Meteorologists, Wind Engineers Standardize Fujita Scale
The Fujita Scale rates tornadoes based on the damage inflicted upon buildings, so accurate rating requires knowing how resistant buildings were in the first place. Starting February 2007, the ... > more -
Physicists, Engineers Capture Lightning with Tethered Rockets
To study lightning, scientists use rockets connected to the ground by wires. They fire the rockets into clouds, triggering electrical discharges, and storing their power. They have found that ... > more -

Pharmacists Use Spectroscopy to Avoid Administering Wrong Medication
A new optical device helps reduce medication errors by recognizing medications in 30 seconds, through their unique fluorescence fingerprints. Administering the right drugs can save lives, especially ... > more -
Human-Interface Engineers Create Virtual-Reality Experience by Letting Users Walk in Rotating Sphere
A new invention allows users to explore virtual worlds while moving around safely in their real physical environment. Wearing a virtual-reality helmet, users walk inside a rotating, hollow sphere, ... > more -
Interventional Neuroradiologists Treat Brain Strokes with New Kind of Stent
A new "wingspan" stent helps restore blood flow for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease, or ICAD. Surgeons insert the stent up the leg arteries, guide it to the brain, then let its ... > more -
Seismologists Use Ultrasounds to Assess Quakes Faster
Using ultrasound imaging, seismologists can now determine the epicenter and magnitude of an earthquake quake within 10 to 20 minutes, precisely imaging which fault ruptured and where the rupture ... > more -
Thoracic Surgeons Help Healthy Lung Tissue Expand in Emphysema Patients
By implanting a valve through the bronchia, surgeons can now prevent air from getting trapped in emphysema-stricken lungs. The valve deflates the diseased parts of the lung, making space for healthy ... > more -

Computer Engineers Develop Clothes that Sense and Interpret Movements
New "electronic textiles" could help monitor the activities of patients with chronic illnesses. Computer engineers have developed pants with sensors embedded in the fabric that measure speed, ... > more -
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 Envision Broad, Transformational Use of Flash Memory
With their high capability and no moving parts, flash drives safely store data in camera memory sticks and in some MP3 players, and they also hide in gadgets such as cell phones. Experts say once ... > more
