Testing, radiation testing: Northwestern transistors on space station
Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside of the International Space Station for radiation testing. view more (2008-06-11)
Super-thin Filter, 50 Atoms Thick, Sorts Individual Molecules
A newly designed porous membrane, so thin it's invisible edge-on, may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects as small as a molecule. view more (2007-02-15)
Single-Crystal Semiconductor Wire Built into an Optical Fiber
An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices... view more... (2008-03-13)
Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood. view more (2005-09-26)
New clues about the Earth's movements
Synchrotron light has just revealed new clues about how the Earth moves. A team of scientists (Dubrovinsky et al) from four different countries and different fields of expertise have come to the ESRF to study materials submitted to extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, similar to those found at the boundary between the core and the... view more...

Team of researchers achieves major step toward faster chips
New research findings could lead to faster, smaller and more versatile computer chips. view more (2009-05-08)
Physicists tailor magnetic pairings in nanoscale semiconductors
Electrons love to zip around metals such as copper, especially if the metal is cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. But if they encounter a magnetic atom (say, iron) during their travels, the electrons will try to "screen," or cancel out, the magnetic atom's spin alignment by pairing with it. This pairing modifies the flow of... view more... (2007-03-15)
New microsensor measures volatile organic compounds in water and air on-site
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a miniature sensor that uses polymer membranes deposited on a tiny silicon disk to measure pollutants present in aqueous or gaseous environments. view more (2007-09-18)
Identifying proteins with new microchip surfaces. Protein-binding nanoparticles simplify MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
How does life function? In biology today, this is the question about the interplay between the countless molecules that make up all life forms. For example, if the interactions of proteins are interfered with, this can be a cause of illnesses. Nowadays, bio-chips are being used to an increasing extent to research these molecular interactions.... view more... (2003-08-06)
Never-before-made material similar to diamonds and ice, says UH professor
Not since the use of germanium in the first transistor radios and the discovery of its crucial role in semiconductor research more than 50 years ago has the study of this element garnered so much attention. view more (2006-11-29)
Ecologists, material scientists pursue genetics of diatom's elegant, etched casing
Diatoms - some of which are so tiny that 30 can fit across the width of a human hair - are so numerous that they are among the key organisms taking the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide out of the Earth's atmosphere. view more (2008-01-24)
UC San Diego Physicists Reveal Secrets of Newest Form of Carbon
Using one of the world's most powerful sources of man-made radiation, physicists from UC San Diego, Columbia University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have uncovered new secrets about the properties of graphene-a form of pure carbon that may one day replace the silicon in computers, televisions, mobile phones and other common electronic... view more...

Bottoms up: Better organic semiconductors for printable electronics
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Seoul National University (SNU) have learned how to tweak a new class of polymer-based semiconductors to better control the location and alignment of the components of the blend. view more (2008-09-05)
Magnetic field research could make computers 500 times more powerful
Magnetic fields created using nanotechnology could make computers up to 500 times more powerful, if new research is successful. view more (2006-06-23)
NMSU/Wake Forest solar breakthrough will help spur viability of alternative energy
Imagine being able to paint your roof with enough alternative energy to heat and cool your home. What if soldiers in the field could carry an energy source in a roll of plastic wrap in their backpacks? view more (2005-10-10)
A First in Integrated Nanowire Sensor Circuitry
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on nanowire arrays, combining light sensors and electronics made of different crystalline materials. Their method can be used to reproduce numerous such... view more... (2008-08-05)
Rutgers findings a step toward safer chemicals in labs and industry

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)
Lab-on-a-Chip Device from Berkeley Lab to Speed Proteomics Research
In recent years, the science of biology has been dominated by genomics - the study of genes and their functions. The genomics era is now making way for the era of proteomics - the study of the proteins that genes encode. view more (2007-05-03)
Researchers develop foundation for circuitry and devices based on graphite
Graphite, the material that gives pencils their marking ability, could be the basis for a new class of nanometer-scale electronic devices that have the attractive properties of carbon nanotubes - but could be produced using established microelectronics manufacturing techniques. view more (2006-03-15)
