On the track of tiny larvae, a new model elucidates connections in marine ecology
A computer model newly developed by researchers combines ocean current simulations and genetic forecasting to help scientists predict animal dispersion patterns and details of the ecology of coral reefs across the Caribbean Sea. view more (2006-08-22)
Visual technology enables brain to learn in new ways
New technology at Tufts University's Center for Scientific Visualization is enabling researchers to translate the most abstract, complex scientific concepts into clearer, more precise 3-dimensional images than conventional visualization systems can create. view more (2008-03-24)
Charles Clarke opens 'green, joined-up thinking' research centre
Secretary of State for Education, Charles Clarke MP, will visit the University of East Anglia (UEA) today (Thursday 4 September) to officially open the Zuckerman Institute for Connective Environmental Research. The Zuckerman Institute for Connective Environmental Research (ZICER), within UEA's internationally-acclaimed School of Environmental... view more... (2003-09-01)
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)
Magnetic levitation gives computer users sense of touch
Computers, long used as tools to design and manipulate three-dimensional objects, may soon provide people with a way to sense the texture of those objects or feel how they fit together, thanks to a haptic, or touch-based, interface developed at Carnegie Mellon University. view more (2008-03-05)
Failure to suppress irrelevant brain activity in Alzheimer disease
A study by Alexander Drzezga and colleagues (of the Technical University Munich, Germany) to be published in the international open access journal PLoS Medicine now shows that this focusing process is defective in people with Alzheimer disease (AD). view more (2005-09-20)
BBC Launches Major Innovation Competition
Everyone has those "why don't they invent something to "¦" moments, and now everyone has the chance to prove they can do just that. BBC One, in partnership with NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), throws down the gauntlet to all would-be inventors, inviting them to take part in a nationwide search... view more...

Online support for people with depression
Many people suffering from untreated and undiagnosed depression are turning to Internet communities for help, according to a study published this week in BMC Psychiatry. Scientists believe these virtual communities could be used to offer diagnosis and support to people that are depressed, and offer the possibility of online therapy. Surveys show... view more...

University Jaume I researchers at work on EU project to improve video game realism
A group of researchers from the Department of Computer Languages and Systems at the Universitat Jaume I is taking part in a project to improve realism in video games. The goal is to design software that makes the task of game programmers easier so that they can create more credible environments without having to carry out complex operations. The... view more...

Your personal news show
The modern-day capabilities of the Internet and those of the familiar household TV are beginning to merge. It is possible to receive TV programs over the Internet using streaming technologies. On the other hand, TV displays Internet-based computer applications through the increasingly common set-top boxes designed to receive digital TV. The... view more... (2003-03-10)
New training method helps surgeons evaluate their own minimally invasive surgery skills
Recent years have seen the rapid emergence of minimally invasive surgery procedures in operating theatres. However, the training of surgeons in this field still leaves much to be desired. view more (2009-01-13)
New market for 'old' building companies
Delft research offers consumers the possibility to order a complete house, in prefabricated parts, from a building company. This so-called replacement building offers existing building companies growth possibilities in a shrinking market. On Wednesday 25 September, Caspar van den Thillart will defend his thesis on the possibilities of this... view more... (2002-09-19)
For Most Outfielders, Luck Has Nothing to Do with Catching Flies
New research from Brown University supports a long-standing theory about how outfielders catch fly balls. The eye continuously tracks the ball as its visual velocity increases or decreases, and the outfielder runs backward or forward to compensate. view more (2010-01-25)
Computer simulations point to key molecular basis of cystic fibrosis
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified a key molecular mechanism that may account for the development of cystic fibrosis, which about 1 in 3000 children are born with in the US every year. view more (2008-03-03)
Study gives clues to increasing X-rays' power
Three-dimensional, real-time X-ray images of patients could be closer to reality because of research recently completed by scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a pair of Russian institutes. view more (2009-06-16)
Rebuilding old relics
THE years take their toll on forgotten relics. By the time they make it into a museum, bits have flaked off and colours faded. But a newly developed computer system will allow visitors to see exhibits in all their glory, with missing limbs restored or drab clothing spruced up. The "virtual showcase"... view more...

Scientists closer to making invisibility cloak a reality
J.K. Rowling may not have realized just how close Harry Potter's invisibility cloak was to becoming a reality when she introduced it in the first book of her best-selling fictional series in 1998. Scientists, however, have made huge strides in the past few years in the rapidly developing field of cloaking. Ranked the number five breakthrough of... view more... (2009-03-06)
Bringing Second Life to life: Researchers create character with reasoning abilities of a child
Today's video games and online virtual worlds give users the freedom to create characters in the digital domain that look and seem more human than ever before. But despite having your hair, your height, and your hazel eyes, your avatar is still little more than just a pretty face. view more (2008-03-11)
