Space Physicists and Atmospheric Scientists Can Now Predict Disruptions Caused by the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejections
Solar activity can wreak havoc in communications systems -- particularly during coronal mass ejections, when plumes of electrically charged particles hit earth's atmosphere. Scientists can now track ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Develop Microplasma Device to Detect Toxins
Electrical engineers have developed a new, portable lab that identifies chemicals by their unique color signatures. It is the first such device to be portable, allowing scientists to recognize ... > more -
Mechanical Engineering Students Develop High-Altitude Reconnaissance Airships
On a shoestring, and with off-the-shelf components, students are designing prototypes of robotic blimp that could one day be used by the Pentagon. Cheaper than spy satellites, blimps can hover in ... > more -
Ecologists Deploy Wireless Sensors for Early Detection of Wildfires
New fire-sensing devices can spot a fire in its earliest stages, up to six miles away, and they can relay the information to emergency responders through a computer network and even automatically ... > more -
Meteorologists Can Now Issue Precise Local Excessive-Heat Warnings
Heat kills more people than tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning and flash floods -- combined. The National Weather Service now gives heat-wave warnings to better forecast local conditions for 16 ... > 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
