'Double crystal fusion' could pave the way for portable device
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a tabletop accelerator that produces nuclear fusion at room temperature, providing confirmation of an earlier experiment conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), while offering substantial improvements over the original design. view more (2006-02-14)
How to save cost for esophageal varices?
Patients with cirrhosis of the liver develop abnormally dilated blood vessels in esophagus. These are called esophageal varices. Blood vomiting may occur from the rupture of these varices, which may be fatal, so it is important to eradicate these varices. view more (2008-05-21)
New device detects heart disease using less than one drop of blood
Testing people for heart disease might be just a finger prick away thanks to a new credit card-sized device created by a team of researchers from Harvard and Northeastern universities in Boston. view more (2009-06-02)
Lending a helping arm
Cambridge engineers develop new system to help disabled peopleA group of engineers at the University of Cambridge has designed a new device to give a ‘helping arm’ to people with muscular weaknesses such as muscular dystrophy or motor neurone disease. The device, which can be attached to the back of a wheelchair, supports the weight of... view more... (2001-05-15)

Northwestern researchers develop bistable nanoswitch
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been under intense study by scientists all over the world for more than a decade and are being thought of as ideal building blocks for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). view more (2006-10-16)
Safety device for tall buildings
The device, called `Life-Saver` by the designers, looks like a big badminton shuttlecock. A shock-absorbing cushion connected to two thick torus rings (bagels) covered by a special material, serves as the bean of this shuttlecock. When folded the `Life-Saver` looks like a solid base backpack or a knapsack. When required, a person puts it on the... view more... (2001-12-25)
Quantum ghosts are helpful
The idea that far distant particles can somehow 'talk' to each other worried Einstein so much that he called it 'spooky action at a distance'. view more (2009-04-28)
Device Protects Transplanted Pancreatic Cells from the Immune System
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) and the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) School of Medicine have demonstrated in mice that transplanted pancreatic precursor cells are protected from the immune system when encapsulated in polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE). view more (2009-04-10)
Boosting lung power - the key to athletic success
As the England team celebrates success in the Commonwealth Games, UK scientists are developing new technologies that could further boost athletes' performances by training their breathing muscles. The muscles that draw air into our lungs are crucial to ensuring that the rest of the body receives a good supply of oxygen-rich blood - yet these... view more... (2002-08-05)
Fresh air for asthmatics
A revolutionary device that could protect asthmatics from stifling air pollution has gone on show at the Science Museum. in London. The PUREbreathe, a plastic device containing high tech filters to be worn in the mouth, has been unveiled as one of the star exhibits in the Science of Sport exhibition, the Science Museum's latest blockbuster... view more...

New design for transistors powered by single electrons
Scientists have demonstrated the first reproducible, controllable silicon transistors that are turned on and off by the motion of individual electrons. view more (2006-02-03)
Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step forward to controlled nuclear fusion. The device... view more... (2003-09-05)
On a 'roll': MIT researchers devise new cell-sorting system
Capitalizing on a cell's ability to roll along a surface, MIT researchers have developed a simple, inexpensive system to sort different kinds of cells - a process that could result in low-cost tools to test for diseases such as cancer, even in remote locations. view more (2008-03-10)
Smaller heart pump bridges time to transplant for more women
A small, implantable device that helps the heart pump blood works equally well for men and women but may benefit twice as many women awaiting transplants. view more (2007-11-05)
Keeping cool in a war zone: Device promises relief for desert soldiers
One of the deadliest obstacles soldiers in desert war zones have to face is heat. The gear soldiers wear and carry can contribute 10 additional degrees to the outside temperature, a dangerously significant increase on a 95-degree day, for instance. view more (2006-05-11)
Studies show novel device may enhance chemotherapy treatment in brain tumors
NovoCure Ltd. presented results yesterday evaluating the Novo-TTF device in vitro and in a pilot clinical trial that showed the device enhanced the efficacy of standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) treatment in newly-diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. view more (2008-11-25)
Instants In The Flow - Request Stop
The Novosibirsk researchers have developed a device capable of producing mist with support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). The precise name of the device is "field device for measuring liquid and gas velocities". It helps to perform prompt, precise... view more... (2005-02-14)
