Mechanical Engineers Create High-tech Solar Panels
Photovoltaic panels have a new design: concentric circles that focus the sun's rays on miniaturized modules. Having the panels automatically sense sunlight and turn towards it also makes these ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Money-saving Light System
A photosensor paired with a dimming ballast controls fluorescent lighting and adjusts lights all over the user's home. A microcontroller automatically calibrates amounts of daylight and adjusts ... > more -
Doppler-based Stethoscope Ignores Outside Sounds
A new ultrasound stethoscope ignores outside noise, allowing medics to hear life-saving sounds inside the body. Developed by electrical engineers, the device exploits the Doppler effect as it sends ... > more -
Chemists Create Self-assembling Conductive Rubber
Polymer chemists have created a flexible, indestructible material, called metal rubber, that can be heated, frozen, washed or doused with jet fuel, and still retain its electricity-conducting ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
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 -
Finding A Whatchamacallit On The Web
VizSeek is one of the first search engines on the Internet to use a photograph, a 2D image, or a 3D model and transform it into a 3D shape. The search can be narrowed with additional information. The ... > more -
Neurologists Use New Brain Scanning Device To Better Control Seizures
Doctors are now using a new kind of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures brain activity in real time. In some cases, MEG can pinpoint the source of an epileptic seizure much ... > more -
