Electrical Engineering Student Designs Early-Warning System for Harmful Gases
Respirators save lives for the first responders who wear them, but their cartridges need to be changed often. Without knowing it, users could be inhaling deadly gases. Electrical engineering student ... > more -
Ergonomists Measure Benefits of Keyboard for Smaller Hands
A new, smaller-sized piano keyboard helps smaller players conquer complex piano pieces -- without missing a note traditional-size keyboards are too big for many pianists, causing pain and injury. The ... > more -
Forensic Anthropologists Reconstruct First President's Real Looks
Using 3D laser scans of sculptures and processing images with math-based computer software, forensic anthropologists are making life-size models of George Washington at ages 19, 45, and 57. An ... > more -
In Hospitals, Air Ducts with Silver-Based Coating Stay Germ-Free
Preventing hospital infections -- from such stubborn bugs as Staphylococcus aureus -- could get a little easier with a new non-toxic, silver-based material. Used in coating, it helps keep hospital ... > more -
Physicist Calls for Airline Industry to Educate Workers about Radiation Levels
At the high altitudes and latitudes commercial airlines fly, crews are subjected to higher-than-normal radiation levels from the sun and cosmic rays. Physicist Robert Barish believes airline crew ... > 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 -
Vascular Surgeons Lower Blood Pressure with Implanted Device
A new cell phone-sized implant can keep blood pressure in check from within the chest, just like a pacemaker controls heartbeats. When the device detects a rise in pressure, it sends electrical ... > more
