This opens up the possibility of using the 60 GHz band for applications requiring rapid data transfer, such as uncompressed transmission of HDTV, fast Internet access for passengers on airplanes and t...
Information Technology |Now, researchers using space-based lasers on a NASA satellite have created the most comprehensive inventory of lakes that actively drain or fill under Antarctica's ice. They have revealed a conti...
Earth Sciences |"We have shown that it is numerically possible to cloak objects of any shape that lie outside the cloaking devices, not just from single-frequency waves, but from actual pulses generated by a mul...
Physics and Astronomy |Don Sparling, associate professor of zoology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, tapped a few grains of salt from a shaker of into his hand, demonstrating how little pesticide it takes to kill...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Arizona researchers have added another piece to the mounting body of evidence that suggests during resuscitation efforts to treat patients in cardiac arrest, "passive ventilation" significan...
Health and Medicine |A previously unrecognized player in the process by which gases produced by trees and other plants become aerosols—microscopically small particles in the atmosphere—has been discovered by a research te...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks. The results are reported in the July 20th issue of Physical Review Letters and highlighted in APS'...
Physics and Astronomy |While prototypes of materials that self-seal cracks in buildings, roadways, airplanes, spacecraft and other devices are now under development, engineers still face the challenge of turning the multipl...
Materials Sciences |By sampling clouds -- and making their own -- researchers have shown for the first time a direct relation between lead in the sky and the formation of ice crystals that foster clouds. The results sugg...
Earth Sciences |About 15 percent of the world's tropical cyclones occur in the northern Indian Ocean, but because of high population densities along low-lying coastlines, the storms have caused nearly 80 percent...
Earth Sciences |“It is very important to get IDs on species that are struck,” he said. “If we don’t know which birds are struck then we don’t know how to prevent it.”The Indiana State University graduate (bac...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |The Department of Continuous Media and Structural Theory at the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with the aeronautical companies EADS-CASA, EADS-SOCATA (France) and AERNNOVA, i...
Transportation and Logistics |This property, described as "plastic flow", allows many plastics to change shape to absorb energy rather than breaking apart, says University of Wisconsin-Madison chemistry professor Mark Ed...
Materials Sciences |One million revolutions per minute In future it can be expected that the drill used in material processing will become even faster and the compressor used for vehicles and airplanes even more ...
Power and Electrical Engineering |Professor Jøran Moen at the Institute of Physics plans to fire a rocket from New Aalesund on the Svalbard archipelago some time between the end of November and beginning of December in order to solve ...
