Inexpensive 'nanoglue' can bond nearly anything together
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method to bond materials that don't normally stick together. The team's adhesive, which is based on self-assembling nanoscale chains, could impact everything from next-generation computer chip manufacturing to energy production. view more (2007-05-17)
TREATING POLLUTED LAND WITH CARBON DIOXIDE
First a granular binder containing products which react with carbon is added to the contaminated soil and then carbon dioxide is pumped into the mixture. The three components rapidly combine to produce a cement that is very stable, and although marginally more expensive is immediately available for development. The land can then be used for... view more... (1999-11-25)
Super-computer reaches for the stars
Scientists at the University of York have been awarded a £234,000 grant for a powerful computer, called Beowulf, that will help them model large and fundamental happenings in the universe - from the evolution of the stars to the way in which DNA works. They will be using the grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council... view more... (2002-02-05)
Improved wettability of carbon nanotubes opens the door to new possibilities
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future but their wonder properties can also be their downfall. The non reactive nature of carbon nanotubes means they can be difficult to incorporate into other materials for real world applications. view more (2007-11-26)
heaper materials could be key to low-cost solar cells
Unconventional solar cell materials that are as abundant but much less costly than silicon and other semiconductors in use today could substantially reduce the cost of solar photovoltaics, according to a new study from the Energy and Resources Group and the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence... view more...

Room temperature superconductivity
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have for the first time identified a key component to unravelling the mystery of room temperature superconductivity, according to a paper published in today's edition of the scientific journal Nature. view more (2008-07-10)
NJIT researchers develop inexpensive, easy process to produce solar panels
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. view more (2007-07-19)
Measurements from the edge: magnetic properties of thin films
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), together with colleagues from IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have pushed the measurement of thin films to the edge-literally-to produce the first data on how the edges of metallic thin films contribute to their magnetic properties. view more (2007-10-01)
Chemistry & Industry- Issue 3
FEATURES TERROR: Future Threats Hype about bioterrorism may not be so far-fetched, Marina Murphy reports (page 9) Despite their best efforts, terrorists have not been able to cause the widespread havoc that they would like. Today, bio-terrorists are limited by technology, but in the future, this will not be the case. Advances in genomics mean... view more... (2003-01-29)
Spinons -- confined like quarks
The concept of confinement is one of the central ideas in modern physics. The most famous example is that of quarks which bind together to form protons and neutrons. view more (2009-11-30)
'Electronic gridlock' that blocks higher temperature cuprate superconductors is imaged by Cornell researchers
Superconductivity — the conduction of electricity with zero resistance — sometimes can, it seems, become stalled by a form of electronic "gridlock." view more (2007-03-06)
4,000 Year Old Archer With Golden Earrings
The richest Early Bronze Age burial in Britain has been found by astonished archaeologists. The grave of a mature man was found near Amesbury, Wiltshire and contains far more objects than any other burial of this date, about 2,300 BC. He has been identified as an archer on the basis of stone arrow heads and stone wristguards that protected the arm... view more... (2002-05-15)
Putting a Strain on Nanowires Could Yield Colossal Results
In finally answering an elusive scientific question, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have shown that the selective placement of strain can alter the electronic phase and its spatial arrangement in correlated electron materials. view more (2009-09-18)
Air Force-Funded Research is Shattering Traditional Notions of Laser Limits
Air Force Office of Scientific Research and National Science Foundation-funded professor, Dr. Xiang Zhang has demonstrated at the University of California, Berkeley the world's smallest semiconductor laser, which may have applications to the Air Force in communications, computing and bio-hazard detection. view more (2009-12-08)
Laser scientists take step towards making fusion energy a reality
Scientists from the UK and Japan may have taken us one step further to the reality of fusion energy with a new answer to an old problem. Research by Dr Ryosuke Kodama and his colleagues at Osaka University, Japan and the UK team published in Nature on Thursday 23 August details a new technique for using lasers to start the fusion reaction. The... view more... (2001-08-20)
New metamaterials that bend light backwards bring invisibility cloaks 1 step closer
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have for the first time engineered 3-D materials that can reverse the natural direction of visible and near-infrared light, a development that could help form the basis for higher resolution optical imaging, nanocircuits for high-powered computers, and, to the delight of science-fiction and... view more...

A new approach to engineering for extreme environments
Composite materials such as fiberglass, which take on a mix of properties of their constituent compounds, have been around for decades. Now, an MIT materials scientist is taking composites to the nanoscale, where entirely new properties, not found in any of the original compounds, can emerge. view more (2009-06-30)
New neutron studies support magnetism's role in superconductors
Neutron scattering experiments performed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory give strong evidence that, if superconductivity is related to a material's magnetic properties, the same mechanisms are behind both copper-based high-temperature superconductors and the newly discovered iron-based superconductors. view more (2010-02-03)
Life at the jolt
Researchers at the Biodesign Institute are using the tiniest organisms on the planet 'bacteria' as a viable option to make electricity. In a new study featured in the journal Biotechnology and Bioengineering, lead author Andrew Kato Marcus and colleagues Cesar Torres and Bruce Rittmann have gained critical insights that may lead to... view more...

Milestone in Microsystems Technology
Lithographic processes are applied to manufacturing components of microsystem technology. In X-ray as well as UV ranges the SU-8™ photoresist allows for the production of three-dimensional metallic micro structures with large aspect rations by LIGA (Lithography Electroplating Moulding) processing.
