Carnegie Mellon scientist confirms liquid-liquid phase transition in silicon
Using rigorous computer calculations, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Institution of Washington have established evidence that supercooled silicon experiences a liquid-liquid phase transition, where at a certain temperature two different states of liquid silicon exist. view more (2009-03-17)
New study of solar system speculates about life on other planets
A comprehensive review by leading scientists about our Solar System which speculates on the possibility of life on other planets has been published. view more (2006-09-13)
Livermore researchers find
With the exception of lasers and free-electron lasers, there hasn't been another fundamental way to produce coherent light for close to 50 years. view more (2006-01-16)
Videos extract mechanical properties of liquid-gel interfaces
Blood coursing through vessels, lubricated cartilage sliding against joints, ink jets splashing on paper-living and nonliving things abound with fluids meeting solids. view more (2008-01-24)
Nano-sediment highways in catalyst
Dutch chemists have visualised how the porous structure of a zeolite catalyst depends on the production method. Zeolite made with carbon fibres as a template, has particles with straight canals that act as highways for the oil components which must be converted into benzene components. Zeolite is normally given a steam treatment to improve its... view more... (2003-03-21)
Babies brainier than many imagine
A new study from Northwestern University shows what many mothers already know: their babies are a lot smarter than others may realize. view more (2009-05-07)
Interacting protein theory awaits test from new neutron analysis tools
An international collaboration directed by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher has performed the first-ever atomic-detail computer simulation of how proteins vibrate in a crystal. view more (2007-09-28)
Marsquake detection sensors will take search for water underground
Researchers at Imperial College London have just begun a 5-year project to design and build tiny earthquake measuring devices to go to Mars on the 2007 NetLander mission. Unlike the instruments on next year`s European Mars Express/Beagle II mission, the Marsquake sensors will be the first to look deep inside the planet. The internal structure of... view more...

New research shows why metal alloys degrade
Metal alloys can fail unexpectedly in a wide range of applications---from jet engines to satellites to cell phones---and new research from the University of Michigan helps to explain why. view more (2008-09-25)
Just Scratching the Surface: New Technique Maps Nanomaterials as They Grow
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a measurement technique that will help scientists and companies map nanomaterials as they grow. view more (2008-11-05)
Foam reactor is ten times more energy efficient
There is considerable worldwide demand for new types of reactors for the rapid and well- controlled production of high value chemicals. view more (2008-09-29)
Liquid rainbows: British color researchers meet Norwegian children
Language is no barrier when British researchers from Nottingham Trent University conduct a science workshop for Norwegian children. Colour is the focus, and in the course of 45 minutes, the children experience both liquid rainbows and milk that explodes into a range of colours. view more (2007-10-01)
New wrinkle in the mystery of high-Tc superconductors
In the twenty years since the discovery of high-temperature (Tc) superconductors, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanism by which electrons pair up and move coherently to carry electrical current with no resistance. view more (2006-03-17)
Sodium loses its luster: A liquid metal that's not really metallic
When melting sodium at high pressures, the material goes through a transition in which its electrical conductivity drops threefold. view more (2007-09-27)
Structure of liquid alumina determined for first time
The structure of liquid alumina has been determined for the very first time by scientists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). At over two thousand degrees, this is the hottest liquid to reveal where its atoms are to be found (Physical Review Letters, Volume 86, Number 21, May 2001). The extremely high temperature at which alumina [a... view more... (2001-05-31)
Knock-out drugs: Narrow window for detection
Drug-facilitated sexual crimes are increasing. The Bonn Institute for Forensic Medicine has recorded that the number of examinations on the use of intoxicants in sexual offences within their catchment area increased 10-fold between 1997 and 2006. view more (2009-06-01)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Microfluidic device tests fluid compatibility
The key to a great party is inviting guests who mix well and don't instill tension among their fellow revelers. view more (2006-04-18)
Rutgers scientists perform 'materials magic' to simplify crystal-making for electronics
Materials scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have devised a novel and easy technique to make thin, crystal-like materials for electronic devices. The technique could supplement today's tedious and exacting method of growing crystals with an additional benefit of producing materials in sizes and shapes not now possible. view more (2005-05-30)
What happens when ice melts?
How molecules are linked together to form liquid water is the subject of a groundbreaking study due to appear Thursday, Apr. 1 in Science magazine's advance publication web site Science Express. The investigation entitled The Structure of the First Coordination Shell in Liquid Water summarizes the results of an international collaboration headed... view more... (2004-04-02)
