To locate images on the Internet, search engines like Yahoo or Google carry out their search based on text. The name or description that is sought is set in written form so that the search engine may carry out its function.   view more (2004-05-25)

Search engine experts look forwards to completely digital lives and backwards to Washington's letters
A conference at the University of Sheffield is set to celebrate ten years since the first Web search engines, and will reveal some of the capabilities of search engines of the future, and the way that our use of computers will lead them to new ways of archiving and retrieving information.... view more (2004-07-23)

IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic.   view more (2006-08-08)

Adding more meaning from place searches
Trawling the web for place-related information is tedious at the best of times. A new search engine, being tested in Europe, recognises geographical terminology and has the intelligence to understand the searches and match them to places.   view more (2005-02-14)

Swift searching for open source
Finding the open source code you need can often seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with the development of the AMOS search engine finding your way through today's maze of software code has just become considerably easier.

ESA and ANU make space propulsion breakthrough
The European Space Agency and the Australian National University have successfully tested a new design of spacecraft ion engine that dramatically improves performance over present thrusters and marks a major step forward in space propulsion capability.   view more (2006-01-12)

University of Leicester engineers seek new way to control engine friction
An innovative engine testing rig is being developed in the Engineering Department at the University of Leicester. The rig will be used to study friction in engines, which is one of the main sources of inefficiency and energy loss. Frictional losses occur in all automotive engines, primarily in the... view more (2003-11-06)

Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same.   view more (2007-12-10)

An eco-friendly car engine that doesn't stall on performance
A novel type of engine which aims to use less fuel and reduce noxious emissions without detracting from the car's performance is being developed thanks to an investment of £93,500 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that champions UK... view more (2004-11-18)

Study shows Google favored over other search engines by webmasters
Web site policy makers who use robots.txt files as gatekeepers to specify what is open and what is off limits to Web crawlers have a bias that favors Google over other search engines, say Penn State researchers whose study of more than 7,500 Web sites revealed Google's advantage.   view more (2007-11-16)

Vulcain 2 engine now in full production
A small ceremony took place yesterday at the site of Snecma Moteurs in Vernon, France, to mark the beginning of industrial production of the Vulcain 2 engine, designed for the new Ariane 5 ECA and Ariane 5 ES ATV launchers.   view more (2005-04-05)

First Cluster apogee burn completed
The long, complex process required to elongate the orbits of the first twoCluster spacecraft has begun. The Cluster mission control centre at the European Space Operations Centre(ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, has confirmed that the apogee raising manoeuvre #1was completed successfully early this... view more (2000-07-17)

Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879.   view more (2008-09-18)

The mini that roared
ANTIPOLLUTION laws have taken all the fun out of driving, according to two American inventors who miss the meaty roar of engines. Their answer? A car radio that plays the throaty sound of the classic car of your choice in synch with your driving. So any rusting old hatchback can sound like a... view more (2002-09-20)

New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree.   view more (2007-07-25)

Online game feeds music search engine project at UC San Diego
UC San Diego electrical engineers and computer scientists are working together on a computerized system that will make it easy for people who are not music experts (like the senior author's mom) to find the kind of music they want to listen to - without knowing the names of artists or songs.   view more (2007-09-26)

Key science Web sites buried in information avalanche
As more and more people are turning to the Internet to find information, important science websites are in danger of becoming buried in the sheer avalanche of facts now available online. Key science sites are failing to register in the top 30 Google search results.   view more (2007-03-22)

UK academic to accelerate Formula 1 engine development
A method of collecting data for engine performance analysis described as “revolutionary” by industry experts has secured a Leeds academic £250,000 venture capital to develop its commercial potential.   view more (2001-12-18)

"Anti" sites most likely to come up first during Internet searches on vaccination
Almost half of the first top 10 websites displayed by leading search engines on vaccination are emotive "anti" sites, finds a study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Many masquerade as official scientific sites, making it easier for users to be misinformed, say the authors. The... view more (2002-06-25)

ESA develops a smarter way to travel through space
As scientists demand more from space missions travelling to other worlds and beyond, traditional rocket technologies are beginning to show shortcomings. In response, ESA are helping to develop a new type of rocket engine, known as solar-electric propulsion, or more commonly, an ion engine, that can... view more (2002-06-11)
