A new super steel?
Australian researchers have created the ideal manufacturing material of the future - clean, green 'super steel' that is double the strength of normal steel and resistant to fracture. "Stronger steel means less material is required to support a load or resist a force, which should lead to lighter structures and vehicles," says Deakin... view more... (2002-08-18)

Logistics For The Superjumbo
The Airbus A380 will be the world's biggest passenger airplane and it is already a perfect example of global cooperation. The Fraunhofer IML has ensured that the Stade plant near Hamburg will benefit from an optimal material flow and logistics concept. 555 passengers on two decks will be able to travel for 14,800 kilometers non-stop in the Airbus... view more...

Rounding up gases, nano-style
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently.   view more (2008-02-04)

Graphene used to create world's smallest transistor
Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide.   view more (2008-04-18)

A QUIET DRILL
The household and industrial heaters as well as glass and metal annealing furnaces are made of ordinary ceramics stand temperature difference poorly - the furnaces would crack as an common facetted glass where fiercely boiling water was pored in. That is why the annealing furnaces have to be heated and cooled gradually and insensibly. It takes... view more... (2003-04-25)

Intelligent molecules in shoes for skateboarders
d3o lab was granted a government SMART award in 2003 and 2004 for the development of a high technology application. Since then they have been developing the technology in the laboratory and working with a diverse range of companies from medical to extreme sports to realise the material's potential.   view more (2005-02-04)

Argonne researchers create new diamond-nanotube composite material
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have combined the world's hardest known material - diamond - with the world's strongest structural form - carbon nanotubes.   view more (2005-08-31)

Ensonido Technology: Surround Sound to Go
With the recently introduced MP3 Surround audio format, 5.1-channel material will soon be widely available. Since MP3 Surround files are just slightly bigger than stereo MP3 files, multi-channel sound even with flash MP3 players will become feasible. Together with the new Ensonido technology, surround sound can now be enjoyed over stereo... view more... (2005-03-09)

Gold nanoparticles could improve antisense cancer drugs
In the fight against cancer, antisense drugs, which prevent genes from producing harmful proteins such as those that cause cancer, have the promise to be more effective than conventional drugs, but the pace of development of these new drugs has been slow.   view more (2006-05-19)

Why tyres grip the road - New theory dispenses with long tests
What do Formula One racing tyres have in common with fly`s feet? This apparently bizarre question can be answered with the aid of physics: They are both soft and supple and exude a more or less sticky liquid. In this way, irregularities on the asphalt or - in the case of the fly - on the window pane are filled in. The area of contact becomes... view more... (2002-06-10)

Safety device for tall buildings
The device, called `Life-Saver` by the designers, looks like a big badminton shuttlecock. A shock-absorbing cushion connected to two thick torus rings (bagels) covered by a special material, serves as the bean of this shuttlecock. When folded the `Life-Saver` looks like a solid base backpack or a knapsack. When required, a person puts it on the... view more... (2001-12-25)

Zinc oxide gives green shine to new photoconductors
Photodetectors -- devices found in cell phones, digital cameras and other consumer gadgets that utilize photoconducting materials -- are a green technology in performance (converting light into electricity), but the manufacture of very powerful photodetectors needs to be improved before they can qualify for solid green status.   view more (2009-03-19)

Low-cost reusable material could facilitate capture of carbon dioxide from power plants
Researchers have developed a new, low-cost material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants and other generators of the greenhouse gas. Produced with a simple one-step chemical process, the new material has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide - and can be reused many times.   view more (2008-03-10)

Particles as tracers for the most massive explosions in the Milky Way
Astronomers recently observed a mysterious flux of particles in the universe, and the hope was born that this may be the first observation of the remnants of "dark matter".   view more (2009-08-11)

Study of the corrosive effects of water
As is known, corrosion is defined as the destruction of a material under chemical or electrochemical action by its surrounding environment. The reactions and transformations involved in this corrosion are due to the thermodynamic instability in the materials of which the surrounding environment is made up, giving rise to products with properties... view more...
