(PhysOrg.com) -- A new approach to wireless communication will guarantee the reachability of emergency services in a better way. 'Cognitive radio', for which Qiwei Zhang (CTIT) developed new techniques, borrows free space in other frequency bands or even organizes an ad hoc network 'on the spot'. http://www.physorg.com/news155234869.html Technology Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:48:22 EST news155234869 Researchers at the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM), the University of Twente in the Netherlands and the University of Seville in Spain have explained the formation and behaviour of the very fast water jet that is formed when an object impacts on a water surface. They have observed precisely what happens using a super-fast camera and have made a computer simulation of the process. http://www.physorg.com/news152472693.html Physics Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:32:09 EST news152472693 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the University of Twente, Netherlands, recently demonstrated that differences in pupils` levels arise largely during holiday periods. They investigated pupils` progress in the field of reading proficiency and looked specifically at differences between the summer holiday and the rest of the school year. According to the researchers, if new research substantiates these results, this would argue in favour of measures such as support for weaker pupils during the summer. http://www.physorg.com/news152290711.html Other Sciences Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:58:53 EST news152290711 (PhysOrg.com) -- Liquid or glass, hard or soft -- researchers at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, are investigating a new 'model material' that can adopt a series of different properties. This is possible because of miniscule balls of knotted polymers which become enlarged as the temperature drops. It has interesting potential for research into the consequences of ageing in the properties of glass, which can serve as a model for the natural process of ageing. Researchers in the Physics of Complex Fluids group have published a paper on the subject in Physical Review Letters. http://www.physorg.com/news150729182.html Nanotechnology Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:13:02 EST news150729182 (PhysOrg.com) -- Marketing statements influence us subliminally more than was ever assumed. Even when you are not aware of being exposed to advertising material, it can still affect your actions. This emerged from research by Marieke Fransen of the University of Twente, Netherlands, who obtained her doctorate from the Faculty of Behavioural Sciences on 19 December. http://www.physorg.com/news150388664.html Other Sciences Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:37:44 EST news150388664
