Camera Peers Around Corners: New Imaging System Uses Opaque Walls, Doors or Floors as 'Mirrors'
March 20, 2012 A new imaging system could use opaque walls, doors or floors as "mirrors" to gather information about scenes outside its line of ... > full story -
Icarus Experiment Measures Neutrino Speed: Even Neutrinos Are Not Faster Than Light
March 16, 2012 The ICARUS experiment at the Italian Gran Sasso laboratory has reported a new measurement of the time of flight of neutrinos from CERN to Gran Sasso. The ICARUS measurement, using last year's short ... > full story -
Researchers Send 'Wireless' Message Using a Beam of Neutrinos
March 14, 2012 Scientists have for the first time sent a message using a beam of neutrinos -- nearly massless particles that travel at almost the speed of light. The message was sent through 240 meters of stone and ... > full story -
Nanotube Technology Leading to New Era of Fast, Lower-Cost Medical Diagnostics
March 9, 2012 Researchers have tapped into the extraordinary power of carbon "nanotubes" to increase the speed of biological sensors, a technology that might one day allow a doctor to routinely perform lab tests ... > full story -
Daya Bay: Discovery of New Kind of Neutrino Transformation
March 8, 2012 The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment collaboration has announced a precise measurement of the last of the unsolved neutrino "mixing angles," which determine how neutrinos oscillate among ... > full storyMore: -
New Immune-System Sensor May Speed Up, Slash Cost of Detecting Disease
March 7, 2012 An inexpensive new medical sensor has the potential to simplify the diagnosis of diseases ranging from life-threatening immune deficiencies to the common cold, according to its ... > full story -
Quantum Microphone Captures Extremely Weak Sound
February 27, 2012 Scientists have demonstrated a new kind of detector for sound at the level of quietness of quantum mechanics. The result offers prospects of a new class of quantum hybrid circuits that mix acoustic ... > full story -
Finding Explosives With Laser Beams: New Method Detects Chemicals -- Even If Enclosed in Containers -- Over Long Distances
February 27, 2012 People like to keep a safe distance from explosive substances, but in order to analyze them, close contact is usually inevitable. A new method has now been developed to detect chemicals inside a ... > full story -
Gold Coaxed Into Nanowires to Allow Inexpensive Detection of Poisonous Industrial Gases
February 21, 2012 Researchers have coaxed gold into nanowires as a way of creating an inexpensive material for detecting poisonous gases found in natural ... > full story -
Microbial Oasis Discovered Beneath the Atacama Desert
February 16, 2012 Two meters below the surface of the Atacama Desert there is an 'oasis' of microorganisms. Researchers have found it in hypersaline substrates thanks to SOLID, a detector for signs of life which could ... > full story
