Sandia invention to make parabolic trough solar collector systems more energy efficient
A mirror alignment measurement device, invented by Rich Diver, a researcher at Sandia National Laboratories, may soon make one of the most popular solar collector systems, parabolic troughs, more affordable and energy efficient. view more (2007-05-16)
Light's Most Exotic Trick Yet: So Fast it Goes ... Backwards?
In the past few years, scientists have found ways to make light go both faster and slower than its usual speed limit, but now researchers at the University of Rochester have published a paper today in Science on how they've gone one step further: pushing light into reverse. view more (2006-05-12)
Nanoscopic static electricity generates chiral patterns
In the tiny world of amino acids and proteins and in the helical shape of DNA, a biological phenomenon abounds. view more (2009-02-02)
1 sample examined by 1,000 pathologists -- how and why?
This week, more than eight hundred pathologists from around Europe and the world will take part in a first of its kind, large-scale virtual microscopy slide seminar on the web. view more (2007-09-06)
Researchers Find Synthetic Molecules That May Literally Be The Key To “Locking Away” Unwanted DNA
Research chemists have a found a class of synthetic molecules that could quite literally act as a key which could lock away sections of DNA into a closely wound coil preventing proteins from interacting with particular sections of DNA code. By locking up the DNA in this way scientists could stop particular sequences of DNA from activating... view more... (2002-04-15)
Cornell researchers test carbon fiber to make tiny, cheap video displays
Engineers who develop microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) like to make their tiny machines out of silicon because it is cheap, plentiful and can be worked on with the tools already developed for making microelectronic circuits. There is just one problem: Silicon breaks too easily. view more (2006-08-23)
Study Suggests Left-Side Bias in Visual Expertise
Facial recognition is not as automatic as it may seem. Researchers have identified specific areas in the brain devoted solely to picking out faces among other objects we encounter. view more (2009-04-29)
ORNL mirrors powerful tools for studying micro-, nano-materials
Precision mirrors to focus X-rays and neutron beams could speed the path to new materials and perhaps help explain why computers, cell phones and satellites go on the blink. view more (2005-07-21)
Optics made to measure
If you are in the business of developing high-speed electronic components, it pays not to lose sight of the electrons. To keep track of them you will need to use dedicated optical elements, such as those now on offer from UltraFast Innovations GmbH. view more (2009-09-17)
Young Artist from Manchester Wins Chemical Industry Award
Mike Ferguson from Manchester Metropolitan University has been chosen as the Northern finalist in the Chemical Industries Association's innovative 'Holding up the mirror' arts competition, the CIA announced today. view more (2005-02-03)
Social imitation in neonatal monkeys
Humans do it. Chimps do it. Why shouldn't monkeys do it, too? Mimicry exists throughout the animal kingdom, but imitation with a purpose-matching one's behavior to others' as a form of social learning-has been seen only in great apes. view more (2006-09-05)
Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step forward to controlled nuclear fusion. The device... view more... (2003-09-05)
Alzheimer's lesions found in the retina
The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but new research indicates they also may mirror a brain ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-10-22)
Using light under your skin
You have a tiny wound on your hand that doesn't heal, a bad burn on your chest - or an injured retina. Your doctor cannot tell how serious the injuries are below the surface. He needs tissue samples. That means using a scalpel, which again equals pain, perhaps even a risk. Soon there may be hope for an improved and totally harmless method to peer... view more... (2005-04-21)
UC Davis research could lead to no scent, no sex for the Japanese beetle
If a male Japanese beetle is unable to detect the sex pheromone released by a female, he won't be able to locate her and reproduce. view more (2008-06-30)
ORMatE returns to NRL after nearly 2 years in Earth orbit
Completing an 18-month mission orbiting the Earth more than 6,000 times on-orbit the International Space Station (ISS), the Optical Reflector Material Experiment (ORMatE-1) returns to Washington, D.C., to NRL's Electronics Science and Technology Division to begin experiment testing and analysis. view more (2009-09-30)
At that star, turn left!
Our bodies contain proteins that are made of smaller molecules that can be either left- or right-handed, depending upon their structure. Regardless of which hand we use to write, however, all human beings are `left-handed` at the molecular level. Life on Earth uses the left-handed variety and no one knows how this preference crept into living... view more... (2002-10-17)
New chemistry approach promises less expensive drugs
With a newly discovered method of assembling organic molecules, a team of Princeton University chemists may have found a way to sidestep many of the expensive and hazardous barriers that stand in the way of drug development. view more (2007-03-30)
Cool spacedust survey goes into orbit
University of Nottingham astronomers will be studying icy cosmic dust millions of light years away - using the biggest space telescope ever built. view more (2008-02-04)
NIST/University Team Records Rare Glimpses of Light from Neutrons
Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter. view more (2006-12-21)
