Expert says nanotechnology should look to Mother Nature
Professor Richard Jones of the University of Sheffield has today outlined the possibilities of using nature's secrets to develop nanotechnology, and casts doubt on some popular assumptions about the science, including the premise that we may create nano-robots with the power to reduce the world to 'grey goo'. Professor Jones is internationally... view more... (2004-08-11)

The ecological carton for 2005
ISURPAK has announced that it will have the first packaging machine for its ecological carton by the middle of 2005. The first prototype is to be developed by a consortium in which the engineering group IDOM is participating. This first machine will be able to fill 25 packs per minute - particularly suitable for small- and medium-sized production... view more... (2004-09-08)

Live recordings of cell communication
A new advanced method for nano-scale imaging of vesicle-fusion - vesicles are biological nano-sized containers - could add to our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and viral infections.   view more (2009-08-06)

TU Delft starts new course: Media & Knowledge Technology
In September 2001 TU Delft will start a new course in media and knowledge technology. The course is about the communication between man and machine. Students will learn how they can use text, speech, video and other media types in communications design. The course relates to the recent developments in internet and mobile communication, and to the... view more... (2001-03-30)

Martin Bell MP to Launch New Machine Designed to Take on the Most Impossible Mine Fields
Martin Bell MP is to make a special visit to the University of Warwick on Monday 6th July to launch a new machine designed to take on some of the toughest mine fields in the world and help return those mined areas to agricultural use by the local people. Called Tempest the sturdy car sized machine is designed to take on almost impossibly... view more... (1998-06-28)

Virginia Tech researcher reports nano-particle dispersion technique improves polymers
There is a lot of excitement about incorporating nano particles into polymers because of the ability to improve various properties with only a small percent of the particles.   view more (2005-08-30)

VTT technology helps in the assembly of microscopic components
Nowadays, micro-sized components that are invisible to the human eye are already being used both in electronics products and elsewhere. Components range from a millimetre to a micrometre in size and are getting even smaller. VTT has developed a unique prototype machine viewer system for use in the assembly and quality inspection of parts in this... view more... (2001-12-05)

Controversial "beating heart" method proves better than standard procedure
Patients needing second-time or "re-do" heart surgery have a new safer alternative. New findings show that an "off-pump" surgical procedure is performed safely and has improved outcomes for patients than traditional methods.   view more (2004-09-26)

Machine vision can assist
Machine vision provides a unique capability for understanding human actions. Based on a passive sensing technology, it allows for the coverage of large areas with a single sensor, without need for physical contact. Professor Matti Pietik'¤inen is in charge of the machine vision research team whose aim it is to equip the environment with several... view more... (2005-04-07)

'Beating' heart machine expedites research and development of new surgical tools, techniques
A new machine developed at North Carolina State University makes an animal heart pump much like a live heart after it has been removed from the animal's body, allowing researchers to expedite the development of new tools and techniques for heart surgery.   view more (2009-05-12)

Technological competence not sufficient for success in the digital gaming machine industry
