With one in twelve people in the UK currently receiving treatment for asthma, Surrey’s sneezometer will help with the diagnosis & treatment of a wide range of respiratory diseases Research from the University of Surrey has led to the development of the world’s first ‘sneezometer’, an airflow sensor or ‘spirometer’ that is sensitive enough to

Among the most important is space solar power, an emerging critical technology that can significantly help to address energy shortages In the future, clean alternatives such as harvesting energy from electromagnetic waves may help ease the world’s energy shortage For our modern, technologically-advanced society, in which technology has become the solution to a myriad of

The World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 million people worldwide died from tuberculosis in 2008. It’s definitely a disease to be taken seriously, so when people in remote locations are being tested for it, it’s best if they don’t have to wait for their samples to be processed at a distant lab. That’s why medical

Scientists continue to discover more and more of the powerful greenhouse gas escaping from the thawing Arctic   Scientists have found more than 150,000 sites in the Arctic where methane is seeping into the atmosphere, according to a report published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience. Aerial and ground surveys in Alaska and Greenland revealed

Mayo’s role will emphasize peripheral nerve regeneration Mayo Clinic researchers are part of the second phase of a national consortium that focuses on developing innovative medical treatments for wounded veterans. Mayo’s role will emphasize peripheral nerve regeneration.

As a hard-working Ethiopian farmer, aged 58, he saw the purchase of the beast as a return to better times after several seasons in which drought and high prices had forced him to sell his livestock and take his grandchildren out of

“The impact of GapSense is huge in my opinion” The explosive popularity of wireless devices—from WiFi laptops to Bluetooth headsets to ZigBee sensor nodes—is increasingly clogging the airwaves, resulting in dropped calls, wasted bandwidth and botched connections. New software being developed at the University of Michigan works like a stoplight to control the traffic and

It’s possible to produce hydrogen to power fuel cells by extracting the gas from seawater, but the electricity required to do it makes the process costly. UCF researcher Yang Yang has come up with a new hybrid nanomaterial that harnesses solar energy and uses it to generate hydrogen from seawater more cheaply and efficiently than
