Researchers Produce Firsts with Bursts of Light
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have generated extremely short pulses of light that are the strongest of their type ever produced and could prove invaluable in probing the ultra-fast motion of atoms and electrons. view more (2007-07-25)
New system for detection of single atoms
Scientists have devised a new technique for real-time detection of freely moving individual neutral atoms that is more than 99.7% accurate and sensitive enough to discern the arrival of a single atom in less than one-millionth of a second, about 20 times faster than the best previous methods. view more (2009-05-18)
Separate signals through optical fibres for ultrafast home network
Dutch-sponsored researcher Christos Tsekrekos has investigated how a small network for at home or in a company can function optimally. His research analyses the MGDM technique (Mode Group Diversity Multiplexing) of the Eindhoven University of Technology. view more (2008-01-25)
'Frequency comb' spectroscopy proves to be powerful chemical analysis tool
Physicists at JILA have designed and demonstrated a highly sensitive new tool for real-time analysis of the quantity, structure and dynamics of a variety of atoms and molecules simultaneously, even in minuscule gas samples. view more (2006-03-17)
Experimental bus-tram on test
In 2003, an experimental 24-metre-long bus with independent control and drive to all its axles will be introduced in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. NWO's Technology Foundation STW is financing research at Eindhoven University of Technology into a sophisticated electronic guidance system. This will ensure that the new vehicle runs comfortably, rather... view more... (2001-07-26)
Purdue 'metamaterial' could lead to better optics, communications
Engineers at Purdue University are the first researchers to create a material that has a "negative index of refraction" in the wavelength of light used for telecommunications, a step that could lead to better communications and imaging technologies. view more (2005-12-01)
Astronomers detect echoes from ancient supernovae
A team of astronomers has found faint visible "echoes" of three ancient supernovae by detecting centuries-old light reflected by interstellar gas clouds hundreds of light-years removed from the original explosions. view more (2005-12-22)
Novel semiconductor structure bends light 'wrong' way -- the right direction for many applications
A Princeton-led research team has created an easy-to-produce material from the stuff of computer chips that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite direction from all naturally occurring materials. view more (2007-10-15)
Twinkling nanostars cast new light into biomedical imaging
Purdue University researchers have created magnetically responsive gold nanostars that may offer a new approach to biomedical imaging. view more (2009-07-22)
Blink, and the brain misses it
We would immediately notice if the outside world suddenly went dark every few seconds. But we rarely become aware of our blinks, even though they cause a similar reduction in the amount of light entering the eye. So why are we not aware of the frequent mini-blackouts caused by blinks? view more (2005-07-26)
New 167-processor Chip Is Super-fast, Ultra Energy-efficient
A new, extremely energy-efficient processor chip that provides breakthrough speeds for a variety of computing tasks has been designed by a group at UC Davis. The chip, dubbed AsAP, is ultra-small, fully reprogrammable and highly configurable, so it can be widely adapted to a number of applications. view more (2009-04-22)
The Secret of the shark's sneaky speed is revealed
Many shark species, including the great white and mako, swim at speeds greater than their morphology should allow. Dr. Adam Summers (University of California) has discovered they achieve this speed by changing the stiffness of their body by pressurising their thick, inflexible skin. "This study could help answer questions about the evolution... view more... (2003-03-31)
Discovery Brings New Type of Fast Computers Closer to Reality
Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called "excitons" that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality. view more (2009-09-28)
Global warming increasing the dispersal of flora in Northern forests
As a result of stronger winds caused by global warming, seeds and pollen are being carried over longer distances. view more (2009-06-12)
Academic Nets Major Research Contracts
A Staffordshire University academic has been awarded more than half a million pounds, to research and improve the quality and service of mobile communication systems. Professor Rolando Carrasco, an expert in the field of "coding techniques and signal processing" used in mobile communications systems, made two successful bids to the Engineering and... view more...
