Water purification down the nanotubes
Nanotechnology could be the answer to ensuring a safe supply of drinking water
for regions of the world stricken by periodic drought or where water
contamination is rife. Writing in the International Journal of Nuclear
Desalination, researchers in India explain how carbon nanotubes could replace
conventional materials in water-purification systems.

Keeping an eye on intruders
Electronic fingerprinting, iris scans, and signature recognition software are
all becoming commonplace biometrics for user authentication and security.
However, they all suffer from one major drawback -- they can be spoofed by a
sufficiently sophisticated intruder. Writing in the International Journal of
Biometrics, Japanese researchers describe a new approach based on a person's
reflexes that could never be copied, forged, or spoofed.

Probably wireless
Wireless sensor networks used to detect and report events including hurricanes,
earthquakes, and forest fires and for military surveillance and anti-terrorist
activities are prone to subterfuge. In the International Journal of Security and
Networks, computer scientists at Florida Atlantic University describe a new
anti-hacking system to protect WSNs.

Seeing through tooth decay
Dental caries afflict at least 90 percent of the world's population at some time
in their lives. Detecting the first signs of this disease, which can be lethal
in extreme cases, just got easier thanks to work by researchers in India
discussed in the latest issue of the International Journal of Biomedical
Engineering and Technology.

Asthma monitoring on the Web
An inexpensive web-enabled device for measuring lung function in patients with
asthma and other disorders is being developed by researchers at Texas
Instruments, in Bangalore, India, and co-workers. Writing in the International
Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, the team explains how the
devise could allow physicians to monitor their patients remotely and quickly
instigate medical attention in an emergency.

Closing the hydrogen economic loop
The inventor of the nickel metal hydride technology used in batteries believes
the hydrogen economy is already upon us. Writing in the current issue of the
International Journal of Nuclear Hydrogen Production and Applications, Stanford
Ovshinsky, suggests that we could soon close the hydrogen economic loop.

Chalk and talk
Writing in the International Journal of Management in Education from
Inderscience Publishers, US researchers provide a template for educational
establishments hoping to offer online education rather than traditional chalk
and talk classes.

Shrinking carbon footprints
Would shrinking your carbon footprint, recycling more, and going green be easier
if you could monitor your household's environmental impact? That's the question
a team of Canadian industry consultants set out to answer. They report their
findings in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Environmental
Technology and Management from Inderscience Publishers.
