Portable cocaine sensor developed
A real-time sensor for detecting cocaine -- made with inexpensive, off-the-shelf electronics -- has been developed by a team of researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
New sensor technology detects chemical, biological, nuclear and explosive materials
Engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, using an emerging sensing technology, have developed a suite of sensors for national security applications that can quickly and effectively detect chemical, biological, nuclear and explosive materials.
Light detector may speed up interplanetary communications
MIT researchers have developed a tiny light detector that may allow for super-fast broadband communications over interplanetary distances. Currently, even still images from other planets are difficult to retrieve.
New sensor will help guarantee freshness
Grocers, florists and even pharmacists may soon have a better way to monitor the quality of the products they get from suppliers: a sensor that will tell how long before a product spoils or passes its expiration date.
New wrinkle in the mystery of high-Tc superconductors
In the twenty years since the discovery of high-temperature (Tc) superconductors, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanism by which electrons pair up and move coherently to carry electrical current with no resistance.
Hybrid network delivers wired/wireless service
Telecommunications researchers have demonstrated a novel communications network design that would provide both ultra-high-speed wireless and wired access services from the same signals carried on a single optical fiber.
RESEARCHERS TEACH COMPUTERS TO PERCEIVE THREE DIMENSIONS IN 2-D IMAGES
We live in a three-dimensional world but, for the most part, we see it in two dimensions. Discerning how objects and surfaces are juxtaposed in an image is second nature for people, but it's something that has long flummoxed computer vision systems.
RESEARCHERS BUILD AN ULTRASOUND VERSION OF THE LASER
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Missouri-Rolla have built an ultrasound analogue of the laser.
Rough roads are highway robbers
Rough roads impose a hidden tax on motorists in wear and tear, depreciation and higher fuel use that can add 20 cents a mile over the cost of driving on smooth surfaces, says Lynne Irwin, Cornell associate professor of highway engineering.
magnetic field research could make computers 500 times more powerful
Magnetic fields created using nanotechnology could make computers up to 500 times more powerful, if new research is successful.

device burns fuel with almost zero emissions
Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices
Georgia Tech/IBM announce new chip speed record
A research team from IBM and the Georgia Institute of Technology has demonstrated the first silicon-germanium transistor able to operate at frequencies above 500 GHz.
: Armed with cannons, cranes and wind machines, engineers test houses
The wind roared against the house. Shingles and tar paper flew off the roof, exposing bare plywood.
NNSA announces new mark for world's fastest supercomputer
The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and IBM teamed up to announce
Tsunami warning is race against time
University scientists using Global Positioning System (GPS) software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., have shown that GPS can determine, within minutes, whether an earthquake is big enough to generate an ocean-wide tsunami
Scientists make first nanoscale ph meter
Using unique nanoparticles that convert laser light into useful information, Rice University scientists have created the world's first nano-sized pH meter.

Mobile data retrieval improved with new algorithm
Penn State researchers have developed a new algorithm which enables cell-phone users to fetch data from music to TV shows as quickly as feasible with minimal channel switches.
Breakthrough in silicon photonics devices
Building on a series of recent breakthroughs in silicon photonics, researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a novel approach to silicon devices that combines light amplification with a photovoltaic – or solar panel – effect
System blocks unwanted video & still photography
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have completed a prototype device that can block digital-camera function in a given area. Commercial versions of the technology could be used to stymie unwanted use of video or still cameras
