The tremendous diversity of life continues to puzzle scientists, long after the 200 years since Charles Darwin's birth. view more (2009-07-20)
Recreational cocaine use may impair inhibitory control
The recreational use of cocaine has rapidly increased in many European countries over the past few years. view more (2007-11-07)
Scientists explain how insulin secreting cells maintain their glucose sensitivity
Scientists at the leading Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have now disclosed the mystery how the insulin-secreting cells maintain an appropriate number of ATP sensing ion channel proteins on their surface. view more (2007-09-06)
Drive-by-wire and human behavior systems key to Virginia Tech's Urban Challenge vehicle
Virginia Tech's entry in DARPA's Urban Challenge is moving forward to the qualifying rounds, thanks in part to a custom-designed drive-by-wire control system and unique navigation software that makes the vehicle's driving decisions almost human. view more (2007-08-13)

Embargoed until time of delivery: 14.40 hrs BST Thursday 15 April 1999 view more (1999-04-06)
Breakthrough in geomechanics research recognised by Royal Society
A research breakthrough by a University of Nottingham professor that will have important implications for engineering design involving rolling and sliding contact such as road railway foundations has been unveiled in a prestigious journal. view more (2005-05-24)
Biological motors sort molecules one by one on a chip
Researchers from Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience have discovered how to use the motors of biological cells in extremely small channels on a chip. view more (2006-05-12)
Many U.S. Public Schools in 'Air Pollution Danger Zone'
One in three U.S. public schools are in the "air pollution danger zone," according to new research from the University of Cincinnati (UC). view more (2008-08-19)
Systematic identification of new markets
To be successful on the market, companies need to react flexibly and exploit new opportunities quickly. But an even better approach is to actively seek out new products and new target groups. Staff at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF in Magdeburg have developed a useful tool for this - the „target market... view more... (1999-07-01)
Fatality Rates Increase with Repeal of Helmet Laws, MU Study Finds
Since 1975, more than 100,000 motorcycle riders in America have died in crashes. The majority of states required motorcycle helmets in 1975, but today, only 20 states have universal helmet laws that require all riders to wear helmets, 26 states have partial coverage laws (usually only for young riders), and four states have no helmet laws. view more (2008-04-01)
Premium info for car drivers
What will the weather be like over the next few hours on the A3 between Nuremberg and Würzburg? Could fog be a problem? A new system will enable automakers to offer their customers additional services - such as weather information or details of vacant parking spaces. view more (2009-09-11)
PRODUCTS THAT THINK FOR THEMSELVES
Mechatronics is the latest engineering discipline that combines mechanical, electrical and computing systems to produce intelligent products. These devices have the capacity to sense the environment and make reasoned judgements about outputs from the system. In addition, a mechatronic device will learn from past experience. Elements of mechatronic... view more... (1999-02-03)
Safety belts in police cars may be life threatening
Two new tests by VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) have investigated traffic safety for police in their cars. The hypothesis that the personal equipment or the uniform might affect the function of the seat belt in a collision was put to test. The study points out that an alternative, professional use of vehicles ought to... view more... (2005-05-16)
British opposition to wind farms
IT IS a classic demonstration of how not to do "joined-up government". Britain`s Ministry of Defence (MoD) is blocking five of the country`s 18 proposed offshore wind farms, claiming that they will interfere with military aviation radar. The MoD`s objections will almost certainly prevent the... view more... (2002-04-24)
Patients with sleep apnea should avoid driving after poor sleep or consuming alcohol
Patients with undiagnosed or untreated obstructive sleep apnea are especially vulnerable to the effects of sleep deprivation and even legal doses of alcohol when it comes to lowered driving performance and increased risk of vehicular accidents. view more (2009-05-20)
Varnish measures pressure and vibrations
Despite the use of computer simulation, wind tunnel testing is still required to measure pressure changes and airflow speeds on the surfaces of new aircraft and automobile prototypes. Such testing is now done less with smoke visualization and threads but more frequently with high-tech sensors which have the least influence on air flows. Film... view more... (2003-02-20)
Space is big, but not big enough
According to Douglas Adams, in his famous book The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, space is big. However, it seems near-Earth space is not big enough. In December 2001, the Space Shuttle pushed the International Space Station away from a discarded Russian rocket booster that was due to pass uncomfortably close. Space litter is a growing problem... view more... (2002-09-26)
Pinning down the fleeting Internet: Web crawler archives historical data for easy searching
The Internet contains vast amounts of information, much of it unorganized. But what you see online at any given moment is just a snapshot of the Web as a whole -- many pages change rapidly or disappear completely, and the old data gets lost forever. view more (2008-11-18)
Congestion charge potentially unsafe for motorcyclists, claim researchers
The London congestion charge may be having an adverse effect on motorcyclist and cyclist casualties, according to research now published online in the journal Transportation. view more (2007-08-20)
Diesel exhaust associated with higher heart attack, stroke risk in men
Increased roadway pollution produced by diesel fuel in vehicles is leading to a cascade of conditions that could result in heart attack or stroke. view more (2007-11-06)
