Concrete columns with internal bars made of glass fibers can make a building sturdier
Conventional means of internal reinforcement for concrete member in buildings involve steel bars. view more (2009-07-15)
Size of brain areas does matter — but bigger isn't necessarily better
The ability to hit a baseball or play a piano well is part practice and part innate talent. One side of the equation required for skilled performances has its roots in the architecture of the brain genetically determined before birth, say scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Practice takes no explaining, just persistence. view more (2007-03-02)
PET imaging focuses on medication's purported ability to improve mental performance
Concerned by the growing numbers of people using stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (MP)-either legally or illegally-to improve attention and focus, researchers used positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the radiotracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to assess the effects of the drug on brain function in the normal human brain. view more (2008-06-17)
24 Hours Of Misery For Heartburn Sufferers - Sex And Work Are Major Casualties
21 October 2002 - Geneva, Switzerland - New research shows that reflux disease (GERD), which causes heartburn, leads to misery around the clock for many sufferers. The effects of the disease are much more serious than previously thought, impacting not only on eating and drinking habits but also on work performance, social activities and even sex.... view more...

Study: Perception of hole size influenced by performance
Golfers who play well are more likely to see the hole as larger than their poor-playing counterparts, according to a Purdue University researcher. view more (2008-07-08)
Supercomputer provides massive computational boost to biomedical research at TGen
In less time than the blink of an eye, the Translational Genomics Research Institute's new supercomputer at Arizona State University can do operations equal to every dollar in the recent Wall Street bailout. view more (2008-10-29)
Clubbers And Drugged Driving
New research carried out by the University of Surrey has revealed that clubbers who have taken illegal drugs could be in serious danger when driving home after a night out. The study suggests the effects of illicit drugs like ecstasy and cocaine during clubbing could dramatically impair the skills needed for driving. Concerns have been raised... view more...

New Superlattice Structure Enables High Performance Infrared Imaging
Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have demonstrated for the first time a high-performance infrared imager, based on a Type II superlattice, which looks at wavelengths 20 times longer than visible light. view more (2008-05-28)
new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded. view more (2005-09-13)
VCU Study Shows Big-Brained People Are Smarter
People with bigger brains are smarter than their smaller-brained counterparts, according to a study conducted by a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher published in the journal "Intelligence." view more (2005-06-20)
Indigenous Amazonians display core understanding of geometry
Researchers in France and at Harvard University have found that isolated indigenous peoples deep in the Amazon readily grasp basic concepts of geometry such as points, lines, parallelism and right angles, and can use distance, angle and other relationships in maps to locate hidden objects. view more (2006-01-20)
Computer test for would-be keyhold surgeons
Advances in computer-based testing mean it is now possible to identify doctors who are likely to have difficulty in becoming good keyhole surgeons. Assessing those trainees who have potential for this branch of surgery has been difficult - at best their shortcomings may not be discovered until after a lot of expensive training and at worst after... view more...

Working together to design robust silicon chips
Designers of high-speed silicon chips have often had to compromise on performance levels for their integrated circuit designs because of physical weaknesses appearing during design verification or even in production. view more (2009-11-13)
Silicon nanoparticles enhance performance of solar cells
Placing a film of silicon nanoparticles onto a silicon solar cell can boost power, reduce heat and prolong the cell's life, researchers now report. view more (2007-08-21)
Zeroing in on Wi-Fi 'dead zones'
Rooting out Wi-Fi "dead zones" in large wireless networks that cover whole neighborhoods or cities is an expensive proposition. view more (2008-09-26)
Northwestern team develops 'MRI' for fuel cells
As gasoline prices top $3 a gallon in major cities, the drive toward increasing energy efficiency and reducing air pollution has accelerated, and the development of fuel cells has become a major focus worldwide. view more (2006-06-19)
Golfers are not doing enough warm-up exercises to enhance performance or prevent injury
Amateur golfers who think practising a couple of swings before they hit the course will improve their standard, are misguided, suggests research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Researchers observed the warm-ups of 1040 adult golfers at different venues over a period of three weeks in 1999. Warm-up's need to be comprehensive enough to... view more... (2001-03-22)
