UCLA scientists design new super-hard material
Ultra-hard materials are used for everything from drills that bore for oil and build new roads to scratch-resistant coatings for precision instruments and the face of your watch. view more (2007-04-23)
NC State Develops Material That Could Boost Data Storage, Save Energy
North Carolina State University engineers have created a new material that would allow a fingernail-size computer chip to store the equivalent of 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text, far exceeding the storage capacities of today's computer memory systems. view more (2009-10-21)
Los Alamos Scientists See New Mechanism for Superconductivity
Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity. view more (2008-11-24)
Cell division studies hint at future cancer therapy
When a cell's assets get divided between daughter cells, Dr. Quansheng Du wants to make sure both offspring do well. view more (2008-01-23)
Nanostructure boosts efficiency in energy transport
Overcoming a critical conductivity challenge to clean energy technologies, Boston College researchers have developed a titanium nanostructure that provides an expanded surface area and demonstrates significantly greater efficiency in the transport of electrons. view more (2009-03-03)
Pressable photonic crystals produce full-colour fingerprints and promise enhanced security
In the future, law enforcement officials may take full-colour fingerprints using new technology developed by a University of Toronto-led team of international researchers. view more (2006-03-15)
Carbon nanotube measurements: latest in NIST 'how-to' series
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has published detailed guidelines for making essential measurements on samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The new guide constitutes the current "best practices" for characterizing one... view more... (2008-04-16)
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)
'Smart' process may boost economics of biofuel production
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory believe they've identified a simpler way to generate biofuels - a one-step process to convert cellulose found in plant material and other biomass into a chemical that can serve as a precursor to make fuels and plastics. view more (2009-06-08)
Crab claws pack strengthening bromide-rich biomaterial
Next time you have an unlucky encounter with a crab's pinchers, consider that the claw tips may be reinforced with bromine-rich biomaterial 1.5 times harder than acrylic glass and extremely fracture resistant, says a University of Oregon scientist. view more (2009-02-26)
Silenced genes as a warning sign of blood cancer
In many types of cancer, parts of the genetic material of tumor cells are switched off by chemical labels called methyl groups. This kind of methyl labeling ranges among the epigenetic changes that do not change the sequence of DNA building blocks. view more (2009-08-05)
More evidence for 'stripes' in high-temperature superconductors
An international collaboration including two physicists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has published additional evidence to support the existence of "stripes" in high-temperature (Tc) superconductors. view more (2006-04-27)
Bone-Growing Nanomaterial Could Improve Orthopaedic Implants
For orthopaedic implants to be successful, bone must meld to the metal that these artificial hips, knees and shoulders are made of. A team of Brown University engineers, led by Thomas Webster, has discovered a new material that could significantly increase this success rate. view more (2007-09-18)
Novel gate dielectric materials: perfection is not enough
For the first time theoretical modeling has provided a glimpse into how promising dielectric materials are able to trap charges, something which may affect the performance of advanced electronic devices. view more (2007-10-17)
Chromosomal microarray analysis proves accurate
Two years and more than 2,000 samples after researchers at Baylor College of Medicine started to use a new gene-chip technology called chromosomal microarray analysis to look for potential genetic abnormalities in children, they find that it is remarkably sensitive in detecting abnormalities in individual chromosomes. view more (2007-03-30)
Rocket technology retards combustibility
Every fire is literally a red-hot situation. While wood is a popular building material, it also has the disadvantage of being an excellent fuel. Intumescent coatings (from the Latin intumescere, to swell up) can help to delay the combustion of wood. Above a specific temperature, these protective coatings form a soft, carbonaceous foam that shields... view more... (2003-04-24)
Research by Case School of Engineering professors, VA collaborators earn cover of prestigious science publication
An interdisciplinary team from the department of macromolecular science and engineering at Case Western Reserve University, the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center and the NASA Glenn Research Center earned the December 2007 cover of Nature Nanotechnology, one of the world's most prestigious scholarly journals covering research in nanoscience... view more...

Polymer materials suited for use as high temperature insulation
From the most technologically aware city dwellers to remote jungle tribes, almost the entire population of the earth know polymeric materials as plastics. view more (2006-01-10)
Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out. view more (2008-07-29)
Ancient T. rex and mastodon protein fragments discovered, sequenced
Scientists have confirmed the existence of protein in soft tissue recovered from the fossil bones of a 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex) and a half-million-year-old mastodon. view more (2007-04-13)
