Optical Engineering Makes Movie Motion Realistic
Students at the Aesthetic Technologies Lab are recording the way light bends to track their every move and improve movie technology. Long strips of fiber optic tubes snake around the body and are ... > more -
Scientists Develop E-ink To Replace Books, Newspapers
Scientists at Sony have developed an electronic version of ink, currently used in the E-Reader, that enables thousands of books to be carried around in one portable, energy-efficient case. Ink ... > more -
Computer Technology Gets The Word Out Faster During A Disaster
Several federal agencies are beginning to implement a common, standardized system for disseminating disaster alerts, called the Common Alert Protocol. The CAP is a digital message format that can be ... > more -
Nanotechnology Fingerprints Can Certify Authenticity
Immunochemists have now devised a range of nanoscale materials that can be embedded in drug packaging or in the pills themselves to distinguish medicines from counterfeits. Traces of these ... > more -
Cochlear Implants Work Better If Done On Both Ears
Unlike other acoustical devices such as hearing aids, which just amplify sounds, cochlear implants mimic what happens inside the ear, changing sound waves into electrical signals sent to the brain. ... > more -

Medical Physicists Improve Vision for Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy requires visualizing exactly where a tumor is located, usually from looking at hundreds of different X-ray , CT or PET scan images. A new system patches together 2D images into one ... > more -
MRIs Peek into the Brains of Synesthesia Patients
Cognitive neuroscientists have now documented hundreds of cases of synesthesia -- the condition in which one sense triggers the response of a different one. Using functional magnetic resonance ... > more -
Materials Chemists Apply Photonic Crystals to Forensics
Photonic crystals -- materials with precise patterns of gaps that make them reflect only selected wavelengths of light -- could soon replace the traditional ink-based fingerprinting. In a new ... > more -
MRI Can Replace CT Scans, Reducing Cancer Risks
New studies by radiologists have shown that MRI can be just as accurate as CT scans at helping radiologists diagnose pathologies such as cancer, cysts and kidney stones -- while carrying less risk, ... > more -
Statisticians Show that High Altitude Makes Hits Longer
Two mathematicians at the University of Northern Colorado are taking a fresh statistical look at the effects of elevation on hitting -- specifically at Coors Field in Denver, where the field is at a ... > more
