A species of slug (Arion subfuscus) produces a defensive gel it can chemically convert into a remarkably strong glue. Similar gel-based glues attach some snails firmly onto slippery rocks; tools are needed to pry them of...
The description of compounds and interactions between atoms is one of the basic objectives of chemistry. Admittedly, chemical bonding models, which describe these properties very well, already exist. However, any deviati...
Materials researchers at Penn State University have reported the highest known breakdown strength for a bulk glass ever measured. Breakdown strength, along with dielectric constant, determines how much energy can be stored in an insulating material before it fails and begins to conduct electricity.
The U.S. Navy today awarded a contract to a Bath Iron Works-led team for the construction of Coronado (LCS 4), the second Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to feature an innovative, high-speed trimaran hull. The 419-foot surfac...
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have created the first carbon nanotube device that can detect the entire visible spectrum of light, a feat that could soon allow scientists to probe single molecule transformations, study how those molecules respond to light, observe how the molecules change shapes, and understand other fundamental interactions between molecules and nanotubes.
Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have experimentally demonstrated that the superconductivity mechanism in the recently-discovered iron-arsenide superconductors is unique compared to all o...
When a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound, one small mistake can tear it apart.
And when the jet is so experimental that it must fly unmanned, only a computer control system can pilot it.
Ohio State Unive...
Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) will provide a half-day of free, no-obligation use of its unique Thermal Characterization Laboratory to engineers who need to perform thermal testing of their heat sinks, fans and fan trays,...
When Volvo's (STO:VOLVA) (STO:VOLVB) new hybrid bus now for the first time begins to carry passengers, it is happening in Göteborg.
The Göteborgs Spårvägar transit company is participating in a...
With two $15 million grants, scientists and engineers aim to revolutionize solar cells and provide the fundamental science for geological storage of greenhouse gases as part of two Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs...
