Nagoya University chemists turn metal catalysis on its head for a sustainable future
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
Carboxylic acids are one of the most common chemical groups in biomass, and their chemical reactions are particularly difficult to control in these mixtures. Cu...
A bioplastic derived from soy protein which can absorb up to 40 times its own weight
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
This new product, which is organic and biodegradable, is environmentally friendly. For that reason, the experts are exploring its use in the area of horticultur...
Ahead of the curve
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
Previously, however, the range of objects was limited to those with sharp edges and little, if any, curvature, and the transformation methods were based primari...
Seeing the forest through the trees with a new LiDAR system
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
By scanning areas of land with lasers, often from airplanes, LiDAR's travel-time measurements for light reflected back from the scanned area provide the distanc...
New photoacoustic technique detects gases at parts-per-quadrillion level
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
"In many ways, the photoacoustic effect is already the most practical method available for detecting pollutants in the atmosphere," said Gerald Diebold, a profe...
Space Debris Mitigation Mission Successfully Launched on June 23rd, 2017
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
The satellite, built and operated by D-Orbit LLC, is the first in-orbit demonstration of D-Orbit Decommissioning Device (D3), a smart and independent propulsive...
Equipping form with function
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
If designers want to reuse such a mechanism with different shapes, the necessary manual adjustments to the individual components are often unmanageable for non-...
3-D-printed jars in ball-milling experiments
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
Recently, in situ observations of mechanochemical reactions have been achieved by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Solid-state reactions can be directl...
Smooth propagation of spin waves using gold
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
However, it became clear that noise can be suppressed by installing a thin gold film in the appropriate places. This method is expected to be applied to SW devi...
Lightweight steel production breakthrough: Brittle phases controlled
Jun 27, 2017 (SPX)
Dr Alireza Rahnama has developed a new processing route which allows low density steel-based alloys to be produced with maximum strength, whilst remaining durab...
A chemical solution to shrink digital data storage
Jun 27, 2017 (SPX)
From supercomputers to smartphones, the amount of data people generate and collect continues to grow exponentially, and the need to store all that information g...
A new virtual approach to science in space
Jun 23, 2017 (SPX)
What was happening? The answer is simple: space. The Moon orbits far enough from Earth that light (and radio) take 1.3 seconds each way to travel the distance. ...
New computing system takes its cues from human brain
Jun 22, 2017 (SPX)
Now a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Notre Dame has created a new computing system that aims to tackle one of computin...
Artificial cartilage under tension as strong as natural material
Jun 21, 2017 (SPX)
Articular cartilage provides a smooth surface for our joints to move, but it can be damaged by trauma, disease or overuse. Once damaged, it does not regrow and ...
Helium droplets offer new precision to single-molecule laser measurement
Jun 21, 2017 (SPX)
This week in The Journal of Chemical Physics, from AIP Publishing, scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark and the Institute of Science and Technology in A...
Beetles spark development of color-changing nanoparticles for commercial use
Jun 21, 2017 (SPX)
The shells, or exoskeletons, of beetles are covered with stacks of crystalline-like shapes that scatter light and produce dazzling colors. In some cases, these ...
Magnetic space tug could target dead satellites
Jun 21, 2017 (ESA)
This same magnetic attraction or repulsion is also being considered as a safe method for multiple satellites to maintain close formations in space. Such satelli...
Scientists develop molecular code for melanin-like materials
Jun 21, 2017 (SPX)
To take advantage of these qualities, scientists across the City University of New York (CUNY) have developed a new approach for producing materials that not on...
NREL-led research effort creates new alloys, phase diagram
Jun 20, 2017 (SPX)
Semiconductor alloys already exist-often made from a combination of materials with similar atomic arrangements-but until now researchers believed it was unreali...
Lockheed Martin receives radar training system contract
Jun 20, 2017 (UPI)
The contract provides for development, testing, and options to produce up to 20 systems, which are meant for training U.S. Air Force crews to perform a multitud...
