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 -
Microbiologists and Astrobiologists Help Kids Discover New Species
Extremophiles are microbes that have adapted to extreme environments, such as Utah's Great Salt Lake. But new microorganisms can be found in everyday places, and scientists are showing school kids ... > more -
Civil Engineers Track Roaming Cell Phones to Monitor Traffic
Real-time cell phone use data can now be turned into better travel information. The new system, being tested in some states, follows the movement of cell phone signals from one cell tower to another. ... > more -
Auto Designers Test Possibilities Offered by New Materials
New plastics may soon replace metals in auto bodies. Designers are beginning to discover a whole new world of possibilities offered by materials that can be bent into futuristic ... > more -
Automotive Engineers Bend New Materials into Futuristic Shapes
New materials for car bodies may soon transform the auto industry. Auto engineers can mold these carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics into virtually any shape. The materials are both strong and light -- ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Develop Microplasma Device to Detect Toxins
Electrical engineers have developed a new, portable lab that identifies chemicals by their unique color signatures. It is the first such device to be portable, allowing scientists to recognize ... > more -
Cardiologists Use Medical Physics to Pinpoint Cause of Chest Pains
Unless a patient with chest pain is checked out right away, it can be difficult to diagnose a heart condition, as opposed to less life-threatening causes such as heartburn. A new stress test can spot ... > more -
Pathologists Use Digital Imaging to Speed Up Cancer Diagnosis
A new digital microscopy system allows doctors to examine biopsy tissue and diagnose breast cancer within hours instead of weeks. The same instrument can be used for all kinds of cancers, and it ... > more -
Physicists Usher In Energy-Saving LED Lighting
Thanks to advances in physics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will soon move from traffic lights and electronics panels to home lighting, bringing dramatic energy savings, adjustable colors for ... > more -
Materials Scientists Create Polymer Coating Against Fogged Glass
When moisture condenses on a cool surface, droplets can form that are the right size to scatter light, fogging up glass. A new polymer coating draws droplets into nanopores and transforms them into a ... > more
