TERC Sensor
A new device will soon help
troops communicate on a
noisy battlefield. The Tuned
Electromagnetic Resonance
Collar -- or TERC sensor --
detects changes in the
electrical field around the
neck produced by moving

Detecting Turbulence
A mathematician developed a
system that creates a
three-dimensional view of
turbulence and transmits it
to airliner cockpits. The
new algorithm analyzes data
gathered by Next Generation
Doppler Radars and sends a

Shedding Light on Bladder Cancer
Some bladder cancer tumors
are so small, surgeons can't
see them. Urologist Edward
Messing is using a new
liquid dye that reacts to
light to help him see all
the small bladder tumors

Smart Sensors for Disasters
A new wireless system
assesses injury in a
structure after it is hit by
a natural disaster such as a
hurricane. When a building
shakes, sensors records the
frequency of the movement.

Electrical, Computer Engineers Make Laptops Locate Themselves with Motion Sensors
Engineers have designed motion sensors so small they can fit inside a laptop computer or even a handheld device, where they can transmit data back wirelessly. New software uses the data to ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Use Hi-Res Narrow-Band Imaging to Find Cancer
Gastroenterologists Use Hi-Res Narrow-Band Imaging To Find Cancer New optical technologies are helping gastroenterologists improve cancer detection using colonoscopy. A new endoscope uses HDTV ... > more -
Ecologists Deploy Wireless Sensors for Early Detection of Wildfires
New fire-sensing devices can spot a fire in its earliest stages, up to six miles away, and they can relay the information to emergency responders through a computer network and even automatically ... > more -
Robotic Camera Will Take Motion X-Rays by Following Patients' Movements
Orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Whether it's pain in the knee, hip or shoulder, doctors have a difficult time making an exact diagnosis without surgery. ... > more -
Chemists Create Self-assembling Conductive Rubber
Polymer chemists have created a flexible, indestructible material, called metal rubber, that can be heated, frozen, washed or doused with jet fuel, and still retain its electricity-conducting ... > more -
Physicists Create Highly Sensitive Explosives Detector
A tiny sensor that monitors electrical conductivity allows scientists to detect the presence of explosives. The sensor measures the conductivity of two different thin films, one made of a cobalt ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers use Fluorescence Spectroscopy Inside Coronary Arteries
So-called vulnerable plaque is the most dangerous type of build-up in the coronary arteries. A new technique, called laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, uses fiber optics to determine what kind ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Have New Bug-Inspired Robot That Senses Its Way With Flexible Antenna
Researchers have developed a flexible, sensor-laden artificial antenna to help a robotic "bug" move and navigate just like the common cockroach. The bug can curry along walls, turn corners, avoid ... > more -
Applied Physicist Invents Training Golf Club with Audio Feedback
A new golf club uses motion-detection sensors and wireless technology to coach players through the use of sound. A golfer can "hear" the speed of the swing in wireless headphones, and adjust swings ... > more -
Entomologists Train Insects to Act Like Sniffing Dogs
If rewarded with sugary water, wasps can be trained in minutes to follow specific smells. The olfactory sensors in their antennae can sense chemicals in the air in concentrations as tiny as a few ... > more
