On a Wire or in a Fiber, a Wave is a Wave
In an experiment modeled on the classic "Young's double slit experiment" and published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers have powerfully reinforced the understanding that surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagate and diffract just like any other wave. view more (2007-07-16)
First-Ever Study: Lack of Critical Lubricant Causes Wear in Joints
Mice that don't produce lubricin, a thin film of protein found in the cartilage of joints, showed early wear and higher friction in their joints, a new study led by Brown University researchers shows. view more (2007-11-07)
A New Challenge for Scientists
Thirty young scientists from all over the UK, are to be given the opportunity to expand their horizons and be challenged in new ways, when they participate in a pilot scheme - Crucible - delivered by NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organisation that nurtures UK creativity and innovation. Scientists and... view more... (2004-05-07)
Unexpectedly long-range effects in advanced magnetic devices
A tiny grid pattern has led materials scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Institute of Solid State Physics in Russia to an unexpected finding-the surprisingly strong and long-range effects of certain electromagnetic nanostructures used in data storage. view more (2009-07-02)
Increasing young adult smoking linked to smoking in movies
Do young adults learn behaviors from movies? In a paper published in the November issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, examined the relationship between young adults (age 18-25) observing smoking in movies and the likelihood of starting to smoke. view more (2007-10-02)
New AHRB Funds for Museums and Galleries
Visitors to museums and galleries in English universities should benefit from the latest round of funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB). view more (2004-10-15)
Doh! New format could store all of Homer's life on one optical disk
Physicists at Imperial College London are developing a new optical disk with so much storage capacity that every episode of The Simpsons made could fit on just one. view more (2004-09-24)
Promise shown for data encryption and data storage using holograms
The rapidly developing digital age demands greater processing power, data storage and data encryption for computer based technologies. Recent developments point towards optical information processing as a great leap forward. view more (2006-03-28)
Tunable Windows To Keep Office Secrets
Secrets that zip across offices through wireless computing networks all too easily also zip through office windows into the hands of competitors - now researchers at the University of Warwick have devised a method of producing tunable surfaces that can selectively block signals from wireless networks from spilling out of the office. view more (2004-12-13)
Slimmer, Stickier Nanorods Give Boost to 3-D Computer Chips
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new technique for growing slimmer copper nanorods, a key step for advancing integrated 3-D chip technology. view more (2009-03-18)
Chemical engineers help develop ways to recycle waste plastic
Project supervisor Dr Don Glass explained: "Waste plastic, particularly packaging, is one of the curses of the industrial age. Ill-managed landfill sites are surrounded by large areas in which unsightly wind-blown polymer film is festooned on trees and fences." He added that current EU regulations mean 15% of waste plastic must be recycled, but... view more... (2000-01-20)
Hi-tech 'watermark' will expose digital images that have been tampered with
Digital images that have been tampered with could now be spotted - thanks to a digital 'watermark' developed by UK scientists Digital images such as CCTV footage are increasingly being used as evidence in high profile court cases. However, it is easy to tamper with an image and very difficult to tell if any manipulation has taken... view more... (2002-06-26)
Holographic images use shimmer to show cellular response to anticancer drug
The response of tumors to anticancer drugs has been observed in real-time 3-D images using technology developed at Purdue University. view more (2007-03-07)
Rapid heating prepares energy-saving zeolite for greater role in industrial separations
Thin-film zeolite membranes with tiny, molecule-sized pores are one step closer to replacing the energy-intensive processes now used in industrial separations, a group of academic researchers is reporting. view more (2009-08-04)
Self-aligning liquid crystal technique could simplify manufacture of display devices
A new technique for creating vertical alignment among liquid crystal molecules could allow development of less costly flexible displays and lead to a better understanding of the factors that govern operation of the popular liquid crystal display systems. view more (2006-09-25)
