- World's smallest radio fits in the palm of the hand...of an ant
11-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Harnessing the electrical and mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube, a team of researchers has crafted a working radio from a single fiber of that material.Fixed between two electrodes, the vibrating tube successfully performed the four critical roles of a radio -- antenna, tunable filter, amplifier and demodulator -- to tune in a radio signal generated in the room and play it back through an attached speaker.

- UCLA engineering researchers capture optical 'rogue waves'
12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have succeeded in creating and capturing rogue waves. In their experiments, they have discovered optical rogue waves -- freak, brief pulses of intense light analogous to the infamous oceanic monsters -- propagating through optical fiber. Their findings appear in the Dec. 13 issue of the journal Nature.

- For the first time, patterns of excitation waves found in brain's visual processing center
07-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
Neuroscientists have long believed that vision is processed in the brain along circuits made up of neurons, similar to the way telephone signals are transferred through separate wires from one station to another. But scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center discovered that visual information is also processed in a different way, like propagating waves oscillating back and forth among brain areas.

- SCAI highlights study using wireless technology to speed care of heart attack patients
05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine paramedics mobilizing a team of cardiologists and nurses within minutes of arriving at the home of a person who is having a heart attack, simply by pressing a button that sends an electrocardiogram over a wireless network. That's what's being done at a Newark, N.J., medical center, and it's dramatically improving the quality of care, according to a study honored as the best abstract presented at the 30th annual Scientific Sessions of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.

- How baby fish find a home
01-16-2008 · EurekAlert!
University of Miami researcher Claire Paris will use a groundbreaking observational tool, the OWNFOR (Orientation With No Frame Of Reference), a kite-like drifting device that allows researchers to detect and quantify the orientation of larval coral reef fish in the pelagic environment. This invention provides a less labor intensive, more precise way of tracking the dispersal of larval and juvenile marine species. The OWNFOR larval monitoring system will be tested through funding from the Australian Museum; Hermon Slade Foundation.

- 'Hybrid' semiconductors show zero thermal expansion; Could lead to hardier electronics
12-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
The fan in your computer is there to keep the microprocessor chip from heating to the point where its component materials start to expand, inducing cracks that interrupt the flow of electricity -- and not incidentally, ruin the chip. Thermal expansion can also separate semiconducting materials from the substrate, reduce performance through changes in the electronic structure of the material or warp the delicate structures that emit laser light.

- Astronomers find first ever gamma ray clock
11-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
Astronomers using the H.E.S.S. telescopes have discovered the first ever modulated signal from space in Very High Energy Gamma Rays -- the most energetic such signal ever observed. Regular signals from space have been known since the 1960s, when the first radio pulsar (nicknamed Little Green Men-1 for its regular nature) was discovered. This is the first time a signal has been seen at such high energies -- 100,000 times higher than previously known.

- Batters may achieve dramatic increases in home runs through steroids
09-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Steroid use by a Major League Baseball slugger may produce only modest increases in muscle mass and bat and ball speed but still boost home run production by 50 percent or more, according to a new study by Tufts University physicist and baseball enthusiast Roger Tobin.
