NASA images, White Sands features support a wetter Mars
NASA's announcement yesterday of evidence that water still flows on Mars, at least in brief spurts, demonstrates that the view of Mars as a very dry planet should be reevaluated, says Dawn Sumner, professor of geology at UC Davis. Recent work from by Sumner and graduate student Greg Chavdarian also supports the presence of liquid water near the... view more... (2006-12-08)
Extra-large 'atoms' allow Penn physicists to solve the riddle of why things melt
Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have experimentally discovered a fundamental principal about how solid materials melt. Their studies have shown explicitly that melting begins at defects within the crystalline structure of solid matter, beginning along the cracks, grain boundaries and dislocations that are present in the otherwise... view more...

Speed bumps less important than potholes for graphene
For electrical charges racing through an atom-thick sheet of graphene, occasional hills and valleys are no big deal, but the potholes-single-atom defects in the crystal-they're killers. view more (2007-07-13)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
New "biosensor" screens Air Force personnel and equipment for contamination - within minutes
Air Force personnel will soon know within minutes if they or their equipment are contaminated with a biological agent, thanks to a new technology developed by the Air Force and a national laboratory. view more (2005-06-17)
UCF, Holochip Corp. announce global licensing agreement for zoom lens patents
The University of Central Florida has signed a licensing agreement with Holochip Corp. for a portfolio of technologies that will allow zoom lenses, such as those used in digital cameras and camera phones, to be manufactured at a dramatically smaller size without compromising clarity. view more (2007-07-23)
Preserved in crystal
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science recently discovered a new source of well-preserved ancient DNA in fossil bones. view more (2006-02-03)
HPV testing finds precancerous lesions at a higher rate than conventional pap smears
Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing was more sensitive than traditional Pap smears at detecting precancerous lesions of the cervix. view more (2006-06-07)
The Lightness of Electrons in a Twisting Metal Crystal
A team of researchers at Princeton University's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center has observed electrons moving through a crystal of bismuth metal behaving like light. view more (2008-07-28)
Early universe was liquid
Experiments at the worlds largest nuclear collider, RHIC, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, USA reveal striking new features of the state of the early Universe. A large Danish research group is part of this endeavor with professor Jens J'¸rgen Gaardh'¸je as a member of the top leadership of the experiments. view more (2005-04-19)
NIST develops rapid method for judging nanotube purity
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a sensitive new method for rapidly assessing the quality of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-02-02)
Methamphetamine abuse linked to underage sex, smoking and drinking
Teens who have never done drugs, but engage in other risky behaviours such as drinking, smoking and being sexually active, are more likely to use crystal meth, medical researchers at the University of Alberta have concluded. view more (2008-11-19)
Photonic crystal biosensors detect protein-DNA interactions
Scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a new class of disposable, microplate-based optical biosensors capable of detecting protein-DNA interactions. Based on the properties of photonic crystals, the biosensors are suitable for the rapid identification of inhibitors of protein-nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions. view more (2008-09-24)
Materials' crystal properties illuminated by mathematical 'lighthouse'
A deeper fundamental understanding of complex materials may now be possible, thanks to a pair of Princeton scientists who have uncovered a new insight into how crystals form. view more (2008-01-18)
A new understanding of crystal structure of actinide metals
Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is rare. In some metals, such as manganese, iron, and cobalt, the magnetic interaction energy is large enough to influence the crystal structure. view more (2007-06-07)
Scientists identify molecular cause for one form of deafness
Scientists exploring the physics of hearing have found an underlying molecular cause for one form of deafness, and a conceptual connection between deafness and the organization of liquid crystals, which are used in flat-panel displays. view more (2007-02-06)
Diabetes research at UH 'crystalizes' with major finding
A University of Houston professor and his student have made a major discovery in the field of diabetes research and diagnosis, finding a new mechanism for the formation of insulin crystals in the pancreas. view more (2006-05-10)
Light turns liquid
LIGHT can be turned into a glowing stream of liquid that splits into droplets and splatters off surfaces just like water. The researchers who`ve worked out how to do this say "liquid light" would be the ideal lifeblood for optical computing, where chips send light around optical "circuits" to process data. Liquid light sounds like a... view more... (2002-07-03)
Evidence of liquid water in comets reveals possible origin of life
Comets contained vast oceans of liquid water in their interiors during the first million years of their formation, a new study claims. view more (2009-07-31)
Plastic as hard and clear as glass
Plastics come in many forms. They are used to make boats, magnifiers, skis and all manner of household items. Transparent plastic sheet panels would be ideal in the manufacture of windows or headlamps of cars, for example, and tinted plastic foils could more readily be used to protect against the sun – if only the material was not so easily... view more...
