Keeping an eye on fatigue in wind turbines
Wind farms are springing up everywhere like mushrooms. Business in this alternative sector of the energy industry is booming, thanks in part to federal and former state subsidies. The total output of the wind turbines installed in Germany today is theoretically enough to supply the whole capital of Berlin with electricity. But the durability of... view more... (2003-09-18)
ANALYTICA 2004: Analyses for Medicine and Environment
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of a modular kit for a „chip-based lab". Thanks to ingenious fluidics and a miniaturised tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproducable PCR reactions in less than five minutes. The single chips of the modular kit are... view more... (2004-05-05)
Superconducting sensor helps detecting gravitation waves
To be able to detect gravitation waves in space, physicist have to measure truly minimal displacements: ten billion times smaller than the size of an atom. An improved superconducting sensor is a suitable candidate for this job, Martin Podt of the University of Twente now states in his PhD thesis. He has improved the sensitivity of a so-called... view more... (2003-01-15)
The Prehistoric Sites At Atapuerca Incorporate Sophisticated Technology Developed By IBM
An innovative IT system and a world-wide pioneer in this type of project - set to facilitate on-site data taking Atapuerca, Burgos, 10 July, 2002: IBM and the Fundaci'³n Atapuerca today unveiled a sophisticated IT system at the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos) sites that will allow archaeologists to carry out data-taking and investigative work on-site... view more...

Biophysical method may help to recover hearing
Scientists based in Switzerland and South Africa have created a biophysical methodology that may help to overcome hearing deficits, and potentially remedy even substantial hearing loss. The authors propose a method of retuning functioning regions of the ear to recognize frequencies originally associated with damaged areas. Details are published... view more... (2008-08-29)
Sheffield scientists light up bacteria
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have received joint funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop an innovative sensor to detect bacteria. view more (2007-03-13)
National report calls for more research on health effects of wireless technologies
A new National Research Council report chaired by University of Colorado at Boulder Distinguished Professor Frank Barnes calls for a stronger research effort on the potential health effects of exposure to radio frequency energy tied to the global explosion in wireless technology like cell phones, laptops and hand-held Web-surfing gadgets. view more (2008-01-21)
Color sensors for better vision
The car of the future will have lots of smart assistants onboard - helping to park the car, recognize traffic signs and to warn the driver of blind spot hazards. view more (2009-10-06)
Report identifies research to bolster knowledge of health effects of wireless communication devices
The rapid increase in the use of wireless communication devices in recent years has been accompanied by a significant amount of research into potential health effects from high exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy emitted by these devices. view more (2008-01-18)
Wake-up call: Draft security pub looks at cell phones, PDAs
In recent years cell phones and PDAs-"Personal Digital Assistants"-have exploded in power, performance and features. They now often boast expanded memory, cameras, Global Positioning System receivers and the ability to record and store multimedia files and transfer them over wireless networks-in addition to the cell phone system-using... view more...

IT security: battening down the hatches
Mobile devices and data storage media present a serious security risk when data is exchanged. Fraunhofer researchers demonstrate at CeBIT (Hall 11) how this information can be more effectively protected using the latest encryption and authentication technology. view more (2004-03-18)
Nano-layer of ruthenium stabilizes magnetic sensors
A layer of ruthenium just a few atoms thick can be used to fine-tune the sensitivity and enhance the reliability of magnetic sensors, tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) show. view more (2007-08-06)
Team develops energy-efficient microchip
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. view more (2008-02-05)
Sensor necklace aims to increase elderly and clinical trial participant drug compliance
Researchers now have a possible solution for the one in three adults who fail to take their medicines as prescribed by their doctors, as well as for everyone else who occasionally forgets: a sensor necklace that records the exact time and date when specially-designed pills are swallowed, and reminds the user if any doses are being missed. view more (2008-03-06)
