Oxford Instruments is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of a high field outsert magnet system to become part of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory’s (National MagLab) all-superconducting 32 Tesla (T) user magnet project.
Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) have shown that a graphene-based photodetector can convert light into electrical signals within 50 femtoseconds.
Masoud Agah, Virginia Tech's Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering associate professor has designed a credit-card-sized gas chromatography platform that is capable of analyzing volatile compounds in few seconds He received the National Science Foundation award to conduct this research and has been involved in the development of micro gas chromatography systems for the past few years.
Eric Campos and colleagues from the University of Washington have produced artificial flowers using 3D printing so as to study the effect of flower shape on the foraging mechanism of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta.
A team of researchers at DESY's X-ray source PETRA III, has observed structural changes in lithium-ion batteries for the first time. Led by Dr. Ulrike Bösenberg, the researchers performed fluorescence studies, which revealed that the internal structure of the battery material was significantly damaged following just a few charging cycles. The study results will appear in the latest edition of the academic journal Chemistry of Materials.
Perpetuus Advanced Materials, a British company that manufactures advanced materials has entered into a Heads of Terms Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding with a high quality graphene producer, Graphene Platform Corporation via Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Lenore Rasmussen’s Synthetic Muscle™ material will be launched to the International Space Station by a Falcon 9 rocket on April 13, 2015, from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
A research team from the Tohoku University and Advanced Institute for Materials Research in association with Group Leader Takashi Taniguchi at the National Institute for Materials Science and Japan Fine Ceramics Center (JFCC) has identified for the first time the atomic structure and bonding mechanism of coherent interfaces between the hardest and second hardest materials, diamond and cubic boron nitride, respectively.
Scientists from Washington State University (WSU) claim that the common prickly lettuce demonstrates potential as a raw material for producing rubber. The prickly lettuce is a common weed and is a wild relative of cultivated lettuce.
Brown University Engineers have led a study that has shown that the hair-like appendages of the Venus’ flower basket sea sponge derive their strength from their remarkable internal structure. These tiny appendages, which are made of glass, enable the Venus’ flower basket to anchor itself to the sea floor. This natural internal structure could inspire engineered structures.
