New gene for dyslexia located
No gene for dyslexia has been isolated until now, although scientists have long suspected a genetic basis for the disorder and have even roughly mapped the region of the brain likely to be involved. The researchers anticipate that they will now be able to clone the genetic sequence and so gain important insights into the processes involved in... view more... (1999-09-02)
Investigating causes of asthma attacks: New sensor system monitors environmental exposure
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a sensor system that continuously monitors the air around persons prone to asthma attacks. Worn in the pockets of a vest, the new system could help researchers understand the causes of asthma attacks. view more (2008-01-23)
Team develops energy-efficient microchip
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. view more (2008-02-05)
New Materials offer Solution to Energy Storage
A scientist from the University of St. Andrews will describe the results of more than fifteen years of research, to be published in the journal 'Nature' on 2 August, which could change the way we power battery driven devices in the future. Rechargeable lithium batteries have been a major technological success in recent years. They are critical to... view more... (2001-07-31)
Microscopic sea creatures provide foundation for gas sensors and other devices
The three-dimensional shells of tiny ocean creatures could provide the foundation for novel electronic devices, including gas sensors able to detect pollution faster and more efficiently than conventional devices. view more (2007-03-12)
Pitt researchers develop less risky treatment for depression, seizures
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, with the help of a team of Pittsburgh high school science teachers, have developed a wireless device that is implanted in the neck to fight depression and epileptic seizures. view more (2006-01-20)
Smaller heart pump bridges time to transplant for more women
A small, implantable device that helps the heart pump blood works equally well for men and women but may benefit twice as many women awaiting transplants. view more (2007-11-05)
MRIs made safe for people with modern defibrillators and pacemakers
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have painstakingly figured out how to safely perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on men and women who have any one of 24 modern types of implanted defibrillators and pacemakers. view more (2006-09-19)
Copper nanowires grown by new process create long-lasting displays
A new low-temperature, catalyst-free technique for growing copper nanowires has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. The copper nanowires could serve as interconnects in electronic device fabrication and as electron emitters in a television-like, very thin flat-panel display known as a field-emission display. view more (2008-04-29)
'Smart' sunglasses and goggles let users adjust shade and color
Imagine a single pair of glasses with lenses that can be transparent or dark, and in shades of yellow, green or purple, all on command. A new lens with chameleon powers promises to dramatically improve sunglasses' function. view more (2007-03-28)
