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 -
Biomedical Engineers' 'Body-on-a-Chip' Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new ... > more -

Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
A new robot made of ultralight carbon-fiber can stand or slowly walk on water. The principle it uses is borrowed from insects -- surface tension tends to prevent the water's surface from breaking, ... > more -
Acoustical Oceanographers Record Noises in the Deep
Manmade and natural sounds, from boat engines to rainfall, sound different below the sea surface. To study their impact of noise on marine life, scientists are submerging devices called Passive ... > more -
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineers Show Human Locomotion Optimizes Energy Use
Computer models of human locomotion are helping engineers understand why walk and run instead of hopping and skipping. The models are revealing that walking and running are the most energy-saving ... > more -
Engineers Create Exhibits on Achievements, Promise
Nanotechnology has already brought advances such as self-cleaning windows and energy-efficient LED lighting, and could soon deliver medical breakthroughs. To educate the public about nanotechnology's ... > more -
Exhibit Delves into Science of Taste and Smell
An exhibit at San Francisco's Exploratorium explains the science of cooking and eating, and in particular how we taste food. Our sense of taste comes from a combination of smell receptors in the nose ... > more
