Micro-X-Ray Fluorescence Also Provides Spectroscopic Information
Ordinary invasive fingerprinting techniques, such as dusting, are prone to damaging evidence. Micro-X-ray fluorescence images fingerprints without touching them. By stimulating atoms to emit ... > more -
Industrial Toxicologists Develop Cost-Effective, Life-Saving Disinfection
Industrial toxicologists at a non-profit venture founded by Procter & Gamble developed PUR, a water purifier that combines a flocculant -- which separates particles and organisms from water -- ... > more -
Sniffing Dog Provides Cost-Effective Contamination Detection
America's only dog that's trained to sniff mercury is able to detect as little as a half-gram, and is faster and cheaper than traditional lab analysis. Dogs' olfactory membranes are larger and 44 ... > more -

3D Imaging System Helps Athletes Recover from Injuries
A new computer-based system gives physical therapists real-time, objective measures of the motion of each joint in the patient's body. The system uses magnetic trackers to read the positions of ... > more -
Astrophysicist Develops Software to Aid Football Coaches
Computers could one day help football coaches make strategic decisions, such as going for the touchdown or for the kick, or accept the penalty or declining it. New software designed by an ... > more -
Acoustic Waves Could Help Put Out Flames in Zero-Gravity Environments
Aboard NASA's "Weightless Wonder" airplane, physicists are experimenting with combustion and fluid flows in zero-g and developing a fire extinguishing system based on sound waves. The technique could ... > more -
EMG Helps Physiatrists Find Causes of Pain
Electromyography (EMG) detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells, and can test nerve function. EMG can help physiatrists pin down the cause of back pain in cases such as spinal ... > more -
Pressure Sensors and Transducers Help Make Dummies More Life-Like
Electrical, computer, and biological engineering combine in creating baby-patient simulators for training new pediatricians. A new simulator incorporates microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) and ... > more -
Structural Engineers Develop Disaster-Resistant Technology
A new bridge design replaces reinforced concrete columns and bars with steel tubes filled with concrete. The steel and concrete bind, creating strong yet supple columns For the bridge pier's footing, ... > more -
Portable Machines Go Beyond Prenatal Uses
Ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off body parts, producing echoes. A computer translates the echoes into images that rival the quality of CAT scans and MRIs, showing broken bones, muscle ... > more
