Mathematician Calms The Skies With Turbulence Detection Algorithm
A mathematician developed a system that creates a three-dimensional view of turbulence and transmits it to airliner cockpits. The new algorithm analyzes data gathered by Next Generation Doppler ... > more -
Arborists Catalogue Tree Details To Measure Their Impact On A City
Arborists and volunteers are combing the streets of Baltimore and other cities, counting trees and gathering information about them. The information they compile will be entered into a computer and ... > more -
Materials Scientist Introduces Kids To The Science Of Everyday Stuff
Materials scientists are touring the country with a traveling museum exhibit about the science of stuff. They introduce people to the innovations of their discipline, everything from the lightest ... > more -
Computational Neuroscientists And Engineers Build Robot That Teaches Itself To Walk Up And Down Hills
Computational neuroscientists designed a robot that teaches itself how to walk on differing terrain. The RunBot uses an infrared eye to detect slopes, and adjusts its gait for the smoothest walk. ... > more -
Chemists Use Polymers To Develop Thicker And More Durable Paint
Chemists have added polymers to a new paint that dries faster and requires no second coat or primer. The paint uses long polymer chains to surround pigments, which makes it easier for latex spheres ... > more -
Computer Scientists And Engineers Design A Car Driven By Computers
Computer scientists and engineers worked together to create a robotic car that can operate autonomously. Computers process information from the navigation system, laser sensors, and video cameras to ... > more -
Radiologists Use Light To Scan The Inner Workings Of The Brain
Radiologists have developed a new device to understand brain activity. It is a collection of fiber optic cables attached to a flexible cap placed atop the head. The cables send near-infrared light ... > more -
Fluid Dynamics Class Inspires College Student To Develop 'Plasma Paddles'
As a kid, Stephen Taylor didn't just want to play video games ... he wanted to invent them too. Now, his dream is reality. Bored during a college break, he developed a video game called Plasma ... > more -
Architectural Engineers Design Homes To Withstand Earthquakes
Engineers have designed windows and walls that will not break when shaken by the intense motion caused by earthquakes. By installing glass panels that do not touch the corners of the frame, ... > more -
Engineers Measure Blood Alcohol Content With Spectroscopy
Using optical technology, engineers created a way to measure the amount of alcohol in a driver’s skin. They use near-infrared absorption spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol content. The light ... > more
