Implementing sustainable technology to monitor the integrity of the nation's bridges
Today, humans perform visual inspections every two years of most of the nation's older bridges. But with a scarcity of inspectors and tens of thousands of bridges, that process can be long and laborious. view more (2009-04-17)
Dress for action with a bionic suit
A ROBOT suit has been developed that could help older people or those with disabilities to walk or lift heavy objects. view more (2005-04-06)
Euroabstracts, December 2002: Denmark cranks up the research machine
European research co-ordination is designed to raise productivity, and so is the reform programme under way in Denmark research. It is a small country which in many ways overperforms on the global scale - being for example a world leader in wireless telephony research - but it also has weak areas. One of these is in knowledge services, which... view more... (2002-12-10)
European light research opens door for optical storage and computing
The goal of replacing electronics with optics for processing data in computers is coming closer through cutting edge European research into the mysterious properties of "fast and slow" light. view more (2008-04-25)
USC researchers present new strategies to prevent childhood obesity
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) will present new findings and strategies for combating childhood obesity at the 5th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference being held June 9-12 in Los Angeles. view more (2009-06-10)
UCI scientists use nanotechnology to create world's fastest method for transmitting information in cell phones and computers
UC Irvine scientists in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering have demonstrated for the first time that carbon nanotubes can route electrical signals on a chip faster than traditional copper or aluminum wires, at speeds of up to 10 GHz. view more (2005-06-10)
NJIT solar physicist says weak sun produces record solar outburst
A solar outburst, which can play havoc with global positioning systems and cell phone reception, bombarded Earth, Dec. 6, 2006, with a record amount of radio noise, said solar physicist Dale Gary. view more (2006-12-18)
Move over, silicon: Advances pave way for powerful carbon-based electronics
Bypassing decades-old conventions in making computer chips, Princeton engineers developed a novel way to replace silicon with carbon on large surfaces, clearing the way for new generations of faster, more powerful cell phones, computers and other electronics. view more (2007-12-19)
Research Success must be rewarded
SBS today (14 Dec) welcomed the publication of the results of the Research Assessment Exercise, and called on the Government to reward the achievements that the results reveal. view more (2001-12-13)
Smart buildings to guide future first responders
The best response to a building emergency is a fast and informed one. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working with the building industry as well as the public safety and information technology communities to achieve both objectives. view more (2005-11-07)
MIT: Preventing forest fires with tree power
MIT researchers and colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors to prevent spreading forest fires. view more (2008-09-22)
Needle-size device created to track tumors, radiation dose
Engineers at Purdue University are creating a wireless device designed to be injected into tumors to tell doctors the precise dose of radiation received and locate the exact position of tumors during treatment. view more (2008-04-09)
Tongue Drive Technology
Researchers have developed an experimental tongue-based system that may allow individuals with debilitating disabilities to control wheelchairs, computers and other devices with relative ease and no sophistication. view more (2008-07-22)
Sightseeing with your personal mobile guide
It's easy to spot foreign tourists, their noses buried in weighty guides. But multimedia devices - offering location-based content and personalised adverts - may soon replace these books and generate significant revenue for mobile operators as trial results revealed. view more (2005-02-08)
Radio waves 'see' through walls
University of Utah engineers showed that a wireless network of radio transmitters can track people moving behind solid walls. The system could help police, firefighters and others nab intruders, and rescue hostages, fire victims and elderly people who fall in their homes. It also might help retail marketing and border control. view more (2009-10-12)
Toward cheaper imaging systems for identifying concealed weapons on the human body
Electrical engineers from UC San Diego have created high-performance W-Band silicon-germanium (SiGe) radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for passive millimeter-wave imaging. view more (2009-06-09)
Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-10-18)
CHANGES IN PROCESSES CAN SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE ERROR
Nightingale and colleagues from the Department of Medicine at the University of Birmingham describe a rules based system for the prescribing and recording of drugs given to patients. The system can be accessed from the bedside through wireless terminals. During 11 months of monitoring, the system prevented 58 unsafe prescriptions and gave over 700... view more... (2000-03-14)
How telecoms devices will become more user-friendly
In our cover theme on "Usability of end-user devices" we feature articles by leading European experts on what is done to improve the usability of mobile phones, how advances in speech recognition will make devices more usable, and on new ways to interact with end-user devices - via brain-computer interface. In addition, we have an exclusive... view more... (2004-12-21)
Carnegie Mellon system thwarts Internet eavesdropping
The growth of shared Wi-Fi and other wireless computer networks has increased the risk of eavesdropping on Internet communications, but researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science and College of Engineering have devised a low-cost system that can thwart these "Man-in-the-Middle" (MitM) attacks. view more (2008-08-26)
