Physicists Develop Ultrasound Alternative To Mammograms
Radiologists suspend a patient's breast in water, and then send sound waves through the water in order to image breast tissue. The device uses 256 ultrasonic sensors to assemble 50 to 70 two ... > more -
Computer Scientists Investigate Traffic Lights To Improve Fuel Economy
Using a mathematical model, transportation engineers can design optimum traffic light timing patterns for the fewest stops and driving delays. Improving traffic flow would decrease fuel consumption. ... > more -
Engineers' Case Protects America’s Birth Certificate
Engineers designed a case to protect the map that first used the word "America" to describe the land masses now called North and South America. The air-tight container is made of two large sheets of ... > more -
Physicists Create Highly Sensitive Explosives Detector
A tiny sensor that monitors electrical conductivity allows scientists to detect the presence of explosives. The sensor measures the conductivity of two different thin films, one made of a cobalt ... > more -
Food Chemists Use 'Edible Antifreeze' To Make Smoother Ice Cream
Chemists adding a tasteless edible protein called gelatin hydrolysate to ice cream find that it keeps ice crystals small, resulting in a smoother, more pleasing product. The protein inhibits the ... > more -
Engineers Use 3D Modeling To Redesign Highway Safety Barriers
Principles of engineering and physics allow researchers to better understand the steps necessary to improve the design of safety barriers. To optimize the design, mechanical engineers are using ... > more -
Chemical Engineers Call On Nanoparticles To Combat Polluted Groundwater
Chemical engineers created nanoparticles out of gold and palladium to break down pollutants in groundwater. Adding the particles to groundwater converts dangerous contaminants like trichloroethylene ... > more -
Roboticists Create Rover To Move And Drill On The Moon
Engineers and robiticists created a robot to explore the moon. Running on the same amount of power as a 100-watt light bulb the rover uses heat from radiation to support its sensors, movement, and ... > more -
