Revolutionary nanotechnology illuminates brain cells at work
Until now it has been impossible to accurately measure the levels of important chemicals in living brain cells in real time and at the level of a single cell. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology and Stanford University are the first to overcome this obstacle by successfully applying genetic nanotechnology using... view more...

NRL sensor to measure natural airglow in the upper atmosphere
The second of five Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) remote sensing instruments, developed by the Naval Research Laboratory, was launched on November 4, 2006 on board the DMSP F-17 satellite. SSULI is the first operational instrument of its kind and provides a new technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from... view more... (2006-11-07)
Forest Fire Sensor Inspired By Nature
They are what fire fighters have long been calling for: low-cost and highly sensitive infrared sensors that automatically monitor large forest areas and trigger an early warning in the event of fire. Zoologist at the University of Bonn have taken an important step towards this goal. They have constructed a forest fire sensor which could be... view more... (2004-07-28)
NRL partners with industry to develop compact biosensor for wide-ranging applications
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are partnering with industry to develop a sensor system for biomolecules that could make a significant contribution to a variety of fields such as healthcare, veterinary diagnostics, food safety, environmental testing, and national security. view more (2009-02-04)
UCI scientists use near real-time sensor data to detect coastal ocean pollution
A discovery by UC Irvine scientists could help public health officials know instantly when pollution has moved into the coastal ocean - a breakthrough that could enable authorities to post warnings or close beaches in minutes rather than days. view more (2006-09-19)
Bringing unique remote sensing and actuation technology to market
British company Instrumentel has developed a revolutionary communications technology that enables two-way command and control for battery-less remote sensing and actuation. view more (2005-02-23)
Permanent deep-sea seismic sensors
A submarine seismic sensor was recently set in place at 2400 m depth, off Toulon. The instrument was attached to a neutrino telescope developed by the international scientific programme Antares. view more (2005-06-06)
New testing facility helps researchers improve land mine detection equipment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built a test facility to evaluate and enhance sensors designed to detect buried land mines. view more (2009-05-14)
Emergency links: NIST identifies 'sweet spot' for radios in tunnels
As part of a project to improve wireless communications for emergency responders, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have confirmed that underground tunnels-generally a difficult setting for radios-can have a frequency "sweet spot" at which signals may travel several times farther than at other... view more...

Sniffing out a better chemical sensor
Marrying a sensitive detector technology capable of distinguishing hundreds of different chemical compounds with a pattern-recognition module that mimics the way animals recognize odors, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new approach for "electronic noses." view more (2008-10-30)
Sculptured materials allow multiple channel plasmonic sensors
Sensors, communications devices and imaging equipment that use a prism and a special form of light -- a surface plasmon-polariton -- may incorporate multiple channels or redundant applications if manufacturers use sculptured thin films. view more (2009-11-11)
Soap-sniffing technology encourages hand washing to reduce hospital-acquired infections, save money
Using sensors capable of detecting drugs in breath, new technology developed at University of Florida monitors health-care workers' hand hygiene by detecting sanitizer or soap fumes given off from their hands. view more (2009-06-04)
First PROBA pictures promise wealth of environmental data
ESA's new micro-satellite PROBA has captured its first test images of the Earth's surface using its small but powerful optical instrument, just two months after its launch from the Indian equator. PROBA (Project for On Board Autonomy), the size of a small box and in orbit 600 km above the Earth's surface, has provided scientists with its first... view more... (2002-01-22)
Fingerprint recognition gets true `Fingerspitzengefühl`
Will we pay using our fingerprint, or enter a building just touching a sensor? Does our mobile phone recognize our fingerprint? It is possible, as far as Dutch PhD student Asker Bazen is concerned. He has improved the verification techniques, resulting in a better result even for deformed and damaged prints. Together with a higher speed, the new... view more... (2002-09-02)
UK academic to accelerate Formula 1 engine development
A method of collecting data for engine performance analysis described as “revolutionary” by industry experts has secured a Leeds academic £250,000 venture capital to develop its commercial potential. view more (2001-12-18)
Technique used commonly in physics finds application in neuroscience
o understand how brain cells release compounds (or transmitters) used when the cells communicate with each other, Vladimir Parpura, associate professor of neuroscience, and Umar Mohideen, professor of physics at UC Riverside, devised a new technique, used commonly in physics, that can be applied now to the study of a wide range of biological... view more...
