Humble shoelace tag carried more currency than gold on Columbus's travels
The humble device that prevents shoelaces from fraying was deemed to be worth more than gold by the indigenous Cubans who traded with Columbus's fleet. view more (2006-10-04)
New X-ray microbeam answers 20-year-old metals question
What happens to metals when you bend them? The question isn't as easy as you may think. A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Southern California, using a unique X-ray probe, has gathered the first direct evidence showing that, on average, a... view more...

Ames Laboratory researchers rethink zinc
Try as they might, ancient alchemists could never turn lead into gold. Neither can the members of the Novel Materials group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. But these physicists do have a way with materials, and they can get them to do some pretty amazing things. view more (2007-04-18)
Dude, big screen TVs, flexible electronics and surfboards made from same new material!
There is nothing new about combining two materials to make a composite material with more desirable properties than the originals. view more (2007-11-26)
Strain has major effect on high-temp superconductors
Just a little mechanical strain can cause a large drop in the maximum current carried by high-temperature superconductors, according to novel measurements carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-02-16)
Giving platinum catalysts a golden boost for fuel cells
Platinum might outweigh gold in the jewelry market, but as part of an ongoing effort to produce efficient and affordable fuel cells, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying how gold atoms might enhance the value of the pricier metal. view more (2007-03-28)
Scientists Discover New Way to Study Nanostructures
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a phenomenon which allows measurement of the mechanical motion of nanostructures by using the AC Josephson effect. view more (2007-07-24)
UC San Diego Scientists Develop Sensor for Homemade Bombs
A team of chemists and physicists at the University of California, San Diego has developed a tiny, inexpensive sensor chip capable of detecting trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical used in the most common form of homemade explosives. view more (2008-03-19)
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)
'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)
