Terahertz waves are effective probes for IC heat barriers
By modifying a commonly used commercial infrared spectrometer to allow operation at long-wave terahertz frequencies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) discovered an efficient new approach to measure key structural properties of nanoscale metal-oxide films used in high-speed integrated circuits. view more (2009-05-11)
Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents
Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to make memory metals discovered by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2007-03-30)

Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor. view more (2008-08-05)
Seeing smoking in films encourages teenagers to try smoking
The more smoking teenagers see in films the more likely they are to smoke, finds a study in this week's BMJ, providing powerful new evidence that depictions of smoking in films influence adolescents to smoke. James Sargent and colleagues surveyed 4,919 schoolchildren in the United States (aged 9-15 years) about the amount of smoking they had seen... view more... (2001-12-12)

Hydrogen found to transmit magnetism
A team of chemists and physicists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have shown that hydrogen transmits magnetism. This discovery could be the first step to a new class of magnetic materials, and opens up a new field of chemistry. The team, headed by Professor Matthew Rosseinsky of the Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, and... view more... (2002-03-07)

Cell splits water via sunlight to produce hydrogen
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a unique photocatalytic cell that splits water to produce hydrogen and oxygen in water using sunlight and the power of a nanostructured catalyst. view more (2007-05-03)
Graphene oxide paper could spawn a new class of materials
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the discovery of paper revolutionized human communication. Now researchers at Northwestern University have fabricated a new type of paper that they hope will create a revolution of its own -- and while it won't replace your notepad, this remarkably stiff and strong yet lightweight material should find use in a wide variety... view more...

Perfecting a solar cell by adding imperfections
Nanotechnology is paving the way toward improved solar cells. New research shows that a film of carbon nanotubes may be able to replace two of the layers normally used in a solar cell, with improved performance at a lower cost. Researchers have found a surprising way to give the nanotubes the properties they need: add defects. view more (2008-06-17)
Graphene-based gadgets may be just years away
