Digital Ant Colony System
Whoever thinks that ants are only erratic little beings, whose incessant wanderings are pointless or obey no kind of universal order, is very much mistaken. Their society is so organized and complex that it is already being used as a model for the creation of algorithms, adaptable to a variety of scientific areas. Inspired by the work of Chialvo... view more... (2002-09-30)

Making Shipyards More Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
Shipyards used to repair and convert existing vessels are set to become more efficient and environmentally friendly with the help of a grant of EUR2,151,000 (euros) from the EU's Framework Programme. SHIPMATES (SHIPrepair to MAintain Transport which is Environmentally Sustainable) is a three year project to provide a blueprint for a... view more... (2004-09-15)
Biomimetics: Transferring Technology From Nature - Philosophical Transactions Of The Royal Society A Vol. 360, No. 1791 - Cover Date 15 February 2002
Biomimetics - natural design This issue of Transactions A, a Royal Society journal, addresses the emerging and vibrant multidisciplinary field of biomimetics. The idea that natural systems may have design elements that can be used in manufactured technology is not new, Leonardo da Vinci based many of his inventions on natural mechanisms, and more... view more...

Firefly's light can help us spot life in space
The luminescent substances of the firefly, luciferase, is used today in various forms of bioanalysis, but it is temperature sensitive. Jonas Eiksson, a doctoral student at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH), has managed to get the substance to function at higher temperatures, which can yield more certain DNA analyses. In the... view more... (2004-03-05)
