ORNL helps develop next-generation LEDs
Nanotechnology may unlock the secret for creating highly efficient next-generation LED lighting systems, and exploring its potential is the aim of several projects centered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2007-03-20)
COMPOSITE PROCESS OPENS WINDOWS INTO SPACE
Window frames without joints and self-building space stations could be the outcome of a new way of processing composite materials. The technology, developed by Dr David Britnell and Dr Gordon Smith at Warwick University, means that fibre reinforced composites could be turned into shapes that are now very hard to manufacture. view more (1999-04-09)
Tomorrow`s Leaders Told to Invest in Research
A lack of investment in corporate research may be counterproductive to industry says Dr Elsa Reichmanis, director of Materials Research at Lucent Technologies` Bell Labs, New Jersey, USA. In an exclusive Tomorrow's Leaders online broadcast, Reichmanis stated 'In order to succeed in the long term, investment in the future is a... view more... (2002-03-12)
Wireless microgrippers grab living cells in 'biopsy' tests
In experiments that pave the way for tiny mobile surgical tools activated by heat or chemicals, Johns Hopkins researchers have invented dust-particle-size devices that can be used to grab and remove living cells from hard-to-reach places without the need for electrical wires, tubes or batteries. Instead, the devices are actuated by thermal or... view more... (2009-01-13)
Together, biological membranes prevail
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel method to visualize the fusion of biological membranes at the single-event resolution. view more (2007-01-29)
Press invite: 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors
A laser-based system that could revolutionise both medical imaging and communications, progress towards building the first solid state `quantum` computer and developments in nanotechnology are just some the topics being featured at the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors. The five-day conference is being organised by the... view more... (2002-07-10)
New eco-friendly self-cleaning material tough on stains, light on effort
Cleaning oily smears from kitchen countertops, mirrors, garage floors, and other surfaces with plain water - rather than strong detergents or smelly solvents - may seem like pure fantasy. view more (2009-08-17)
The Sensitive Side of Carbon Nanotubes: Creating Powerful Pressure Sensors
Blocks of carbon nanotubes can be used to create effective and powerful pressure sensors, according to a new study by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. view more (2007-10-24)
UCLA engineers pioneer affordable alternative energy-solar energy cells made of everyday plastic
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science hope to meet the growing demand with a new and more affordable way to harness the sun's rays: using solar cell panels made out of everyday plastics. view more (2005-10-10)
New nanoscale process created by UCSB scientists will help computers run faster and more efficiently

Duo awarded prize in national photographic competition
Mohamed Shaheedullah and Frank Page, from Loughborough University’s Institute of Polymer Technology and Materials Engineering (IPTME), have gained second place in the first Daily Telegraph/Novartis ‘Visions of Science’ photography competition. Their entry, entitled Carbide Particles, was runner up in the ‘Best... view more... (2000-12-08)
Cornell researchers develop virus-size 'nanolamps' that could aid use of flexible electronic devices as sensors
To help light up the nanoworld, a Cornell interdisciplinary team of researchers has produced microscopic "nanolamps" — light-emitting nanofibers about the size of a virus or the tiniest of bacteria. view more (2007-04-12)
Secrets of the Sea Yield Stronger Artificial Bone
The next generation of artificial bone may rely on a few secrets from the sea. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have harnessed the way seawater freezes to develop a porous, scaffolding-like material that is four times stronger than material currently used in synthetic bone. view more (2006-02-01)
UCR environmental scientists propose chemical solution to cleaning California's Salton Sea
UC Riverside scientists are able to improve water quality by 90 percent in the rivers flowing into the Salton Sea, the largest lake in California, by using two kinds of water-treatment chemicals that remove phosphorus and silt from the river water. view more (2005-11-04)
Nanocoating could eliminate foggy windows and lenses
Foggy windows and lenses are a nuisance, and in the case of automobile windows, can pose a driving hazard. view more (2005-08-29)
Inhaled nitric oxide may help sickle cell disease
Inhaling a small dose of nitric oxide gas may one day help sickle cell patients avoid pain crises and live healthier lives, researchers say. view more (2005-10-24)
