SALT LAKE CITY, March 12, 2014 — Microscopic structures that use light in metals to relay information could improve the speed of wireless technology and enable the printing of magnetic materials.
Aircraft inspectors can turn off heaters
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Aircraft manufacturers soon may not need large heaters or traditional infrared thermography techniques to detect internal damage in planes and other objects, thanks to a simple handheld device and heat-sensitive camera devised by scientists at MIT....
Imaging Between a Rock and a Hard Tooth
EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 20, 2011 — Here’s something to chew on: An imaging technique sensitive enough to be used at the atomic scale has been used for the first time to create 3-D maps of the teeth of chitons – a class of marine mollusks that can literally chew rock...
10 Atomic Weights to Change
RESTON, Va., Dec. 20, 2010 — For the first time in history, a change will be made to the atomic weights of some elements listed on the periodic table of the elements and on inside covers of chemistry textbooks worldwide. The International Union of Pure and Applied...
Mimicking nature to build a better solar cell
Dec 1, 2010 — Leaves are nature’s quick-change artists. In summer, dressed in hues of green, they convert sunlight into chlorophyll, take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. Come fall – in northern latitudes, anyway – they turn from...
Laser Imaging System Screens Nanotubes
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 22, 2010 — Researchers have demonstrated a new imaging tool for rapidly screening structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes, possibly hastening their use in creating a faster and more energy-efficient class of computers and electronics. The semiconducting...
Erasing carbon’s footprint with sunshine
Oct 5, 2010 — The key to rolling back climate change could be the sun, according to George Washington University researchers who have demonstrated a carbon capture process that promises to use solar power to remove carbon dioxide from the air. As a bonus, the...
Graphene Pioneers Share Physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5, 2010 — Two Russian expatriates who discovered graphene — the thinnest and strongest form of carbon known — were honored Tuesday with the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Scope Reveals New Physics of Graphene
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 8, 2010 — Using a one-of-a-kind scanning-probe microscope, an international team of researchers discovered that electrons in graphene, which comprise four quantum states, can split into different energies when exposed to extremely low temperatures and...
“Greening” Your Flat-Screen TV
TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 7, 2010 — Researchers at Tel Aviv University developed an environmentally friendly organic LED light source for home electronics, medicine and clean energy. The new light source applies a discovery in nanotechnology, based on self-assembled peptide nanotubes,...
ID’ing Molecules from the Briny Deep
ABERDEEN, UK, and ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 11, 2010 — In a pioneering research project, scientists at IBM and the University of Aberdeen have collaborated to “see” the structure of a marine compound from the deepest place on the Earth using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results of...
CVD process improves diamond quality for lasers
SYDNEY, Australia – Diamonds could become a laser’s best friend, thanks to new methods of creating man-made versions of the gem. Researchers have proved the principle that diamonds offer high efficiency for lasing; however, demonstrating this has been an...
Organic Laser Breakthrough
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 22, 2010 — Researchers at the University of Michigan have achieved a long sought-after optics phenomenon that could lead to more efficient and flexible lasers for telecommunications and quantum computing applications, among other uses. The researchers...
UV Light Fills in RNA Gaps
ATLANTA, Ga., June 15, 2010 — For scientists attempting to understand how the building blocks of RNA originated on Earth, guanine, the G in the four-letter code of life, has proven to be a particular challenge. While the other three bases of RNA — adenine (A), cytosine (C)...
Frog’s foam fashions fuel
Jun 7, 2010 — With the inevitable decline of fossil fuels, the race is on to discover renewable energy solutions. As an alternative, researchers from the University of Cincinnati have found a way to convert solar energy and carbon dioxide into sugars to create...
Mining for Quantum Dots
HOUSTON, May 26, 2010 — Graphene, the one-atom-thick, honeycomb-like form of carbon, is the material of choice for physicists on the cutting edge of materials science. Researchers mentored by Boris Yakobson, a Rice professor of mechanical engineering and materials science...
Graphene Clears Major Fabrication Hurdle
BERKELEY, Calif., April 13, 2010 — Graphene, the two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon, is a potential superstar for the electronics industry. With freakishly mobile electrons that can blaze through the material at nearly the speed of light – 100 times faster than...
