Simulation Software Derives New Tricks from Math
Even old jugglers can learn new tricks from mathematics. Several computer algorithms are able to simulate the combinatorial patterns of juggling and generate new ones that even experienced jugglers ... > more -
Safer Ventilator Prevents Contamination From Water Condensation
Doctors can now keep patients who are in respiratory care safer with a new kind of ventilator. Ventilator oxygen is completely dry and needs to be humidified for the patient's comfort, but water can ... > more -
Human-Factors Engineers Focus on User-Friendliness
Human-factors engineers -- whose training includes psychology -- specialize in testing products for usability, for example checking whether a copying machine's legs get in the way, or measuring how ... > more -

Engineers Test Ventilated Seats And Thermal-Acoustic System To Make A/C Energy-Efficient
Engineers at a national lab have shown that small fans embedded in car seats could help cool passengers down -- saving up to 7 percent of the 30 to 40 gallons of gasoline per year an average driver ... > more -
Robotic Camera Will Take Motion X-Rays by Following Patients' Movements
Orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Whether it's pain in the knee, hip or shoulder, doctors have a difficult time making an exact diagnosis without surgery. ... > more -
Physical Chemists Develop New High-Capacity Storage Technology
Holograms allow permanent optical data storage and retrieval with far higher densities than CDs or DVDs, using the interference patterns of two lasers. Physical chemists are now developing the ... > more -
Physical Chemists Devise Quick Spectrometry-Based Mercury Test
Physical chemists have created a new, cheap test to detect mercury, an element known to harm the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and immune system. A gold nanorod absorbs mercury from a sample and, then ... > more -
Civil Engineers Learn from Dutch Flood Barrier System
A group of U.S. civil engineers and city officials went on a recent trip to the Netherlands -- a country much of which is below sea level -- to study the country's storm surge barrier system. The ... > more
