GOES-O Satellite Reaches Orbit and Renamed GOES-14
On June 27, 2009, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-O, soared into space during a spectacular launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. GOES-O has now been renamed and its solar array has been deployed. view more (2009-07-13)
Carbon nanotubes made into conductive, flexible 'stained glass'
Carbon nanotubes are promising materials for many high-technology applications due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical and electrical properties. view more (2008-04-09)
True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties far superior to most common materials. view more (2008-08-18)
UCSD researchers pave the way for effective liver treatments
A combination of bioengineering and medical research at the University of California, San Diego has led to a new discovery that could pave the way for more effective treatments for liver disease. view more (2009-10-12)
Stengthening the glow of nanotube luminescence
Nanotubes are the poster children of the nanotechnology revolution. These tiny carbon tubes - less than 1/50,000 the diameter of a human hair - possess novel properties that have researchers excitedly exploring dozens of potential applications ranging from transistors to space elevators. view more (2005-11-15)
LEGO toy helps researchers learn what happens on nanoscale
Johns Hopkins engineers are using a popular children's toy to visualize the behavior of particles, cells and molecules in environments too small to see with the naked eye. view more (2009-08-26)
Gadonanotubes greatly outperform existing MRI contrast agents
Researchers at Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are at least 40 times more effective than the best in clinical use. view more (2005-08-12)
Penn materials scientist finds plumber's wonderland on graphene
Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania, Sandia National Laboratories and Rice University have demonstrated the formation of interconnected carbon nanostructures on graphene substrate in a simple assembly process that involves heating few-layer graphene sheets to sublimation using electric current that may eventually lead to a new paradigm... view more...

High Energy Mystery lurks at the Galactic Centre
A mystery lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy - an object radiating high-energy gamma rays - has been detected by an international team of astronomers. Their research, published today (September 22nd) in the Journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), an array of four... view more...

Engineers point way to better use of nanotubes as measuring tips
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications. view more (2005-10-13)
Electronic nose sniffs out toxins
Imagine a polka-dotted postage stamp-sized sensor that can sniff out some known poisonous gases and toxins and show the results simply by changing colors. view more (2009-09-14)
MU psychologists demonstrate simplicity of working memory
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but humans may have even less to work with than previously thought. University of Missouri researchers found that the average person can keep just three or four things in their "working memory" or conscious mind at one time. view more (2008-04-24)
Astronomers shed surprising light on our galaxy's black hole
In the most comprehensive study of Sagittarius A (Sgr A), the enigmatic supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, astronomers - using nine ground and space-based telescopes including the Hubble Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory - have discovered that Sgr A* produces rapid flares close to the... view more...

Nanoneedle is small in size, but huge in applications
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a membrane-penetrating nanoneedle for the targeted delivery of one or more molecules into the cytoplasm or the nucleus of living cells. view more (2009-04-29)
New technology used to construct the first map of structural variation in the human genome
Beyond the simple stream of one-letter characters in the human genome sequence lies a complex, higher-order code. In order to decipher this level of architecture, scientists have developed powerful new experimental and algorithmic methods to detect copy number variants (CNVs)-defined as large deletions and duplications of DNA segments. view more (2006-11-27)
Carbon nanotube membranes allow super-fast fluid flow
Membranes composed of manmade carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes' nearly friction-free surface. view more (2005-11-04)
Engineers create gecko-inspired, high-friction micro-fibers
Inspired by the remarkable hairs that allow geckos to hang single-toed from sheer walls and scamper along ceilings, a team of researchers led by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, has created an array of synthetic micro-fibers that uses very high friction to support loads on smooth surfaces. view more (2006-08-23)
Super sensitive gas detector goes down the nanotubes
When cells are under stress, they blow off steam by releasing minute amounts of nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases. view more (2009-01-14)
Inexpensive plastic used in CDs could improve aircraft, computer electronics
If one University of Houston professor has his way, the inexpensive plastic now used to manufacture CDs and DVDs will one day soon be put to use in improving the integrity of electronics in aircraft, computers and iPhones. view more (2009-05-18)
Using carbon nanotubes to seek and destroy anthrax toxin and other harmful proteins
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new way to seek out specific proteins, including dangerous proteins such as anthrax toxin, and render them harmless using nothing but light. view more (2007-12-11)
