Tackling Drunk-driving
There are no in-car methods of detecting that a driver is too drunk to drive - until now. A team at Bristol University, led by physiologist Dr Dilwyn Marple-Horvat, has found a new way of detecting whether a driver has drunk too much to be fit to be at the wheel. To assess a driver`s fitness to drive, a new device has been created that measures... view more... (2002-03-07)
'Artificial Golgi' may provide new insight into key cell structure
Scientists in New York and North Carolina are reporting assembly of the first functioning prototype of an artificial Golgi organelle. view more (2009-07-29)
NEW DEVICE COULD REVOLUTIONISE CORONARY-ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY
A new surgical device that has been used by a Swiss medical team could greatly reduce the time and skill required for coronary-artery bypass surgery, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter available from THE LANCET's website today (Monday 19 March 2001). Friedrich Eckstein, Thierry Carrel, and colleagues from University Hospital, Bern,... view more... (2001-03-16)
Liquid cooling with microfluidic channels helps computer processors beat the heat
A new technique for fabricating liquid cooling channels onto the backs of high-performance integrated circuits could allow denser packaging of chips while providing better temperature control and improved reliability. view more (2005-06-21)

Scientists design a tool for detection of rogue molecules “on the run”
A research group of the Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, MC2, at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has developed an ultra-sensitive device for detecting the presence of organic molecules present in space. Organic material as far away from us as many thousands of light years can be discovered this way. The sensor, which... view more... (2002-04-16)
Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute Trials Implantable Device to Manage Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms
Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is one of seven programs in the country participating in new study aimed at improving the heart's pumping action and helping to manage congestive heart failure symptoms. view more (2008-10-09)
Women less likely to receive heart device therapy but survive with it longer than men
Women with heart failure are less likely than men to receive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) - an implantable device shown to enhance quality of life for people with heart failure; yet women who get CRT live longer than men who get it. view more (2005-11-16)
Double-checking for cleanliness
Spotless surfaces are of prime importance in the plastics and metal processing industries, as dust and dirt can impair the function and adhesive properties of parts. A portable measuring device, the KombiSens, can detect both types of contamination. view more (2004-10-25)

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have published results showing that a new contraceptive device may also effectively block the transmission of the HIV virus. view more (2009-05-20)
Tiny spectrometer offers precision laser calibration
A tiny device for calibrating or stabilizing precision lasers has been designed and demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-05-14)
Innovative device to treat brain cancer shows promise in early studies
New early data showed that an investigational device that specifically targets rapidly growing cancer cells with intermediate frequency electrical fields -- called Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) -- more than doubled the median overall survival rates in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive type of... view more...

Making proteins glow blue
In the beginning, there was protein. 19th-century scientists at least believed that this group of organic compounds were based on some kind of primeval matter. Therefore they named them "proteins" - derived from the Greek word "protos" (the first). It is meanwhile known that the structure of proteins is ultimately determined by... view more... (2003-09-18)

University of Miami physicist develops battery using new source of energy
Researchers at the University of Miami and at the Universities of Tokyo and Tohoku, Japan, have been able to prove the existence of a "spin battery," a battery that is "charged" by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). view more (2009-03-12)
Star-shaped metal clip takes novel approach to closing artery punctures
A metal clip that closes an arterial puncture by drawing the wound edges together like a drawstring stitch is proving an easy and effective way to speed patient recovery after coronary interventions. view more (2005-09-12)
