Football Shirt Tells How Tired Players Are On The Pitch
Footballers could benefit from a new hi-tech shirt that alerts managers to players' heart rate and hydration levels. The shirt, which has in-built pulse and sweat monitors was designed by Northumbria University student David Evans. It uses ECG sensors to record the electrical activity of the heart and send signals to a computer on the team bench,... view more... (2004-06-25)
Super sensitive gas detector goes down the nanotubes
When cells are under stress, they blow off steam by releasing minute amounts of nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases. view more (2009-01-14)
Truly sick or simply scared?
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a way to increase the sensitivity of test strips that will enable creation of a portable biosensor that can address a major concern associated with incidents involving chemical or nerve agents - the need to quickly distinguish between individuals who have been exposed and the... view more...

New sensor system improves detection of lead, heavy metals
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a new rapid, portable and inexpensive detection system that identifies personal exposures to toxic lead and other dangerous heavy metals. view more (2008-02-13)
New crop of technology reveals plant health
Scientists have developed a system that picks up the subtle cues of plant communication helping plant growers to monitor the crop's state of health and will result in optimal environmentally-friendly growing conditions. view more (2006-04-05)
MIT demonstrates wireless power transfer
Imagine a future in which wireless power transfer is feasible: cell phones, household robots, mp3 players, laptop computers and other portable electronics capable of charging themselves without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate. view more (2007-06-08)
NASA celebrates a decade observing climate impacts on health of world's oceans
The NASA-managed Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) instrument settled into orbit around Earth in 1997 and took its first measurements of ocean color. view more (2007-09-20)
Watching over the water system
After a big earthquake, it's key to keep the water system afloat. Water is necessary for life, and it fights the fires that often accompany such disasters. view more (2009-08-19)
Jefferson scientists uncover new clues to how crucial molecular gatekeepers work
One of the biggest mysteries in molecular biology is exactly how ion channels - tiny protein pores through which molecules such as calcium and potassium flow in and out of cells - operate. view more (2005-10-12)
Motorola researchers develop selective sensors based on carbon nanotubes
A team of researchers from Arizona State University and Motorola Labs, the applied research arm of Motorola Inc., has developed sensors based on carbon nanotubes, microscopically small structures that posses excellent electronic properties. view more (2006-09-14)
Wisconsin scientists discover a master key to microbes' pathogenic lifestyles
For some microbes, the transformation from a benign lifestyle in the soil to that of a potentially deadly human pathogen is just a breath away. view more (2006-04-28)
Technology for monitoring fetal oxygen during labor offers no apparent benefit
A new technology for measuring blood oxygen levels of a baby during labor-expected to provide information useful for preventing birth complications-offers no apparent benefit, report researchers in a National Institutes of Health research network. view more (2006-11-27)
Nose-on-a-chip Aims To Mimic The Real Thing
An ambitious project is underway to build the world's smallest electronic nose. If the project succeeds, it is expected that the technology would have many potential applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, healthcare and food safety. The aim is to combine the odour sensors together with the signal processing components on to a... view more... (2002-03-04)
Adenine 'tails' make tailored anchors for DNA
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the University of Maryland (UMD) have demonstrated a deceptively simple technique for chemically bonding single strands of DNA to gold. view more (2006-12-27)
Experimental bus-tram on test
In 2003, an experimental 24-metre-long bus with independent control and drive to all its axles will be introduced in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. NWO's Technology Foundation STW is financing research at Eindhoven University of Technology into a sophisticated electronic guidance system. This will ensure that the new vehicle runs comfortably, rather... view more... (2001-07-26)
Energy-saving method checks refrigerant level in air conditioners
