UC San Diego Scientists Develop Sensor for Homemade Bombs
A team of chemists and physicists at the University of California, San Diego has developed a tiny, inexpensive sensor chip capable of detecting trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical used in the most common form of homemade explosives. view more (2008-03-19)
Nano-tetherball biosensor precisely detects glucose
Researchers have created a precise biosensor for detecting blood glucose and potentially many other biological molecules by using hollow structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes anchored to gold-coated "nanocubes." view more (2009-01-23)
NASA MidSTAR-1 Successful Technologies May Be Revolutionary
Two new technologies launched onboard a U.S. Naval Academy satellite called MidSTAR-1 have proven successful in their tests in space. One technology is a sensor that can check for harmful chemicals and the other is a special "film" that can control heat. view more (2008-02-20)
Researchers catch ion channels in their opening act
Each thought or action sends a million electrical signals pulsing through your body. At the heart of the process of generating these electrical impulses is the ion channel. view more (2008-07-11)
Mutation protects from HIV - and increases risk of hepatitis C
More than 40 million people worldwide are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. In Africa alone this incurable immune deficiency caused more than two million deaths last year. Yet some people are resistant to infection: the reason for this is a mutation in their DNA which prevents the HIV virus from invading certain immune cells and... view more... (2002-07-17)

Novel temperature calibration improves NIST microhotplate technology
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new calibration technique that will improve the reliability and stability of one of NIST's most versatile technologies, the microhotplate. view more (2009-08-12)
Safe decay detector developed by dentists and textile experts
Tooth decay could soon be detected without resorting to potentially harmful X-rays - by using a novel electrical technique developed by dental researchers at the University of Dundee in an unusual partnership with textile experts at Heriot Watt University. Laboratory tests show the device, which measures the electrical resistance of teeth, is... view more... (2002-03-20)
Glass sensors measure weathering effects
The corrosiveness of a specific atmosphere can be established in a few weeks by thin slices of special glass. The sensors are capable of monitoring the outdoor environment as well as indoors, for instance in sensitive production processes such as chip fabrication. view more (2004-10-04)
Golden Scales: Nanoscale Mass Sensor from Berkeley Can Be Used to Weigh Individual Atoms and Molecules
There's a new "gold standard" in the sensitivity of weighing scales. Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) that can function as a scale... view more...
