Photos: The super 3D body scanner
Photo Philips Medical Systems has unveiled a CT (Computer Tomography) scanner which can produce detailed 3D images. The Brilliance iCT scanner reduces the amount of radiation a patient is exposed to by as much as 80 per cent and generates images in a... [04 Dec 2007]
Photos: Six unusual power sources
Photo Scientists are coming up with novel ways to power gadgets - including using body heat and even dung. German scientists have produced thermo-generators (pictured) that use human body heat to generate power and could be used to run mobile devices in... [19 Nov 2007]
Photos: IBM's flat-pack data centre
Photo Another feature of IBM's data centre is that all the cables are kept within the body of the racks - not underneath the floor. IBM has unveiled a data centre which it claims uses up to 15 per cent less power than a traditional data centre. [25 May 2007]
