LIDAR Imaging Detector Could Build 'Super Road Maps' of Planets and Moons
Technology that could someday "MapQuest" Mars and other bodies in the solar system is under development at Rochester Institute of Technology's Rochester Imaging Detector Laboratory (RIDL), in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. view more (2008-05-16)
Lighting up the human brain at night
Most people are aware that light affects human behaviour and can be used to treat disorders such as Seasonal Affective Disorder, but now researchers from the University of Surrey and the University of Liege have found new evidence that light administered during the night immediately reduces sleepiness and boosts human brain function. These... view more... (2004-10-25)
Choosing a mate: what we really want
While humans may pride themselves on being highly evolved, most still behave like the stereotypical Neanderthals when it comes to choosing a mate, according to research by Indiana University cognitive scientist Peter Todd. view more (2007-09-04)
Women may not be so picky after all about choosing a mate
Men and women may not be from two different planets after all when it comes to choosiness in mate selection, according to new research from Northwestern University. view more (2009-06-03)
Reflection makes Skin Cancer Diagnosis easier
A new way of detecting skin cancers using light reflected from pigmented skin lesions is described this week in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust studied the spectra of light reflected from skin lesions. As benign and malignant... view more... (2000-02-18)
Alternative therapies may help people with dementia
Aromatherapy and bright light treatment may have an important role in managing behavioural problems in people with dementia, conclude researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-12-04)
Smallest Nanoantennas for High-speed Data Networks
More than 120 years after the discovery of the electromagnetic character of radio waves by Heinrich Hertz, wireless data transmission dominates information technology. view more (2009-10-21)
Sports Scientists Help Keep Elderly Injury-free
Injuries caused by falling are among the most common and potentially serious suffered by elderly people today, so a team of sports scientists more used to working with some of the UK`s best athletes is pioneering research aimed at significantly reducing such falls. Almost a third of people over the age of 65 injure themselves falling each year,... view more... (2001-12-10)
Paint-on laser could rescue computer chip industry
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a laser that could help save the $200-billion dollar computer chip industry from a looming crisis dubbed the "interconnect bottleneck." view more (2006-04-18)
An 'eye catching' vision discovery
Nearly all species have some ability to detect light. At least three types of cells in the retina allow us to see images or distinguish between night and day. Now, researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have discovered in fish yet another type of cell that can sense light and contribute to vision. view more (2009-07-27)
The knee op that helps free the knees up
Most people over the age of 30 have some sort of problem with their knees making walking, running or playing sport uncomfortable, and thousands of people each year have surgery to remove damaged cartilage from within their knees. view more (2000-01-20)
Astronomers detect matter torn apart by black hole
Astronomers have used two different telescopes simultaneously to study the violent flares from the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way. They have detected outbursts from this region, known as Sagittarius A*, which reveal material being stretched out as it orbits in the intense gravity close to the central black hole. view more (2008-11-19)
SMART-1 'star tracker' peeks at the approaching lunar surface
While ESA's SMART-1 mission is running on its last orbits around the Moon before its planned lunar impact on 3 September 2006, the spacecraft 'star tracker' - or attitude camera-is taking exciting pictures of the ever approaching surface. view more (2006-08-30)
Quantum computing spins closer
The promise of quantum computing is that it will dramatically outshine traditional computers in tackling certain key problems: searching large databases, factoring large numbers, creating uncrackable codes and simulating the atomic structure of materials. view more (2008-11-24)
Daytime light exposure dynamically enhances brain responses
Exposure to light is known to enhance both alertness and performance in humans, but little is understood regarding the neurological basis for these effects, especially those associated with daytime light exposure. view more (2006-08-22)
First diesel military motorcycle to hit the road
A unique technology partnership between Cranfield University and California-based Hayes Diversified Technologies (HDT) has created the world's first production diesel military motorbike - and the first bike of any kind with a purpose-designed diesel power unit. view more (2004-11-03)
Selectivity is ultimate aphrodisiac
Speed daters who romantically desired most of their potential partners were rejected quickly and overwhelmingly, according to a new Northwestern University study. view more (2007-02-07)
Nanotube flickering reveals single-molecule rendezvous
In the quantum world, photons and electrons dance, bump and carry out transactions that govern everything we see in the world around us. view more (2007-06-08)
Computer hackers R.I.P. -- making quantum cryptography practical
Quantum cryptography, a completely secure means of communication, is much closer to being used practically as researchers from Toshiba and Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory have now developed high speed detectors capable of receiving information with much higher key rates, thereby able to receive more information faster. view more (2009-04-30)
Record-setting laser may aid searches for Earthlike planets
Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated an ultrafast laser that offers a record combination of high speed, short pulses and high average power. view more (2008-05-08)
