Three-dimensional nanoimaging process provides detailed look at physical properties of liquid crystals
Charles Rosenblatt, professor of physics and macromolecular science at Case Western Reserve University, and his research group have developed a method of 3D optical imaging of anisotropic fluids such liquid crystals, with volumetric resolution one thousand times smaller than existing techniques. view more (2008-10-23)
Aircraft damage detected by heat and sound
Two new techniques that detect hidden and potentially disastrous damage to aircraft materials are published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a method using sound waves to examine aircraft parts and look for damage, while another group of researchers... view more... (2001-01-18)
Math Models Snowflakes
Three-dimensional snowflakes can now be grown in a computer using a program developed by mathematicians at UC Davis and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. view more (2008-01-17)
Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. view more (2009-02-17)
Hair samples show babies can be exposed to 'crystal meth' while in the womb
Babies can be exposed to methamphetamine or "crystal meth" while in the womb, reveals an analysis of hair samples. view more (2006-10-31)
Researchers bend light through waveguides in colloidal crystals
Researchers at the University of Illinois are the first to achieve optical waveguiding of near-infrared light through features embedded in self-assembled, three-dimensional photonic crystals. view more (2008-01-08)
Stress management: X-rays reveal Si thin-film defects
Pile-ups, bad on the freeway, also are a hazard for the makers of high-performance strained-silicon (Si) semiconductor devices. view more (2006-07-10)
Butterfly proboscis to sip cells
A butterfly's proboscis looks like a straw -- long, slender, and used for sipping -- but it works more like a paper towel, according to Konstantin Kornev of Clemson University. He hopes to borrow the tricks of this piece of insect anatomy to make small probes that can sample the fluid inside of cells. view more (2009-11-23)
MAXUS 4 is now ready for launch
Following the success of the earlier Maxus flights which have taken place since 1992, the countdown is underway for the launch of ESA’s Maxus 4 sub-orbital microgravity mission on 29 April from ESRANGE, near Kiruna in northern Sweden. During the last two years, scientists from five European countries have been working together with the... view more... (2001-04-26)
Astronomers hunt Martian water from Earth
As Mars makes its closest approach in almost 60,000 years, two Australian astronomers have used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii to look for signs that the planet once had liquid water - and so may have hosted life. Dr. Jeremy Bailey of the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Australian Centre for Astrobiology (ACA) at... view more... (2003-08-26)
New NIST nano-ruler sets some very small marks
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a new ruler, and even for an organization that routinely deals in superlatives, it sets some records. view more (2009-09-23)
Another step toward a liquid telescope on the moon
An international team including researcher Ermanno Borra, from Universite Laval's Center for Optics, Photonics, and Laser, has taken another step toward building a liquid telescope on the moon. view more (2007-06-21)
Right first time: Pioneering new methods of drug manufacture
Engineers at the University of Leeds have developed a simple technology which can be used in existing chemical reactors to ensure "right first time" drug crystal formation. view more (2009-11-11)
New biosensor could save lives by giving faster medical analysis.
Every day accident and emergency units have to treat patients who have taken some sort of drug overdose. To give treatment doctors need to know what the patient has taken. The circumstances can make often this difficult to ascertain quickly. Researchers are developing a new kind of biosensor, which can determine in minutes if a patient's blood... view more...

A clearer view of crystal growing
As technology progresses toward ever finer microelectronic structures, the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation used to depict them has to be shortened. The emerging generation of photolithographic processes works at 157 nanometers - a wavelength at which glass and even quartz glass are not transparent enough. The preferred material here is... view more... (2002-09-20)
Researchers set new record for brightness of quantum dots
By placing quantum dots on a specially designed photonic crystal, researchers at the University of Illinois have demonstrated enhanced fluorescence intensity by a factor of up to 108. Potential applications include high-brightness light-emitting diodes, optical switches and personalized, high-sensitivity biosensors. view more (2007-09-26)
ACHEMASIA 2004: Scale-out for Highest Product Purity
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has developed a flexible system which evenly distributes a liquid flow to six different micromixers without an active flow regulation being necessary. The liquid distribution system was operated with selected impinging jet micro mixers and specifically adjusted separation layer micro mixers... view more... (2004-05-13)
Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants. view more (2004-08-27)
Liquid ventilation
The main problem that premature babies have is that their lungs are not well formed. In order to alleviate this situation, the Nautical School at the University of the Basque Country has developed a liquid respiration respirator. view more (2006-03-29)
Hanover Trade Fair 2003: The six-pack mixer
Flexible liquid distribution system for numbering-up in micro process engineering In theory it sounds simple - numbering-up provides more throughput: As many microreactors or micromixers are switched to parallel operation until the desired production performance is achieved. In practical working, this concept quickly reaches its economic limits... view more... (2003-04-07)
