Physiologists Create Undergarment To Measure Vital Signs Of Firefighters
Industrial hygienists designed a flexible undergarment to take accurate readings of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. They monitor these indicators to protect ... > more -
Engineers Use Mine Roof Simulator To Increase Mine Safety
Industrial hygienists, applying geology and engineering, can test mine support systems with the only mine roof simulator of its kind. Using up to 3 million pounds of vertical force and 1.6 million ... > more -
Cognitive Scientists Use fMRI To Watch Brains While Eyes Search
Cognitive scientists ran an experiment to understand how the brain searches for an object with a known shape. They asked subjects to track the movement of dots, and used fMRI to see which parts of ... > more -
Physiologists Design Advanced Suit To Cool Firefighters
Safety scientists used principles of physiology to help keep firefighters cool in the high temperature environments they often encounter. Traditional firefighting gear considers the heat of the fire, ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Use Optics To Detect Early Stages Of Colon Cancer
Biomedical engineers have developed a new technique to detect colon cancer. A thin optical fiber shines light onto the interior of the colon. Computer analysis of the backscattered light indicates if ... > more -
Materials Scientists Design High Tech Hockey Jersey
Materials Scientists, working with textile designers, tested new designs for the National Hockey League’s ergonomic and heat-releasing jerseys. In a climate-controlled chamber, they used a ... > more -
Mathematician Calms The Skies With Turbulence Detection Algorithm
A mathematician developed a system that creates a three-dimensional view of turbulence and transmits it to airliner cockpits. The new algorithm analyzes data gathered by Next Generation Doppler ... > more -
Materials Scientist Introduces Kids To The Science Of Everyday Stuff
Materials scientists are touring the country with a traveling museum exhibit about the science of stuff. They introduce people to the innovations of their discipline, everything from the lightest ... > more -
Physicists Explain How To Sail Faster Than The Wind
Physicists know the secrets of sailing that many novice sailors do not. A boat does not go fastest when the wind blows from directly behind it, but when the wind comes from the side. With the sails ... > more -
Chemists Use Polymers To Develop Thicker And More Durable Paint
Chemists have added polymers to a new paint that dries faster and requires no second coat or primer. The paint uses long polymer chains to surround pigments, which makes it easier for latex spheres ... > more
