Technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years, changing how teachers interact with students inside and outside the classroom.

Medical consumers can take advantage of a wide variety of tests, such as checking cholesterol levels, determining cancer predisposition, DNA testing for paternity identification. These tests, however, come at a price. With Direct Access Testing (DAT), patients have the opportunity to take control of their healthcare.

Physicists at the University of Cincinnati are working to harness the power of nanowires, microscopic wires that have the potential to improve solar cells or revolutionise fibre optics. Nanotechnology has the potential to solve the bottleneck that occurs in storing or retrieving digital data - or could store data in a completely new way. UC professors and their graduate students presented their research at the March 13 conference o...

The buzzword in drone research is autonomous - having the unmanned aerial vehicle do most or all of its own flying. It's the only realistic way that drones will have commercially viable uses such as delivering that roll of toilet paper to customers, said Manish Kumar, associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering and Applied Science.

With new technology getting smaller and smaller, requiring greater energy support with more options, University of Cincinnati physics research points to new robust electrical potential using quantum nanowire structures. The tiny miracle fibers may lead to advances in sensitive electronic technology including heat detecting optical infrared sensors and biomedical testing, all of which can fit inside small electrical devices.
