Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a reliable, reproducible method for parallel fabrication of multiple nanogap electrodes, a development crucial to the creation of mass-produced nanoscale electronics.   view more (2007-08-17)

Safety Device To Help Protect Toddlers From Danger
PARENTS or carers who want to protect adventurous children from wandering out of sight and into potential danger can soon use a security device which has been partly developed by a group of electronic experts at Staffordshire University. Crecheguard has been produced by Planescheme Ltd, a company based in Prees, north Shropshire, and has utilised... view more... (2002-11-04)

Open Systems - Mutual Understanding Without Limits
The universal open system technology has been developed by Russian researchers with support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). The new technology will help to finally achieve mutual understanding between computers even if one of them thinks and speaks the Unix... view more... (2004-12-20)

First steps to EMBO research awards agreed by the EMBC
At the summer meeting of the European Molecular Biology Conference (the EMBC), it was decided to initiate the process of launching an EMBO Research Award Programme. This would be a major expansion of the EMBO activities that are predominantly funded by the EMBC. As such, it requires the establishment of a special project, a process that was used... view more...
