'Vortex lattices' may help explain material defects
What do you get when you superimpose a rotating pattern of intersecting laser beams on a spinning cloud of ultracold atoms in a thin gas? Pretty pictures, for one thing-but also a new method that could be used to simulate why and how defects arise in superconductors, important materials that are difficult to study directly. view more (2006-12-26)
Production of spherical beads with the JetCutter
A major problem in particle production technology is the large scale production of uniform beads from viscous fluids. Producing such beads is of interest in various industrial sectors, e.g. chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, agriculture, biotechnology. The JetCutter is a new and simple technology for bead production that meets the... view more... (2003-11-03)
Theory predicts aging process in DVDs, plexiglas, other polymer glasses
Polymer glasses are versatile plastics widely used in applications ranging from aircraft windshields to DVDs. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a theory that predicts how these materials age. The theory also explains why motions at the molecular level can have macroscopic consequences. view more (2007-04-24)
Nano-machines achieve huge mechanical breakthrough

Back to basics: Scientists discover a fundamental mechanism for cell organization
Scientists have discovered that cells use a very simple phase transition -- similar to water vapor condensing into dew -- to assemble and localize subcellular structures that are involved in formation of the embryo. view more (2009-05-22)
New Type Of Reactor Developed For Cleaner, Safer Chemical Processing
Scientists in the UK are using an unusual form carbon dioxide in a new type of reactor capable of carrying out commercially important chemical processes which could be cheaper, safer and cleaner than their conventional counterparts. The work, reported in this month’s EPSRC Newsline is being carried out at the University of Nottingham led by... view more... (2001-02-05)
New contraceptive device is designed to prevent sexual transmission of HIV
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have published results showing that a new contraceptive device may also effectively block the transmission of the HIV virus. view more (2009-05-20)
Slick and Springy: Brown Research Reveals Protein's Role in Joints
Synovial fluid is slime with a serious purpose: Protecting shoulders, hips and other joints from wear, reducing the likelihood of injuries and arthritis. view more (2007-04-09)
