Nuclear physicists examine oxygen's limits
Physicists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have made a unique measurement of an exotic oxygen nucleus, leading scientists one step closer to deciphering the behavior of the element at its limits of existence. view more (2007-09-14)
Argonne scientists use lasers to align molecules
Protein crystallographers have only scratched the surface of the human proteins important for drug interactions because of difficulties crystallizing the molecules for synchrotron x-ray diffraction. view more (2008-05-14)
Toxoplasmosis infection trick revealed by scientists
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, primarily carried by cats. It is transmitted to humans by eating undercooked meat or through contact with cat faeces. view more (2007-05-11)
Spin-polarized electrons on demand
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits. view more (2009-01-16)
Pain patients at risk for sleep apnea
Opioid-based pain medications may cause sleep apnea, according to an article in the September issue of Pain Medicine, the journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine. view more (2007-09-07)
Atomic physics study sets new limits on hypothetical new particles
In a forthcoming Physical Review Letters article, a group of physicists at the University of Nevada, Reno are reporting a refined analysis of experiments on violation of mirror symmetry in atoms that sets new constraints on a hypothesized particle, the extra Z-boson. view more (2009-05-01)
Researchers discover method for mass production of nanomaterial graphene
Graphene is a perfect example of the wonders of nanotechnology, in which common substances are scaled down to an atomic level to uncover new and exciting possibilities. view more (2008-11-11)
Of Friction and "The Da Vinci Code"
The Da Vinci Code, the best selling novel and soon-to-be-blockbuster film, may also be linked some day to the solving of a scientific mystery as old as Leonardo Da Vinci himself - friction. view more (2005-08-26)
Physicists create millimeter-sized 'Bohr atom'
Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that resemble it more closely than any other experimental realization yet achieved. view more (2008-07-01)
'2-faced' bioacids put a new face on carbon nanotube self-assembly
Nanotubes, the tiny honeycomb cylinders of carbon atoms only a few nanometers wide, are perhaps the signature material of modern engineering research, but actually trying to organize the atomic scale rods is notoriously like herding cats. view more (2009-01-14)
Nanoscopic static electricity generates chiral patterns
In the tiny world of amino acids and proteins and in the helical shape of DNA, a biological phenomenon abounds. view more (2009-02-02)
The bizarre lives of bone-eating worms
The females of the recently discovered Osedax marine worms feast on submerged bones via a complex relationship with symbiotic bacteria, and they are turning out to be far more diverse and widespread than scientists expected. view more (2009-11-10)
New 167-processor Chip Is Super-fast, Ultra Energy-efficient
A new, extremely energy-efficient processor chip that provides breakthrough speeds for a variety of computing tasks has been designed by a group at UC Davis. The chip, dubbed AsAP, is ultra-small, fully reprogrammable and highly configurable, so it can be widely adapted to a number of applications. view more (2009-04-22)
The next generation of computers will be timeless
Time is running out for the clocks that make our computers tick. Scientists have developed a new generation of hardware and software based on the simpler designs of the 1950s. Asynchronous, or clock-free systems, promise extra speed, safety, security and miniaturisation. The new designs work well in the laboratory and are only awaiting the... view more... (2002-04-05)
Blood's clotting cells harbor 'ticking time bombs,' finding may help extend blood supply
Fragments of cells in the blood known as platelets—which form blood clots and assist in wound healing—have internal "clocks" that act like ticking time bombs, predetermining their death from the moment they are born, according to a new study in the March 23 issue of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press. view more (2007-03-23)
Purdue engineers solve chaos mystery in use of high-tech microscope
Mechanical engineers at Purdue University have proven that the same sort of "deterministic chaos" behind the baffling uncertainties of the stock market and long-term weather conditions also interferes with measurements taken with a commonly used scientific instrument. view more (2006-01-20)
Rutgers scientists perform 'materials magic' to simplify crystal-making for electronics
Materials scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have devised a novel and easy technique to make thin, crystal-like materials for electronic devices. The technique could supplement today's tedious and exacting method of growing crystals with an additional benefit of producing materials in sizes and shapes not now possible. view more (2005-05-30)
Why the Amazon rainforest is so rich in species
Tropical areas of south and central America such as the Amazon rainforest are home to some 7500 species of butterfly compared with only around 65 species in Britain. view more (2005-12-06)
Size-specific cracking shakes out at the nanoscale
Certain sizes of nanostructures may be more susceptible to failure by fracture than others. view more (2008-08-04)
Nine Countries Plan to Participate in the XFEL
An important milestone has been reached on the way towards the realization of the European X-ray laser XFEL: With France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, nine countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in which they agree to jointly prepare the foundation of the facility. "Even if this... view more... (2005-01-24)
