Researchers using Arecibo Telescope discover never-before-seen pulsar blasts in Crab Nebula
Astronomers and physicists using the Cornell-managed Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico have discovered radio interpulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar that feature never-before-seen radio emission spectra. This leads scientists to speculate this could be the first cosmic object with a third magnetic pole.   view more (2007-01-09)

Beagle 2 - Media Briefing on latest communication attempts
Venue: The Science Media Centre, the Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS Date: 26 January 2004 Time: 1400 GMT. Registration: 13.45 GMT On 12 January a period of radio silence was initiated when no attempts were made to contact Beagle 2. Maintaining radio silence for a period of ten days is intended to force... view more... (2004-01-21)

Movies show nanotubes bend like sluggish guitar strings
In an exciting advance in nanotechnology imaging, Rice University scientists have discovered a way to use standard optical microscopes and video cameras to film individual carbon nanotubes — tiny cylinders of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA.   view more (2006-06-28)

Memory in artificial atoms
Three of our nano-physicists have made a discovery that can change the way we store data on our computers. This means that in the future we can store data much faster, and more accurate. Their discovery has been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics.   view more (2008-04-08)

NIST laser-based method cleans up grubby nanotubes
Before carbon nanotubes can fulfill their promise as ultrastrong fibers, electrical wires in molecular devices, or hydrogen storage components for fuel cells, better methods are needed for purifying raw nanotube materials.   view more (2006-12-26)

New communications technology is looking good
High-tech is turning to high fashion as devices such as mobile phones and personal organisers are increasingly expected to look good as well as work well. Researchers at the University of York are working on technical solutions for small and increasingly mobile devices. People in today`s fast-moving digital world want to be able to access... view more... (2002-06-17)

Media invite: Live performances and debates at `Sounding Out` - an international symposium on sound.
Journalists are invited to the first ever international symposium on sound being held at Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (July 11 - 13). The event will bring together film and radio professionals with academics to debate the role of sound in today`s media. The media may be particularly interested in... view more... (2002-07-09)

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) For Car Radios
Fraunhofer IIS presented the first DRM chip design for car radios. This car radio solution will enable drivers to select their preferred radio program from hundreds of different radio stations. However, it is something more than purely listening to favorite music: the new radio formats offer multilingual support to ethnic news or talk programs. In... view more... (2005-01-10)

USC researchers print dense lattice of transparent nanotube transistors on flexible base
It's a clear, colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it using a potentially inexpensive low-temperature process.   view more (2008-12-17)

German Government funds digital broadcasting in short, medium and long wave
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (bmb+f) will fund the project Radiomondo. During the next three years developments for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will be supported with 3.9 million Euro. The project consortium consists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS-A, Deutsche Telekom AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Sony... view more... (2002-01-11)

Skid Marks in the Galaxy - Astronomers localise galactic particle accelerator
Radio galaxies are amongst the most luminous celestial objects - however, they mainly emit radio waves, not light. These occur when electrically charged particles travelling at almost the speed of light are slowed down, thereby losing energy. Until recently it was not known exactly where the particles reach such high speeds. A group of scientists... view more... (2002-10-16)

Researchers develop darkest manmade material

UCLA physicists create world's smallest incandescent lamp
In an effort to explore the boundary between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics - two fundamental yet seemingly incompatible theories of physics - a team from the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has created the world's smallest incandescent lamp.   view more (2009-05-07)

Nanotubes act as 'thermal Velcro' to reduce computer-chip heating
Engineers have created carpets made of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where computer chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks, promising to help keep future chips from overheating.   view more (2006-05-03)

Radio waves fire up nanotubes embedded in tumors, destroying liver cancer
Cancer cells treated with carbon nanotubes can be destroyed by non-invasive radio waves that heat up the nanotubes while sparing untreated tissue, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Rice University has shown in preclinical experiments.   view more (2007-11-02)

Software-defined radio simplifies mobile phones
Mobile phones are getting more and more complicated. One reason is that a new radio is needed for each standard-GSM, 3G, and WLAN. A simpler solution, a radio that can be programmed to cover all standards, is now being developed at the Stringent Research Center at Linköping University in Sweden. "We have come up with three concepts... view more... (2004-04-19)

Nanotube formation: researchers learn to control the dimensions of metal oxide nanotubes
Moving beyond carbon nanotubes, researchers are developing insights into a remarkable class of tubular nanomaterials that can be produced in water with a high degree of control over their diameter and length.   view more (2007-08-24)

Cassini cameras spot powerful new lightning storm on Saturn
Following the recent detection of Saturnian radio bursts by NASA's Cassini spacecraft that indicated a rare and powerful atmospheric storm, Cassini imaging scientists have spotted the storm in an unlikely fashion: they looked for it in the dark.   view more (2006-02-15)
