Material scientists are developing composites which are made of dissimilar materials in order to be able to offer new customised application profiles. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU) have examined promising metal-matrix composites, which are very good conductors of heat and are able to withstand mechanical loads at elevated temperatures of up to 550 degrees and expand only very little with increasing temperature.
Scientists are reporting discovery of a potential new alternative to aspirin, ReoPro, and other anti-platelet agents used widely to prevent blood clots in coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. Their study, scheduled for the June 23 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal, involves particles of silver - 1/50,000th the diameter of a human hair - that are injected into the bloodstream.
RMIT University researchers have used breakthrough nanotechnology to create a pioneering sensor that can precisely measure one of the world's most poisonous substances, mercury.
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has demonstrated that, counter to classical Newtonian mechanics, an entire collection of superconducting electrons in an ultrathin superconducting wire is able to "tunnel" as a pack from a state with a higher electrical current to one with a notably lower current, providing more evidence of the phenomenon of macroscopic quantum tunneling.
In collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, scientists at University of Liverpool have investigated the rotation of molecules on a fixed surface to understand how they may help in the development of...
According to Americas Watchdog, "its high time for President Obama, & the US Congress to embrace a national disaster involving 100,000's of US homes, that contain toxic Chinese drywall. We need to treat the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster like a natural disaster, and a meaningful federal response is long overdue."
QD Soleil, a division of Nanosys Inc. focused on the use of proprietary nanotechnology in solar panel cell designs, today announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement with Starfire Electronic Development and M...
Siemens has long been based at Lindenplatz in Hamburg’s St. Georg district. To redesign the square the company has joined other local businesses in a public-private partnership project in collaboration with the city of Hamburg. Contemporary LED solutions from Munich lighting manufacturer OSRAM, part of Siemens’ Industry business unit, showcase the square and the Siemens building in the evening hours and at night.
The look of brass just got more affordable. For ages home owners, remodelers and builders have enjoyed the look of brass floor registers and floor grilles for their heat registers, but these classic looking items came at a relatively high price. The Reggio Register Co. of Leominster, MA, manufacturer and distributor of high quality grilles and registers for forced air and high velocity systems for over 30 years, has just introduced a new line of grilles made of aluminum and powder-coated to closely resemble brass.
A Montana State University graduate student whose research has the potential to make a difference in how light is harvested for alternative energy applications has won a $90,000 fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
