Kiwi astronomers help find icy 'Super Earth' - Life in space discovery a step closer
By designing a variant of an astronomical technique proposed by Einstein, researchers from The University of Auckland and Massey University, together with astronomers from Auckland's Stardome Observatory, have found evidence for a new icy "Super Earth". view more (2006-03-15)
New 'implanted contacts' designed to fix nearsightedness
UT Southwestern Medical Center ophthalmologists will be the first in the area to insert a new type of implanted lens to fix nearsightedness. view more (2006-02-28)
Hopkins study shows 30-day soft contact lenses pose very small risk of vision loss
A team of researchers led by the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute have determined that the corneal infection rate associated with the use of 30-day -extended-wear contact lenses made from silicone hydrogel is comparable to that previously reported for older lens types worn for fewer consecutive 24-hour periods. view more (2005-12-02)
Report issued on outbreak of serious eye infection linked with use of certain contact lens solution
Researchers have additional information concerning the recent outbreak of the corneal infection Fusarium keratitis, which was associated with use of a specific contact lens solution. view more (2006-08-23)
Deep magmatic plumbing of mid-ocean ridges revealed
Some of the highest quality images ever taken of the Earth's lower crust reveal that the upper and lower crust form in two distinctly different ways. view more (2005-08-25)
Spookfish uses mirrors for eyes
A remarkable new discovery shows the four-eyed spookfish to be the first vertebrate ever found to use mirrors, rather than lenses, to focus light in its eyes. view more (2009-01-08)
Purdue 'metamaterial' could lead to better optics, communications
Engineers at Purdue University are the first researchers to create a material that has a "negative index of refraction" in the wavelength of light used for telecommunications, a step that could lead to better communications and imaging technologies. view more (2005-12-01)
First human trial of antibacterial contact lens

Antibacterial coatings cut infection rates
Putting antibacterial coatings on hip and knee implants and biomedical devices such as catheters could cut infection rates following surgery and significantly reduce health care costs and improve quality of life for patients. view more (2005-11-30)
New 'liquid lens' data for immersion lithography
New data on the properties of potential "liquid lenses" compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could help the semiconductor industry continue to shrink feature sizes on computer chips. view more (2006-03-21)
Mapping the cosmic web of dark matter
What is Dark Matter and where is it found? These are two of the major mysteries in current studies of the Universe. Although the nature of this invisible material remains elusive, astronomers are beginning to produce detailed maps of the Cosmos, showing its location in relation to the ordinary matter that we can see in telescopes. One of the... view more... (2002-04-03)
Contact lenses and catapults - recognising the achievements of physics students
Three outstanding students have won prizes from the Institute of Physics for their course work in Advancing Physics, the Institute’s new physics A level course. Dr Julia King, the Institute’s Chief Executive, presented the students with their prizes at a ceremony organised by the OCR examining board in London on 28 November. Institute... view more...

Study documents outbreak of fungal eye infections among contact lens wearers in Singapore
Researchers in Singapore have reported an outbreak of Fusarium keratitis (a fungal infection of the cornea) associated with soft contact lens wear and linked with use of certain contact lens cleaning solutions. view more (2006-06-28)
Impaired vision common in US
A new report estimates that approximately 14 million people aged 12 years and older in the U.S. have vision impairment, of which more than 80 percent could be improved with the use of corrective lenses. view more (2006-05-10)
T-ray breakthrough could make detecting disease far easier
A breakthrough in the harnessing of 'T-rays'-electromagnetic terahertz waves-which could dramatically improve the detecting and sensing of objects as varied as biological cell abnormalities and explosives has been announced. view more (2006-11-03)
Reports characterize fungal eye infections among soft contact lens wearers
Fusarium, the fungus implicated in recent eye infections among soft contact lens wearers, is associated with an increasing number of cases of keratitis (corneal swelling and inflammation). view more (2006-06-13)
