Finding the true measure of nanoscale 'roughness'
Straight edges, good. Wavy edges, bad. This simple description holds true whether you are painting the living room or manufacturing nanoscale circuit features.   view more (2005-06-17)

Very cold ice films in laboratory reveal mysteries of universe
The universe is full of water, mostly in the form of very cold ice films deposited on interstellar dust particles, but until recently little was known about the detailed small scale structure.   view more (2008-11-06)

Magnetic nanoparticles assembled into long chains
Chains of 1 million magnetic nanoparticles have been assembled and disassembled in a solution of suspended particles in a controlled way.   view more (2005-10-21)

Physicists team up to learn how quantum mechanical states break down
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Microsoft Station Q have made significant advancements in understanding a fundamental problem of quantum mechanics -- one that is blocking efforts to develop practical quantum computers... view more (2008-03-24)

New possibilities for drug design
An article in Journal of Physics B, published on 7 July 2003 by the Institute of Physics, reports on a new technique which could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more... view more (2003-07-04)

New nanoscale engineering breakthrough points to hydrogen-powered vehicles
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have developed an advanced concept in nanoscale catalyst engineering - a combination of experiments and simulations that will bring polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for hydrogen-powered vehicles closer to massive... view more (2007-03-06)

A new, dechlorinating bacterium
Several industrial activities of the previous decades resulted in serious contamination of groundwater. For instance, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production and related activities cause annual underground releases of 137 tonnes of 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) in the USA (1988-1999). The latter... view more (2003-04-22)

Purdue scientists see biochemistry's future - with quantum physics

Physics World Digest: September 2002 edition
The most beautiful experiment in physics An experiment that the Nobel laureate Richard Feynman once described as containing "the heart of quantum mechanics" has been voted the most beautiful physics experiment of all time by Physics World readers. The experiment involves sending electrons through... view more (2002-08-27)

Laser probe of a brain pigment's anatomy may offer insight into Parkinson's disease
In a finding that may offer clues about Parkinson's disease, a team led by Duke University researchers used a sophisticated laser system to gain evidence that a dark brown pigment that accumulates in people's brains consists of layers of two other pigments commonly found in hair.   view more (2006-09-26)

Scientists keep stone standing
More effective and less expensive ways of conserving historic buildings should be possible thanks to new research into the weathering of stone. The project could allow the first signs of stone deterioration to be spotted earlier so preventative action can be taken to avoid the need to replace... view more (2003-06-26)

Carefully Mixed Radiation Cocktail Reduces Collateral Damage In Breast Cancer Patients
