an invention which could save lives in developing countries. Richard, 22, who graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne earlier this year in Civil and Environmental Engineering, has created a simple device for testing whether water supplies contain dangerous levels of bacteria.... view more...

CU researchers shed light on light-emitting nanodevice
An interdisciplinary team of Cornell nanotechnology researchers has unraveled some of the fundamental physics of a material that holds promise for light-emitting, flexible semiconductors. view more (2007-10-09)
Texas Children's discharges first pediatric patient with implanted mechanical heart device
Texas Children's Hospital is the nation's first pediatric hospital to discharge a child while on an intracorporeal ventricular assist device (VAD), a feat previously accomplished only at adult institutions. view more (2009-11-12)
NIST micro sensor and micro fridge make cool pair
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have combined two tiny but powerful NIST inventions on a single microchip, a cryogenic sensor and a microrefrigerator. The combination offers the possibility of cheaper, simpler and faster precision analysis of materials such as semiconductors and stardust. view more (2008-04-16)
MIT device could prevent epileptic seizures
Researchers at MIT are developing a device that could detect and prevent epileptic seizures before they become debilitating. view more (2006-09-13)
An implanted nerve stimulator helps drop foot sufferers walk faster and better
The partners in EUREKA project E! 2526 IMPULSE have developed an implanted nerve stimulator which helps patients with drop foot to walk much better. Over 500,000 people suffer from a stroke each year in Europe and 10% of stroke victims are left with drop foot, which causes severe walking problems. view more (2005-02-15)
ANALYTICA 2004: The 5 Minute PCR
At Analytica 2004, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of its modular kit for a "chip-based lab". Thanks to the special microfluidic system and a miniaturized tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproduceable polymerase chain reactions in less than five... view more...
