Researchers develop an innovative system for producing carpets
	In Europe 700 million square metres of carpets are produced each year, and in the United States the volume is ten times higher.

Researchers develop skin that can "feel" for robots
	Robots will soon be able to feel heat or gentle touching on their surfaces. Researchers of the Excellence Cluster CoTeSys at the Technical University Munich (Technische Universität München, TUM) are now producing small hexagonal plates which when joined together form a sensitive skin for “machines with brains.”

Putting WiFi to "sleep" can double battery life
	A Duke University graduate student has found a way to increase the battery life of mobile devices – such as smartphones or laptop computers – by making changes to how WiFi technology works.

Changing the future of chip manufacturing
	MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics has shown how to make e-beam lithography, commonly used to prototype computer chips, more practical as a mass-production technique.

Smartphone app. automatically tags photos
	Well, so much for tagging photographs with names, locations and activities yourself -- a new cell phone application can take care of that for you.

Research on the robotic hand of the future

HANDLE is a large scale “Integrated Project” that is part of the Seventh European Framework Programme FP7; Spain is a participant in the project, whose goal is to reach an understanding of how humans manipulate objects in order to replicate its grasping and movement abilities in an artificial, anthropomorphic articulated hand, thus endowing it with greater autonomy and producing natural and effective movements.

Research: Ultrafast lasers produce low-noise microwave signals
	NIST physicists have generated microwave signals by combining advanced laser technologies in a new way, that are more pure and stable than those from conventional electronic sources.

New app. for monitoring Parkinson's disease
	Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a novel iPhone application that may enable persons with Parkinson's disease and certain other neurological conditions to use the ubiquitous devices to collect data on hand and arm tremors and relay the results to medical personnel.

Artificial intelligence created to mimic neural interconnections in people with spinal injuries
	Frontier research focuses on developing new computational techniques that improve our understanding of how neural circuits are modified following a spinal cord injury. This paves the way for the design and fabrication of prostheses that facilitate the medical rehabilitation of people affected by spinal cord injuries or neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Cost-Effective Coal-Powered Fuel Cells?
	Using barium oxide nanoparticles, researchers have developed a self-cleaning technique that could allow solid oxide fuel cells to be powered directly by coal gas at operating temperatures as low as 750 degrees Celsius. The technique could provide a cleaner and more efficient alternative to conventional power plants for generating electricity from the nation’s vast coal reserves.
