Getting amped: Instrument for exploring the cosmos and the quantum world created

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 01:19 PM PDT

Researchers have developed a new type of amplifier for boosting electrical signals. The device can be used for everything from studying stars, galaxies, and black holes to exploring the quantum world and developing quantum computers.

Mechanical engineers develop an 'intelligent co-pilot' for cars

Mechanical engineers have developed a new semiautonomous safety system for automobiles.

New tech for complex micro structures for use in sensors and other apps

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 06:16 AM PDT

Chemists have developed new materials and nanofabrication techniques for building miniaturized versions of components needed for medical diagnostics, sensors and other applications. These miniaturized components -- many impossible to make with conventional techniques -- would allow for rapid analysis at lower cost and with small sample volumes.

Glasses-free 3-D TV looks nearer: Multiple-perspective method could beat holography in short term

Posted: 13 Jul 2012 05:08 AM PDT

As striking as it is, the illusion of depth now routinely offered by 3-D movies is a paltry facsimile of a true three-dimensional visual experience. In the real world, as you move around an object, your perspective on it changes. But in a movie theater showing a 3-D movie, everyone in the audience has the same, fixed perspective -- and has to wear cumbersome glasses, to boot. Despite impressive recent advances, holographic television, which would present images that vary with varying perspectives, probably remains some distance in the future. But in a new paper, researchers offer a new approach to multiple-perspective, glasses-free 3-D that could prove much more practical in the short term.

Advanced drug testing method detects 'spice' drugs
