UCSC computer scientists develop solutions for long-term storage of digital data
Although the digital age is well under way, one crucial detail remains to be worked out--how to store vast amounts of digital information in a way that allows future generations to recover it.
Engineering prof builds brains for robotic cars
Jonathan Sprinkle wants to build robotic vehicles that pass the Turing Test. The test, proposed by Alan Turing in a 1950 paper, "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," requires a robot's behavior to be so lifelike that an observer can't tell if he's dealing with a robot or a person.
Bridging the green led gap to provide greener lighting
Nelson Tansu and Volkmar Dierolf recently received a grant to study methods of improving the efficiency of white LEDs.
Researchers mimic bacteria to produce magnetic nanoparticles
When it comes to designing something, it's hard to find a better source of inspiration than Mother Nature. Using that principle, a diverse, interdisciplinary group of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory is mimicking bacteria to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles that could be used for drug targeting and delivery, in magnetic inks and high-density memory devices, or as magnetic seals in motors.
I'm listening -- conversations with computers
A computer system that can carry on a discussion with a human being by reacting to signals such as tone of voice and facial expression, is being developed by an international team including Queen's University Belfast.

Hubble maps the changing constellation of internet 'black holes'
You're trying to log on to a Web site and it's not working. You try again and again. But persistence doesn't pay off. The site you want is inexplicably, frustratingly, out of reach.
Researchers classify web searches
Although millions of people use Web search engines, researchers show that – by using relatively simple methods – most queries submitted can be classified into one of three categories.
Expert foresees 10 more years of r&d to make solar energy competitive
Despite oil prices that hover around $100 a barrel, it may take at least 10 or more years of intensive research and development to reduce the cost of solar energy to levels competitive with petroleum, according to an authority on the topic.
Promising new nanotechnology for spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury often leads to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury because the damaged nerve fibers can't regenerate. The nerve fibers or axons have the capacity to grow again, but don't because they're blocked by scar tissue that develops around the injury.
Nano-sized technology has super-sized effect on tumors
Anyone facing chemotherapy would welcome an advance promising to dramatically reduce their dose of these often harsh drugs. Using nanotechnology, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have taken a step closer to that goal.

| Quotes | Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, What! You too? I thought I was the only one! -- C.S. Lewis
For the man who has everything. -- A sign in a Manchester shop above a display for burglar alarms
For the scientific acquisition of knowledge is almost as tedious as the routine acquisition of wealth. — Eric Linklater (1899-1974)
