MIT develops 'Anklebot' for stroke patients
Clinical trials have already shown that an MIT robotic arm can help stroke patients regain movement faster. Now MIT pioneers in the field of robotic therapy are hoping a robotic gym full of machines targeted at different parts of the body will significantly improve stroke patients' movement in arms, wrists, hands, legs and ankles. view more (2005-07-06)
Step forward for nanotechnology: Controlled movement of molecules
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting an advance toward overcoming one of the key challenges in nanotechnology: Getting molecules to move quickly in a desired direction without help from outside forces. view more (2009-10-01)
Bird brains suggest how vocal learning evolved
Though they perch far apart on the avian family tree, birds with the ability to learn songs use similar brain structures to sing their tunes. Neurobiologists at Duke University Medical Center now have an explanation for this puzzling likeness. view more (2008-03-12)
Scientists step closer to realising invisible technology
A unique computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range. view more (2007-05-04)
Study suggests loss of 2 types of neurons -- not just 1 -- triggers Parkinson's symptoms
New evidence indicates that the loss of two types of brain cells--not just one as previously thought--may trigger the onset of symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. view more (2007-08-14)
Touching outlawed by hands-free monitor - Photon02
A Loughborough University research team, led by Professor Peter Smith and Vincent Crabtree, has developed a way of monitoring the blood flowing in human body tissue without actually touching the skin. This hands-free technique could one day be used to assess patients during surgery and monitor the healing of wounds or burns. Other applications... view more... (2002-08-30)
Tobacco exposure in womb may slow arousal response and help explain increased cot death risk among babies of smokers
A slower arousal response, as a result of tobacco exposure in the womb, might explain the increased risk of cot death (SIDS) among babies of smokers, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-12-17)
Grouping muscles to make controlling limbs easier
With more than 30 muscles in your arm, controlling movement -- whether it's grasping a glass or throwing a baseball -- is a complex task that potentially takes into account thousands of variables. view more (2009-04-21)
new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded. view more (2005-09-13)
Wii-hab may enhance Parkinson's treatment
The Nintendo Wii may help treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including depression, a Medical College of Georgia researcher says. view more (2009-06-12)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Guidance of Primordial Germ Cell Migration by the Chemokine SDF-1
Identification of the molecular cues governing cell migration is of major importance for the understanding of tissue and organ development and for therapy in cases of diseases resulting from aberrant cell movement. Primordial Germ Cell (PGC) migration is a useful model for studying directional cell movement. During embryonic development, PGCs have... view more... (2002-11-27)
Nano-machines achieve huge mechanical breakthrough
A major advance in nanotechnology with far-reaching potential benefits in medicine and other fields is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin. view more (2005-09-07)
Sporty Sperm: A Stiff One Gets the Job Done More Quickly
A scientist who studies the phsyics of sperm "as a hobby" is challenging the current understanding of how sperm swim towards an egg. At the Society for Experimental Biology conference today Dr Christopher Lowe will present the results of his modelling of a sperm`s tail, suggesting we may need to re-think our assumptions of how sperm move through... view more...

Marine snail's neural network sheds light on the basis for flexible behavior
By studying how a relatively simple motor network of the marine snail Aplysia produces variants of a particular feeding behavior, researchers have found that the ability to generate a large number of behavioral variants stems from the elegant hierarchical architecture of the brain's motor network. view more (2005-10-11)

Ocean floor geysers warm flowing sea water
An international team of earth scientists report movement of warmed sea water through the flat, Pacific Ocean floor off Costa Rica. The movement is greater than that off midocean volcanic ridges. The finding suggests possible marine life in a part of the ocean once considered barren. view more (2008-09-23)

Movement of Earth's North Magnetic Pole Accelerating Rapidly
After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth's North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from northern Canada to Siberia within the next half-century. view more (2005-12-12)
How Do Bacteria Swim? Brown Physicists Explain
Imagine yourself swimming in a pool: It's the movement of your arms and legs, not the viscosity of the water, that mostly dictates the speed and direction that you swim. view more (2008-11-20)
