Daytime light exposure dynamically enhances brain responses
Exposure to light is known to enhance both alertness and performance in humans, but little is understood regarding the neurological basis for these effects, especially those associated with daytime light exposure. view more (2006-08-22)
Stretchable silicon could be next wave in electronics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a fully stretchable form of single-crystal silicon with micron-sized, wave-like geometries that can be used to build high-performance electronic devices on rubber substrates. view more (2005-12-16)
New era in Process Technology: compact and more efficient
The process industry is constant factor in the Dutch economy and many innovations have happened in this sector. Those innovations form the subject of the inaugural speech of Professor Peter Jansens, professor of separation-technology at TU Delft, to be held on Wednesday 24 January. In his speech, the young professor will discuss subjects such as... view more... (2001-01-25)
Multitasking is hardest in the early morning
Multitasking seems to come easier for some and is virtually impossible for others, however new research shows that it is difficult for all in the late night and early morning. view more (2007-05-07)
Sleeping in school
Up to 10% of children starting school suffer from sleep disturbances and these may lead to poor performance or behavioral difficulties. view more (2008-12-04)
Secondhand smoke increases teen test failure
Teens exposed to secondhand smoke at home are at increased risk of test failure in school, suggests a new study in the Journal of Adolescent Health. view more (2007-09-20)
Research team identifies human 'memory gene'
Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) today announced the discovery of a gene that plays a significant role in memory performance in humans. view more (2006-10-23)
Research on the color red shows definite impact on achievement
The color red can affect how people function: Red means danger and commands us to stop in traffic. Researchers at the University of Rochester have now found that red also can keep us from performing our best on tests. view more (2007-03-01)
First human trial of antibacterial contact lens
Biotechnology company Biosignal Ltd and the Institute for Eye Research have received ethics approval for the first human clinical trial of an antibacterial extended-wear contact lens. view more (2006-06-29)
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)
Researchers collaborate to understand phenomena controlling PEM fuel cell performance, durability
Two researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are working to understand several key phenomena that control hydrogen-fueled PEM (proton exchange membrane or polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cells. One, Ken S. Chen, is developing computational models to describe the phenomena while the other, Mike Hickner, is performing physical experimentation. view more (2006-01-27)
New drug reverses effects of sleep deprivation on brain
Research in monkeys suggests that a new drug can temporarily improve performance and reverse the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain. view more (2005-08-23)
Twins have similar school performance to single-born children
Twins have similar academic performance to single-born children, finds a large Danish study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-09-29)
Paint-on semiconductor outperforms chips
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a semiconductor device that outperforms today's conventional chips — and they made it simply by painting a liquid onto a piece of glass. view more (2006-07-13)
Sleep disturbances affect classroom performance
As a night of bad sleep can have an adverse effect on an adult's performance at work the next day, an insufficient amount of rest can also have a negative impact on how well middle or high school students perform in the classroom. view more (2007-02-15)
Genes and genius: Researchers confirm association between gene and intelligence
A team of scientists, led by psychiatric geneticists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has gathered the most extensive evidence to date that a gene that activates signaling pathways in the brain influences one kind of intelligence. view more (2007-02-28)
New discovery: Molecular variation in one gene affects the growth of natural populations
For the first time, ecologists have been able to show that molecular variation in one gene may affect the growth of a population in its natural habitat. view more (2006-04-26)
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)
Video games, cell phones and academic performance: Some good news
Using cell phones and playing video games may not be as harmful to children's academic performance as previously believed, according to new research by a team of Michigan State University scholars. view more (2009-03-25)
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)
