SARTOR CREATOR RECIEVES INAUGURAL INTERNATIONAL AWARD
Dr Robert Hawley, Chairman of the Engineering Council said: "Professor Levy is a most eminent professional engineer who has achieved a great deal both in industry and as an educationalist. As the architect of the Engineering Council's key policy document Standards and Routes to Registration (SARTOR), he has been instrumental in setting the... view more... (1999-11-19)
APL regulates vascular tissue identity in Arabidopsis
Plants have a conductive tissue, phloem, for transporting sugars and hormones to non-green parts after photosynthesis. Phloem has two basic cell types, enucleate sieve elements (SE) and companion cells (CC). Scientists from the University of Helsinki have developmentally analyzed the process of phloem development in Arabidopsis plant and... view more... (2003-11-13)
Controlling civil engineering machinery using satellite
EUREKA project E! 2294 IMAGIN - the "Integrated MAchine Guidance INstruments" - uses satellite navigation to automatically control civil engineering machines with incredible accuracy and over tens of kilometres. The IMAGIN device is a special dual-frequency Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver that is attached to an engineering machine and... view more... (2003-12-23)
New Engineering and Technology Board to be formed
Science Minister for the UK Government Lord Sainsbury today announced the creation of the Engineering and Technology Board, a new body that will support the vital engineering and technology sector and assist professionals in marketing their skills in a rapidly changing marketplace. The Engineering and Technology Board (ETB) is the first... view more... (2001-02-14)
Virtual Milkround - the future of graduate recruitment
Eighty-eight percent of final year students actively use the Internet as a job-seeking tool, according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters. Online recruitment is more popular than ever, particularly for first positions. The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is meeting the recruitment challenges of a connected world with the launch... view more... (2000-10-23)
Novel technique changes lymph node biopsy, reduces radiation exposure in breast cancer patients
Information obtained from a new application of photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is worth its weight in gold to breast cancer patients. view more (2009-01-14)
Blood tests can help detect presence of necrotizing soft tissue infections
With less than half of patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections displaying the physical signs of these very serious infections, researchers have found two simple blood tests can help physicians diagnose what is commonly known as "flesh-eating bacteria," according to a study in the December issue of The American Journal of Surgery. view more (2008-12-04)
Engineering all things bright and beautiful
The human and inspirational aspects of engineering are highlighted in a new series of posters being received this week by school science departments around the UK. The poster series, Shine, Sniff, Wave, Pulse, has been devised and funded by the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton, and uses arresting... view more...

New technique sees into tissue at greater depth, resolution
By coupling a kicked-up version of microscopy with miniscule particles of gold, Duke University scientists are now able to peer so deep into living tissue that they can see molecules interacting. view more (2008-09-18)
Nanotech coating could lead to better brain implants to treat diseases
Biomedical and materials engineers at the University of Michigan have developed a nanotech coating for brain implants that helps the devices operate longer and could improve treatment for deafness, paralysis, blindness, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. view more (2009-03-11)
Bone marrow hope for heart sufferers
New hope for sufferers of heart disease is possible, after research led by a University of Leicester surgeon indicates that bone marrow cells injected into a heart can help repair damage from a heart attack. view more (2002-11-27)

The future of engineering is female at the University of Surrey
The University of Surrey was pleased to welcome 52 young scientists to the annual Headstart programme. The week-long, residential, annual programme enables lower-sixth form science students to have an introduction to all the different engineering disciplines as well as a taste of campus life. The 17 young women on the course also acted as mentors... view more... (2004-07-26)
Modified collagen could yield important medical applications
Collagen often pops up in beauty products and supermodel lips. But by mating collagen with a molecular hitchhiker, materials scientists at Johns Hopkins hope to create some important medical advances. view more (2005-08-31)
Deflecting damage: Flexible electronics aid brain injury research
Flexible electronic membranes may overcome a longstanding dilemma faced by brain researchers: How to replicate injuries in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to physical trauma. view more (2007-04-09)
Improving the quality of life for larynx cancer patients
Currently, voice rehabilitation of larynx cancer patients is performed by inserting a one-way shunt valve between trachea and oesophagus that prevents food and liquid from entering the trachea. Pressing the tracheal opening with a finger forces exhaled air through the shunt valve to the oesophagus, where soft tissue structures serve as a... view more... (2003-10-21)
Only connect ... the latest issue of 'The Biochemist'
Introduction - Connective Tissue Just about every cell in the body synthesises and is in intimate contact with an extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is a an essential and dynamic component of all tissues, but where the ECM is extensive as in skin, tendons, bone and cartilage the tissues are often referred to as connective tissue. Different types... view more... (2003-10-01)
