Mimicking nature for programmable and adaptive synthetic materials
Jan 29, 2019 (SPX)
One such biological process is controlled growth of cytoskeletal proteins. Apart from acting as nano skeleton to maintain cell shape, assemblies of these protei...
Scientists observe a new form of strange matter
Jan 29, 2019 (SPX)
Kaons are a type of meson - a group of extremely short-lived particles that mediate the strong force that binds protons and neutrons inside the atomic nucleus, ...
Groundbreaking new reusable adhesive works underwater
Jan 29, 2019 (SPX)

UH researchers report new class of polyethylene catalyst
Jan 28, 2019 (SPX)
The nickel-based catalyst is described in a paper published Friday, Jan. 25, in Nature Communications. "This is a completely new class of catalysts that can pro...
Use a microscope as a shovel? UConn researchers dig it
Jan 28, 2019 (SPX)
Atomic force microscopes (AFM) drag an ultra sharp tip across materials, ever so close but never touching the surface. The tip can feel where the surface is, de...
Radiation for dummies
Jan 28, 2019 (ESA)
These two female phantoms will occupy the passenger seats during Orion's first mission around the Moon, going further than any human has flown before. Fitted wi...
Machine-learning code sorts through telescope data
Jan 28, 2019 (SPX)

Ball Aerospace tests electronically-steered antenna with Telesat's LEO Phase 1 satellite
Jan 28, 2019 (SPX)
As part of the demonstration, Ball's electronically-steered antenna tracked and communicated with the Telesat LEO Phase 1 satellite and captured real-time video...
Materials that open in the heat of the moment
Jan 25, 2019 (SPX)
The porous nanomaterials that are currently used for gas separation and storage are not tuneable: their pores are persistent and rigid. Susumu Kitagawa, Nobuhik...
What atoms do when liquids and gases meet
Jan 25, 2019 (SPX)
When materials are in a solid state, their atoms are arranged in very uniform patterns, like grids, sheets and lattices. This means that, knowing the position o...
New technology uses lasers to transmit audible messages to specific people
Jan 24, 2019 (SPX)
In The Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory report using two different ...
New 3D nanoprinting strategy opens door to revolution in medicine, robotics
Jan 24, 2019 (SPX)
The microfluidic diode also represents the first use of a 3D nanoprinting strategy that breaks through previous cost and complexity barriers hindering advanceme...
Winning ideas for 3D printing on the Moon
Jan 24, 2019 (ESA)
The adult category was won by visual artist Helen Schell from the UK, proposing a 'magic Moon garden', printed from recycled coloured plastics. "What's missing ...
'The new oil': Dublin strikes it rich as Europe's data hub
Jan 24, 2019 (AFP)

A new method developed to produce precursors for high-strength carbon fibers processing
Jan 23, 2019 (SPX)
The main method of carbon fiber production involves heat treatment of synthetic fibers obtained from polymers based on acrylonitrile. The quality of the finishe...
New insights into magnetic quantum effects in solids
Jan 23, 2019 (SPX)
Near absolute zero, the lattice oscillations freeze, so that interactions between electron spins dominate. A particularly interesting case occurs when the spins...
