Viewing fusion with worlds fastest light deflector FUSION, the world’s great promise for a source of clean and virtually limitless energy, could replicate the very process that powers the stars to meet our most pressing needs on Earth. Lawrence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) is conducting experiments aimed at achieving fusion ignition and energy gain, the process whereby more energy is released than is required to initiate the fusion reaction.

Acoustic Cloak Research Researchers have taken another step towards achieving what is known as "acoustic undetectability.

Automating Cell Cultures Cell cultures form the basis of day-to-day research work in applications that range from the development of drugs and vaccines to the decoding of functions of individual genes. Up until now, cell cultures have been sown, tended, observed and transferred to vessels – all by hand. A new device automates these worksteps completely.

A smarter, better managed factory The time it takes for new products to come to market is getting ever shorter. As a consequence, goods are being produced using manufacturing facilities and IT systems that were designed with completely different models in mind. Fraunhofer developers want to make factories smarter so they can react to changes of their own accord.

Microlenses for 3-D endoscopes Modern endoscopic techniques enable doctors to perform surgery without major incisions. Certain interventions require instruments with special 3-D optics. Researchers have developed an image sensor that transmits perfect 3-D images from inside the human body thanks to the use of microlenses.

'Mirage-effect' helps researchers cloak objects Researchers have created a functional cloaking device that not only takes advantage of one of nature's most bizarre phenomenon, but also boasts unique features; it has an "on and off" switch and is best used underwater.

New Method to Stop Steel From Oxidizing Research which looks at how application of electromagnetic fields (EMF) of high intensity to steel can protect against corrosion and make savings of 50 percent is being carried out by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire.
