Scientists Create the First Synthetic Nanoscale Fractal Molecule
From snowflakes to the leaves on a tree, objects in nature are made of irregular molecules called fractals. Scientists now have created and captured an image of the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale. view more (2006-05-12)
Nano-layer of ruthenium stabilizes magnetic sensors
A layer of ruthenium just a few atoms thick can be used to fine-tune the sensitivity and enhance the reliability of magnetic sensors, tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) show. view more (2007-08-06)
K-State professor developing new strategies for delivery of drugs to fight, treat tuberculosis
It has been identified by the World Health Organization as the most dangerous infectious disease, causing more deaths - more than 2 million a year - than any other single infection. "It" is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. view more (2005-08-31)
Loose grip
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is contained in the air we exhale, and is also always formed when carbon-containing substances such as oil, gas, wood, and plastics are burned - it is omnipres-ent. Chemists have long been trying to convert this gas to something useful, and Koji Tanaka and coworkers from the Institute for Molecular Science in Myodaiji, Japan,... view more... (1999-01-28)
Researcher discovers new materials
A research team led by Carnegie Mellon University Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering Professor Prashant Kumta has discovered a nanocrystalline material that is cheaper, more stable and produces a higher quality energy storage capacity for use in a variety of industrial and portable consumer electronic products. view more (2006-07-11)
UW-Madison engineers develop higher-energy liquid-transportation fuel from sugar
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and combine it with water molecules and sunshine to make carbohydrate or sugar. Variations on this process provide fuel for all of life on Earth. view more (2007-06-21)
Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over. view more (2006-11-28)
Unusual meteorite unlocks treasure trove of solar system secrets
An unusual meteorite that fell on a frozen lake in Canada five years ago has led a Florida State University geochemist to a breakthrough in understanding the origin of the chemical elements that make up our solar system. view more (2005-09-28)
Researchers think pink to produce 'green' solar energy
When it comes to producing earth-friendly solar energy, pink may be the new green, according to Ohio State University researchers. Scientists here have developed new dye-sensitized solar cells, that get their pink color from a mixture of red dye and white metal oxide powder in materials that capture light. view more (2007-07-31)
Catalyst-free chemistry makes self-healing materials more practical
A new catalyst-free, self-healing material system developed by researchers at the University of Illinois offers a far less expensive and far more practical way to repair composite materials used in structural applications ranging from airplane fuselages to wind-farm propeller blades. view more (2007-11-28)
New catalysts may create more, cheaper hydrogen
A new class of catalysts created at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory may help scientists and engineers overcome some of the hurdles that have inhibited the production of hydrogen for use in fuel cells. view more (2007-08-22)
CU researchers shed light on light-emitting nanodevice

DARESBURY REPORT SHOWS ROAD TO CLEANER TRANSPORT
Future global targets on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases may be more easily met thanks to new research on catalysts for fuel cells, published today in the new annual report from Daresbury Laboratory’s Synchrotron Radiation Department. Tough emission targets are driving the development of zero emission vehicles such as electric cars.... view more... (2000-12-11)
Opening Atlantic Leaves Scots Isle Platinum Rich
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contained in mineral grains from the Rum Layered Intrusion, which represents the eroded roots of a once large volcano. They were formed deep in the crust as a plume of molten rock pushed up from deep within the Earth, causing huge volcanic eruptions, as well as hastening the break-up of North America from... view more...

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)
Diamonds Are Forever Revealing New Insights into Earth's Development
Diamonds will take center stage this month in countless wedding ceremonies and other celebrations. In addition to their usual role as symbols of enduring love and fidelity, diamonds are now also helping geologists unravel clues about how the earth's precious metal mineralization was formed and why diamonds and some of these metals are found in... view more...

Reining in Energy Guzzlers
An ammonia catalyst for the next generation? Ammonia is of central importance to chemical industry and to society as a whole. It is the starting point for the generation of such diverse products as fertilizers, man-made fibers, dyes, and even pharmaceuticals, to name a few. However, the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen takes a lot... view more... (2001-03-09)
Solvents in Retreat
A new catalyst for selective solvent-free hydrogenation at low temperatures A number of cyclic hydrocarbons with multiple double bonds are readily accessible intermediates in chemical industry. In the course of further processing it is often necessary to saturate some of the double bonds with hydrogen to form single bonds. This type of reaction,... view more... (2001-03-27)
