Leeds engineers' crucial role in land speed record attempt
Engineers from University of Leeds spinout company Instrumentel Ltd have played a crucial role in the next attempt to break the land speed record. view more (2008-10-23)
New Ariane launcher all set for November liftoff
The launch date of 28 November has been announced for Europe's new 10-tonne launcher. Preparations are well underway at Europe's spaceport in French Guinea where a series of simulated countdowns have been successfully carried out. The new Ariane 5, dubbed Ariane 10 tonnes, consists of a new cryogenic upper stage powered by the tried and trusted... view more... (2002-11-11)
New proteomics research promises to revolutionize biomedical discovery
Human cells function through the concerted action of thousands of proteins that control their growth and differentiation. Yet, the specific function of most human proteins remains either unknown or poorly characterized. view more (2007-07-20)
In Search Of Genetic Precision (p 357)
This week's Lancet editorial calls into question the current way in which studies that suggest an association between a gene and a particular disease are published, and discusses the criticism that scientific journals-including THE LANCET-have received when they report these studies. The main reason association studies are published is to provide... view more... (2003-01-29)
Simple device which uses electrical field could boost gas efficiency
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University physics professor has developed a simple device which could dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent. view more (2008-09-26)
Microscopic 'clutch' puts flagellum in neutral
A tiny but powerful engine that propels the bacterium Bacillus subtilis through liquids is disengaged from the corkscrew-like flagellum by a protein clutch, Indiana University Bloomington and Harvard University scientists have learned. Their report appears in this week's Science. view more (2008-06-20)
New fuel consumption-cutting product to be trialled by Stagecoach
Cerulean International Limited, the Oxford, UK-based subsidiary of the British nanomaterials company Oxonica Limited, has announced that its new product Envirox is to be commercially evaluated by Stagecoach UK, with a view to adopting the product over Stagecoach's 7000 strong UK bus fleet. Using new technology, Cerulean has developed Envirox, a... view more... (2003-10-15)
Sleep deprivation affects airport baggage screeners' ability to detect rare targets
A lack of sleep may affect the performance of airport employees, which can, in turn, compromise the safety of airline passengers. view more (2007-06-11)
Electronic tongue as oil tester
In the early days of mass motoring, in the 1950s, a car became due for inspection and oil change roughly every 3,000 kilometers. Since then, improvements to car engines and oils have lengthened this interval to around 30,000 kilometers, and it is likely to increase still further: to three times that figure, in the years to come. Nevertheless, the... view more... (2003-05-22)
Human eye inspires advance in computer vision from Boston College researchers
Inspired by the behavior of the human eye, Boston College computer scientists have developed a technique that lets computers see objects as fleeting as a butterfly or tropical fish with nearly double the accuracy and 10 times the speed of earlier methods. view more (2009-06-18)
Computers worldwide speed search for anti-smallpox drugs
A major computer project has been launched today to analyse millions of different chemicals in the search for drugs to combat the bioterrorist threat of smallpox. The smallpox research project will use the 'screensaver downtime' donated by up to two million computer users worldwide to screen 35 million compounds and identify those most likely to... view more...

Straightening messy correlations with a quantum comb
Quantum computing promises ultra-fast communication, computation and more powerful ways to encrypt sensitive information. view more (2009-11-24)
From black box to optimized plant
In times gone by, something complex as a steam engine was hardly understood by amateurs. They perceived it as a black box and thought it should simply work. There are basic similarities in today's factory planning and plant design: Something goes in at one end in a continuous flow (steam, wood chips, milk) and something comes out at the other end... view more...

Search for cancer genes unlikely to succeed, say experts
The hunt to find common genes that are associated with cancer is unlikely to be successful, say experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-05-12)
MU Research Leads to Improved Human, Object Detection Technology
When searching for basketball videos online, a long list of websites appears, which may contain a picture or a word describing a basketball. But what if the computer could search inside videos for a basketball? view more (2009-11-04)
Multimode Magnetic Field and Position Sensor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University's Physics Department have developed an extraordinarily versatile proximity sensor for the detection of objects, composed of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, glasses and plastics. This new device could be used as a position or speed sensor in automotive suspension, gearbox and engine management systems,... view more... (2002-08-14)
Team revamps energy system for fuel-efficiency
MIT researchers are trying to unleash the promise of an old idea by converting light into electricity more efficiently than ever before. view more (2006-05-23)
Purdue creating wireless sensors to monitor bearings in jet engines
Researchers at Purdue University, working with the U.S. Air Force, have developed tiny wireless sensors resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical bearings are close to failing and prevent breakdowns. view more (2007-10-31)
