The University of Southampton is to develop a bio-medical sensor based on silicon nanowires.

A novel architecture that allows a Si/SiGe amplifier to provide 26-30dB of gain at 100GHz - which is claimed to be a record by the University of California, San Diego - was unveiled this week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco.

Researchers at the University of Manchester have found a way to predictably switch graphene out of its highly-conductive mode.

The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, has tested the first of its miniature deep marine chemical sensors - 1600m down off the Canary Islands.

University of Michigan researchers claim to have automated the removal of software bugs that stall multi-threaded embedded software.

University of Oxford spin out Intelligent Sustainable Energy (ISE) is to make electricity meters so smart that they can recognise which domestic appliance is operating at any time.

The sixtieth anniversary of Alan Turing's arrival at the University of Manchester has been celebrated in music made from sounds recorded around a PC.

A research expedition investigated potential threats from tsunamis to coastal communities along the west European margin,” said the National Oceanography Centre at Southampton

The flyer is powered by has six rotors mounted at three different angles, an arrangement dubbed HexRotor, and is powered by Li-ion cells

Scientists at Berkeley fabricate negative refractive index materials for visible and near-infrared light. "It is the first bulk material that can be described as having optical magnetism, so both the electrical and magnetic fields in a light wave move backward in the material," they say.
