A new system preserves the right to privacy in Internet searches
A team of Catalan researchers has developed a protocol to distort the user profile generated by Internet search engines, in such a way that they cannot save the searches undertaken by Internet users and thus preserve their privacy. The study has been published in the Computer Communications magazine. view more (2009-11-06)

"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 researchers keyed in the terms... view more... (2002-06-25)
MIT's pint-sized car engine promises high efficiency, low cost
MIT researchers are developing a half-sized gasoline engine that performs like its full-sized cousin but offers fuel efficiency approaching that of today's hybrid engine system-at a far lower cost. view more (2006-10-30)
MIT develops lecture search engine to aid students
Imagine you are taking an introductory biology course. You're studying for an exam and realize it would be helpful to revisit the professor's explanation of RNA interference. Fortunately for you, a digital recording of the lecture is online, but the 10-minute explanation you want is buried in a 90-minute lecture you don't have time to watch. view more (2007-11-15)
NC State breakthrough results in super-hard nanocrystalline iron that can take the heat
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a substance far stronger and harder than conventional iron, and which retains these properties under extremely high temperatures - opening the door to a wide variety of potential applications, such as engine components that are exposed to high stress and high temperatures. view more (2008-05-28)

Spray forming aerospace alloys for bigger aircraft
Metals are atomised during the process using Argon or Nitrogen gas to form droplets (10-500 micrometers) that are then deposited onto the surface of the pre-formed component via a spray cone. Adding ceramic particulate (5-15 micrometer Silicon Carbide) converts the alloy coating to form a metal matrix composite. The process is particularly... view more... (1999-05-28)
