Electrical, Optical Engineers Bring Captioning to Your PDA
Twenty-eight million Americans have at least partial hearing loss, which makes it hard to follow anything from baseball games to movies.A researcher has designed software that beams movie captions ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Have New Bug-Inspired Robot That Senses Its Way With Flexible Antenna
Researchers have developed a flexible, sensor-laden artificial antenna to help a robotic "bug" move and navigate just like the common cockroach. The bug can curry along walls, turn corners, avoid ... > more -
Engineers Make Cheaper, Brighter Displays Out Of Organic Materials
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are plastic-based materials that are able to emit light. Engineers are beginning to make displays out of OLEDs by spraying the materials on a surface, the way an ... > more -

Energy Scientists Propose Color-Coding Standard for PC Sleep Mode
Different computers use different indicator lights to signal that they are in energy-saving, or "sleep" mode. Users are often unsure if their PC is truly saving energy, rather than just turning its ... > more -
Doctors and Engineers Develop Virtual-Reality Recovery for Stroke Victims
Stroke survivors can often recover the use of a paralyzed arm, but it's a slow process. This could become easier with a new system made of a robotic arm and virtual reality software. The robot ... > more -
Engineers Develop Non-Acoustical Sensor to Improve Battlefield Communication
A new device will soon help troops communicate on a noisy battlefield. The Tuned Electromagnetic Resonance Collar -- or TERC sensor -- detects changes in the electrical field around the neck produced ... > more -
Physicists' Invention Opens Access to Computers for Persons with Tremors
For $100, people with tremors could finally be able to use a computer mouse. A new mouse adapter filters out the high-frequency, shaky component of the movement, transmitting only the steady ... > more -
Meteorologists Use Weather Knowledge to Predict Path of Toxic Spills
Homeland security officials are tapping researchers' capability to predict the paths of toxic waste spills and hazardous airborne particles. Using computer science and mathematics, along with ... > more -
Software Engineers Allow PCs to Scan Mobile Devices for Viruses
As cell phones, PDAs, and other wireless devices become more sophisticated, hackers are starting to spread viruses that can infect them. Software engineers have developed an application that allows a ... > more
