- Feeling the heat
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
Energy now lost as heat during the production of electricity could be harnessed through the use of silicon nanowires synthesized via a technique developed by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE's hydrogen fuel cell-powered "Freedom CAR," and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.

- DNA computing targets West Nile Virus, other deadly diseases
10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers say that they have developed a DNA-based computer that could lead to faster, more accurate tests for diagnosing West Nile Virus and bird flu. Representing the first 'medium-scale integrated molecular circuit,' it is the most powerful computing device of its type to date, they say. In the future, the new technology could be used to develop instruments that can simultaneously diagnose and treat cancer, diabetes or other diseases, the scientists suggest.

- Better life support for artificial liver cells
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Ohio State University are developing technology for keeping liver cells alive and functioning normally inside bioartificial liver-assist devices. Such devices enable people who are suffering from acute liver failure to survive while their own liver cells regenerate, or until they receive a liver transplant. The person's blood or plasma circulates through the device. Inside, living cells -- usually pig or human liver cells -- perform normal liver functions.

- MIT demonstrates wireless power transfer
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine a future in which wireless power transfer is feasible: cell phones, household robots, mp3 players, laptop computers, and other portable electronics capable of charging themselves without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate. Now an MIT team has experimentally demonstrated an important step toward accomplishing this vision of the future.
