Scientists design a tool for detection of rogue molecules “on the run”
A research group of the Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, MC2, at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has developed an ultra-sensitive device for detecting the presence of organic molecules present in space. Organic material as far away from us as many thousands of light years can be discovered this way. The sensor, which... view more... (2002-04-16)
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)
Better composites through right shape of particles
The shape of the small clay particles in polymer-clay composite materials can determine the stiffness, strength and oxygen permeability of the material. The size of the particles determines the sheen and transparency. These are conclusions from the PhD research project of Martin van Es. He will receive his degree at TU Delft on 12 November.... view more... (2001-11-08)
CU researchers shed light on light-emitting nanodevice
An interdisciplinary team of Cornell nanotechnology researchers has unraveled some of the fundamental physics of a material that holds promise for light-emitting, flexible semiconductors. view more (2007-10-09)
New Bioplastic Reinforced With Natural Fibres
Finland Leads Europe In The Development Of Biodegradable Plastics VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland, has made degradable bioplastic more durable due to reinforcement with natural fibres. This biocomposite, which is totally biodegradable, supports sustainable development. The waste costs for products made from this will be small, and in the... view more... (2003-04-17)
MIT powers up new battery for hybrid cars
Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of lithium battery that could become a cheaper alternative to the batteries that now power hybrid electric cars. view more (2006-02-17)
MU Scientist Discovers 'Firework' Display in Helix Nebula
A star does not die without getting noticed and may even leave the universe with "fireworks." At the end of its life cycle, a star begins to collapse in the middle and throws new material into space. view more (2009-07-21)
A new wrinkle in thin film science
A remarkably simple experiment devised by scientists yields important information about the mechanical properties of thin films--nanoscopically thin layers of material that are deposited onto a metal, ceramic or semiconductor base. view more (2007-08-08)
Using waste to recover waste uranium
Using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a chemical analogue of a cheap waste material from plants, researchers at Birmingham University have recovered uranium from the polluted waters from uranium mines. view more (2009-09-08)
Pitt and Bell Labs researchers send 'heavy photons' over world-record distances
When light hits a semiconductor material and is absorbed, its photons can become "excitons," sometimes referred to as "heavy photons" because they carry energy, like photons, but have mass, like electrons. view more (2005-06-22)
Mothers transmit DNA through daughters only
Scientists have argued whether or not the often-studied mitochondrial DNA molecule is clonally inherited. It is with assuming clonal inheritance this type of DNA has been used to track the origin of modern human as well as to draw pictures of genetic relationships among other animals and plants. The conflict has now been solved by two evolutionary... view more... (2001-09-06)
Bioportfolio: Life-long persistence of erythrovirus DNA genomes in human tissue
The researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and University Hospital of Bonn, Germany, have coined the novel term "Bioportfolio" to describe viral genomic material remaining in the human body after infection. view more (2006-04-26)
Can you see me now? Flexible photodetectors could help sharpen photos
Distorted cell-phone photos and big, clunky telephoto lenses could be things of the past. University of Wisconsin-Madison Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Professor Zhenqiang (Jack) Ma and colleagues have developed a flexible light-sensitive material that could revolutionize photography and other imaging technologies. view more (2009-01-14)
Researchers design new graphene-based, nano-material with magnetic properties
An international team of researchers has designed a new graphite-based, magnetic nano-material that acts as a semiconductor and could help material scientists create the next generation of electronic devices like microchips. view more (2009-09-03)
New hybrid microscope probes nano-electronics
A new form of scanning microscopy that simultaneously reveals physical and electronic profiles of metal nanostructures has been demonstrated at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-10-30)
Scientists confirm that parts of earliest genetic material may have come from the stars
Scientists have confirmed for the first time that an important component of early genetic material which has been found in meteorite fragments is extraterrestrial in origin, in a paper published on 15 June 2008. view more (2008-06-16)
Wax-based heat storage for buildings
Everybody visiting an old church or temple has experienced the cooling effect of thick walls. On the other hand, heat waves particularly affect buildings constructed in lightweight materials. The walls cannot absorb much thermal energy, causing room temperatures to increase rapidly in summer. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar... view more... (2003-07-25)
Finding the right mix: A biomaterial blend library
From dental implants to hip replacements, biomaterials have become big business. But scientists pursuing this modern medical revolution share a basic challenge: biocompatibility. view more (2006-10-30)
Improved ion mobility is key to new hydrogen storage compound
A materials scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has deciphered the structure of a new class of materials that can store relatively large quantities of hydrogen within its crystal structure for later release. view more (2008-05-19)
MIT reveals superconducting surprise
MIT physicists have taken a step toward understanding the puzzling nature of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures well above absolute zero. view more (2008-02-13)
