Scientists debate the neurobiological underpinnings of amnesia
A first kiss, an exotic vacation, a sports team championship, a child's first words: all are memorable events. But when someone has amnesia, have the memories been completely purged from the brain or are they simply irretrievable? Is amnesia a defect in memory storage, or memory recovery?   view more (2006-10-04)

Robotic telescope unravels mystery of cosmic blasts
Scientists have used the world's largest robotic telescope to make the earliest-ever measurement of the optical polarisation* of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) just 203 seconds after the start of the cosmic explosion. This finding, which provides new insight into GRB physics, is published in Science today... view more (2007-03-19)

Nano-cages 'fill up' with hydrogen
A "cagey" strategy to stack more hydrogen in nanoscale scaffoldings made of zinc-based boxes may yield a viable approach to storing hydrogen and, ultimately, replacing fossil fuels in future automobiles, according to new results from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)... view more (2005-12-02)

Gold bowties may shed light on molecules and other nano-sized objects
One of the great challenges in the field of nanotechnology is optical imaging-specifically, how to design a microscope that produces high-resolution images of the nano-sized objects that researchers are trying to study.   view more (2005-08-31)

NIST releases new standard for semiconductor industry
A wide range of optical electronic devices, from laser disk players to traffic lights, may be improved in the future thanks to a small piece of semiconductor, about the size of a button, coated with aluminum, gallium, and arsenic (AlGaAs).   view more (2006-10-13)

New NIST detector can 'see' single neutrons over broad range
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have developed a new optical method that can detect individual neutrons and record them over a range of intensities at least a hundred times greater than existing detectors.   view more (2008-03-11)

Underpinning the technological revolution - ISIS marks 20 years of science research
Today (Thursday 16 December 2004) ISIS, the world-leading science facility at the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, is celebrating 20 years of scientific research since the first neutrons were produced on 16 December 1984. Neutrons are an extremely versatile probe used by... view more (2004-12-16)

Tiny holes will have huge telecomms impact
Tiny holes just thousandths of a millimetre in size look set to revolutionise the world of telecommunications within the next few years. As internet use grows and businesses and activities like electronic shopping become increasingly international, our need to be able to send vast quantities of... view more (2001-03-12)

Measuring invisible reflections
The race is on for chip manufacturers. Many of them plan to open chip fabrication facilities employing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation between up until 2010. This trend is being driven by advances in photolithography in which increasingly shorter wavelengths enable the production of even finer... view more (2003-07-25)

Removal of Nitrogen from Motor Exhaust Sulfur-resistant process
Who doesn’t want to save fuel? Vehicles with lean-burning engines are therefore gaining ground. These engines work with excess air and can run on noticeably less fuel. This spares thewallet of the frequent driver, and also releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However,these... view more (2000-08-16)

UCLA researchers solve decade-old mystery
Environmentally friendly hydrogen gas fueled vehicles can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependence on sources of fossil fuel. Though several hydrogen vehicles exist on the market today, there is still much room for improvement in the way that hydrogen is... view more (2008-02-27)

UCLA Engineering Announces Breakthrough in Silicon Photonics Devices
Building on a series of recent breakthroughs in silicon photonics, researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a novel approach to silicon devices that combines light amplification with a photovoltaic — or solar panel — effect.   view more (2006-06-29)

New minimally invasive sampling technique allows for earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
A new optical technology, coupled with routine endoscopy, may enable doctors to detect the subtle tell-tale traces of early pancreatic cancer.   view more (2007-08-02)

A new magnetic phenomenon may improve RAM memories and the storage capacity of hard drives
The application of 'displaced vortex states'-small magnetic circular movements of just a few thousandths of a millimetre-may accelerate the arrival of a new type of magnetic memory (MRAM) that does not disappear when a computer is switched off.   view more (2006-03-03)

Networks of competence increase economic value added and create employment

Seeing clearly despite the clouds
Satellites taking atmospheric measurements might now be able to see blue skies as clearly as optimists do. Researchers have found a way to reduce cloud-induced glare when satellites measure blue skies on cloudy days, by as much as ten-fold in some cases.   view more (2008-05-21)

Optical 'frequency comb' can detect the breath of disease
Exhale on a cold winter day and you will see the water vapor coming out of your mouth. Light up your breath with a Nobel-Prize-related tool, and you could potentially detect trace amounts of over 1,000 compounds, some of which provide early warning signs of disease.   view more (2008-02-20)
