Scientists watch as peptides control crystal growth with 'switches, throttles and brakes'
By producing some of the highest resolution images of peptides attaching to mineral surfaces, scientists have a deeper understanding how biomolecules manipulate the growth crystals. This research may lead to a new treatment for kidney stones using biomolecules. view more (2009-11-24)
Gel-based handrub improves hospital hygiene
Giving health care workers easy access to alcohol-based handrubs can improve hygiene in hospitals, a study published today in the Online Open Access journal Critical Care suggests. view more (2007-05-03)
Physicists reveal water's secrets in journal 'Science'
It's essential to all life, and numerous research papers are published about it every year. Yet there are still secrets to reveal about water, that seemingly simple compound we know as H2O. view more (2007-03-05)
Let water power your mobile phone: scientists discover new source of electricity
A new way of generating electricity from flowing water could mean that in the future you will never have to charge up your mobile phone again. Instead of a normal battery, mobile phones could be fitted with a battery that uses water - you just need to pressurise it regularly. This is the first new way of generating electricity discovered in over... view more... (2003-10-13)
Research removes major obstacle from mass production of tiny circuits
As they eliminate tiny air bubbles that form when liquid droplets are molded into intricate circuits, a Princeton-led team is dissolving a sizable obstacle to the mass production of smaller, cheaper microchips. view more (2007-01-18)
Sophisticated drugs detection
Police and customs around the world spend over $250 million a year on drug detection equipment. Despite efforts to develop new technologies, more than half of this money goes to one of the oldest drug detection systems in the world - the sniffer dog. view more (2003-01-16)
Researchers use smallest pipette to reveal freezing 'dance' of nanoscale drops
Using what is thought to be the world's smallest pipette, two researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that tiny droplets of liquid metal freeze much differently than their larger counterparts. view more (2007-04-16)
Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to explaining the earliest moments of our Universe. view more (2005-07-21)
Crystal sieves, born anew
The porous, sieve-like minerals known as zeolites have been used for decades in purifiers, filters and other devices. view more (2006-04-18)
Silicon And Diamond
To make super-durable and strong details it is necessary to use so-called diamond composites, i.e. materials (matrixes) with incorporated tiny diamonds. The matrix is to be durable, strong, wear-proof as well as monolithic by structure ensuring chemical interaction with diamonds. To avoid internal tension this matrix must have physical... view more... (2002-09-23)
Autism theory put to the test with new technology
Next time you lose your car keys and enlist the family to help you search, try a little experiment. After your spouse searches an area, go and look in the same place. view more (2007-06-28)
New X-ray microbeam answers 20-year-old metals question
What happens to metals when you bend them? The question isn't as easy as you may think. A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Southern California, using a unique X-ray probe, has gathered the first direct evidence showing that, on average, a... view more...

0.2 second test for explosive liquids
Since a failed terrorist attack in 2006, plane passengers have not been able to carry bottles of liquid through security at airports, leaving some parched at the airport and others having expensive toiletries confiscated, but work by a group of physicists in Germany is paving the way to eliminate this necessary nuisance. view more (2009-10-21)
Measuring the immeasurable: New study links heat transfer, bond strength of materials
The speed at which heat moves between two materials touching each other is a potent indicator of how strongly they are bonded to each other, according to a new study by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. view more (2009-04-14)
Computer simulations strongly support new theory of Earth's core
Swedish researchers present in today's Web edition of the journal Science evidence that their theory about the core of the earth is correct. Among other applications, the findings may be of significance for our understanding of the cooling down of the earth, and of the stability of the earth's magnetic field. view more (2008-02-11)
Photonic Crystals in 3-D - The Physics Congress 2003
Telecoms systems contain an awkward mixture of optics and electronics. A purely optical system would permit the very high data rates needed by the Internet, but at the moment the switching and routing, as well as the "last mile" to the customer, still depend on slower electronic components. Speaking at the Institute of Physics Congress... view more... (2003-03-17)
Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on Earth
Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice. view more (2005-12-06)
Scientists demonstrate high-performing room-temperature nanolaser
Scientists at Yokohama National University in Japan have built a highly efficient room-temperature nanometer-scale laser that produces stable, continuous streams of near-infrared laser light. view more (2007-06-21)
Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts. view more (2006-05-26)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. view more (2008-11-06)
