When oil and water are poured together they meet each other head-on to form a strong and rigid boundary between each other, says new research into how interactions between oil and water work, out this week in Physical Re...
Solar cells of the future may look totally black to the human eye because they absorb light so efficiently. That's the promise of new research from an interdisciplinary team at the University of Virginia being funded by a new U.Va. Collaborative Sustainable Energy Seed Grant worth about $30,000.
A team of researchers led by Joseph DeSimone, Ph.D., Chancellor's Eminent Professor of Chemistry in UNC's College of Arts and Sciences and William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University, and Stephanie Gratton, a graduate student in DeSimone's lab, have demonstrated that nanoparticles designed with a specific shape, size and surface chemistry are taken up into cells and behave differently within cells depending on these attributes.
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor.
Oxide scales...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on nanowire arrays, combining light sensors and electronics made of different crystalline materials. Their method can be used to reproduce numerous such devices with high uniformity.
The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign has developed a novel testing device for understanding the tensile properties of single nanofibers. In addition to the ability to test a single nanofiber, the technology allows...
FEI Company, a leading provider of high-resolution imaging and analysis systems, and Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry, a leading biochemical research institution, announced today their collaboration on a correl...
The UK's ISIS Second Target Station Project moved a major step closer to completion today when the first neutrons were created in the ISIS Second Target Station. After five years of planning and construction, the first neutrons were detected by the Inter instrument at 1308 BST. ISIS, the world-renowned neutron facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, is operated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Why does lithium iron phosphate, a candidate for use in future lithium batteries,
conduct electricity despite being an insulating material?
A Michigan State University
researcher and his students have developed a nanomaterial that makes plastic
stiffer, lighter and stronger and could result in more fuel-efficient airplanes
and cars.
