Funding to develop tomorrow's technology
The University of Sussex is the only university to receive two awards from a new multi-million-pound government fund that aims to revolutionise scientific research and innovation. Two initiatives at Sussex are to be supported by the Basic Technology Research Programme, which is being managed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research... view more... (2002-02-26)
Stanford researchers developing 3-D camera with 12,616 lenses
The camera you own has one main lens and produces a flat, two-dimensional photograph, whether you hold it in your hand or view it on your computer screen. On the other hand, a camera with two lenses (or two cameras placed apart from each other) can take more interesting 3-D photos. view more (2008-03-20)
Fishing biomolecules
Rapid substance identification is an indispensable tool for laboratories and process monitoring. An optical biochip developed as part of the EU-funded project BIOMIC is capable of simultaneously measuring the concentrations of eight different proteins or DNA fragments. view more (2004-03-18)
Asthma monitoring on the Web
An inexpensive web-enabled device for measuring lung function in patients with asthma and other disorders is being developed by researchers at Texas Instruments, in Bangalore, India, and co-workers. Writing in the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, the team explains how the devise could allow physicians to monitor... view more... (2008-08-25)
Detecting substances with swinging mirrors
As we know from the familiar sight of a rainbow, a spectrum always has a specific width between violet and red. As the spectrum fans out, in chemical analysis the light or radiation intensity must be measured at various points. One means to achieve this is by using a turning diffraction grid that works like a prism. The spectrum is then... view more... (2003-05-22)
Helping human and robot firefighters work as a team
Imagine a firefighter scrambling through a burning building, searching for survivors of a devastating explosion. Injured people on the far side of a brick wall, but out of reach. However, the partner on the other side promptly smashes through the wall, clears a path so both can help the survivors. Science fiction perhaps? No, this is exactly the... view more... (2005-04-13)

New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory cells on microchips mounted on the unmanned vehicle.... view more...

The minerals on Mars influence the measuring of its temperature
A team of researchers from the CSIC-INTA Astrobiology Centre in Madrid has confirmed that the type of mineralogical composition on the surface of Mars influences the measuring of its temperature. view more (2009-07-14)
NIST shows on-card fingerprint match is secure, speedy
A fingerprint identification technology for use in Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards that offers improved protection from identity theft meets the standardized accuracy criteria for federal identification cards according to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2008-04-03)
Higher Water Temperatures and Reduced Ice Cover In the Arctic Ocean
Over the past six weeks, scientists aboard the research vessel "Polarstern" of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research have been investigating changes in ocean temperature and sea ice cover in the area of Fram Strait between Spitsbergen and Greenland. In this area significant exchange of water masses between the Arctic Ocean... view more... (2004-08-27)
University of Iowa team discovers first moisture-sensing genes

A new method for the design and manufacture of sensors based on optic fibres
A novel method for the design and manufacture of sensors to measure the temperature and relative humidity of the air, the pH of solutions or the refractive index of liquids based on optic fibre has been devised at the Public University of Navarre. The sensors are small devices capable of capturing both physical and chemical signals from the... view more... (2003-04-25)
New method monitors critical bacteria in wastewater treatment
Researchers have developed a new technique using sensors to constantly monitor the health of bacteria critical to wastewater treatment facilities and have verified a theory that copper is vital to the proper functioning of a key enzyme in the bacteria. view more (2009-02-05)
