UCI scientists use nanotechnology to create world's fastest method for transmitting information in cell phones and computers
UC Irvine scientists in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering have demonstrated for the first time that carbon nanotubes can route electrical signals on a chip faster than traditional copper or aluminum wires, at speeds of up to 10 GHz.    view more (2005-06-10)

Nanoribbons from sliced open nanotubes: new, faster, more accurate method from Stanford
A world of potential may lie tied up in graphene nanoribbons, particularly for electronics applications. But researchers have been hampered in their efforts to fully explore that potential because they had no reliable way of creating the large quantities of uniform nanoribbons needed to conduct extensive studies.   view more (2009-04-16)

Astronomers catch a star being revved-up
Researchers have witnessed a star being transformed into an object that spins at almost 600 times a second using telescopes in the USA and the Netherlands, and CSIRO's Parkes telescope in Australia.   view more (2009-05-22)

Screaming CMEs Warn of Radiation Storms
A CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) is a solar body slam to our high-tech civilization. CMEs begin when the sun launches a billion tons of electrically conducting gas (plasma) into space at millions of miles per hour.   view more (2007-05-29)

NC State study shows bird population estimates are flawed
Most of what we know about bird populations stems from surveys conducted by professional biologists and amateur birdwatchers, but new research from North Carolina State University shows that the data from those surveys may be seriously flawed - and proposes possible means to resolve the problem.   view more (2008-11-21)

Carbon nanotube measurements: latest in NIST 'how-to' series
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has published detailed guidelines for making essential measurements on samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The new guide constitutes the current "best practices" for characterizing one... view more... (2008-04-16)

NTU & SIMTech announce the first antenna-in-package solution for single-chip 60-GHz radio
Researchers at Nanyang Technology University (NTU) and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) have successfully developed the first Antenna-in-Package (AiP) solution in LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramic) technology for single-chip 60-GHz radio.   view more (2008-10-22)

New Optical Antenna Brings Massive Benefits to Wireless Networks, Household Electronics and Longer Distance Data Transfer
A new optical antenna, developed by researchers at the University of Warwick, will bring significant benefits to credit card payments, wireless networks, household electronics and longer distance data transfer. The device was developed by Professor Roger Green and Roberto Ramirez-Iniguez, in the University of Warwick`s Engineering Department. It... view more... (2002-11-07)

Radio Frequency tagging for preventing theft and tracking stocks
Tagging individual items with barely noticeable disposable electronic circuits that can be detected with a radio wave scanner is becoming increasingly common, with over 4 billion circuits sold last year. There are many applications where tags are currently in use. Manufacturers and distributors use hand-held radio frequency tagging to track stock,... view more... (2003-06-03)

Titan's pebbles 'seen' by Huygens radio
An unexpected radio reflection from the surface of Titan has allowed ESA scientists to deduce the average size of stones and pebbles close to the Huygens' landing site. The technique could be used on other lander missions to analyse planetary surfaces for free.   view more (2006-07-26)

Carbon nanotubes to be replaced by MoSIx nanowires in high-tech devices says new study
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future. Applications cited for carbon nanotubes range from super fast computers and ultra small electronics through to materials that are lightweight yet super strong and tougher than diamond.   view more (2007-11-26)

My A Level Results Were Disappointing, But Now I'm A Rocket Scientist!
When Jay Butcher (22) received his A level results, he was shocked and disappointed. Despite originally thinking that he would have to re-sit an entire year, Jay took his tutor's advice, looked at the University clearing system, got a place at the University of Surrey, and earlier this year graduated in Aerospace Engineering with a 2:2.... view more...
