The Seventies: Smog alert in the Ruhr area, acid rain, dying spruce trees in the Bavarian Forest. In those days, the solution was filter systems for the smokestacks in the Ruhr area.
Researchers at Aldrich Materials Science, a strategic technology initiative of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation have discovered an innovative way to design an important class of three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structures, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), under completely liquid-free conditions.
On Dec. 6, working nearly a mile underground in the cleanest space in South Dakota, Ryan Martin of Berkeley Lab’s Nuclear Science Division (NSD) assembled the first of 70 detector units for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment. Each unit consists of a polished slice of pure germanium crystal the size of a hockey puck, attached to an electronics board on a wafer-thin disk of fused silica.
Springer and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan will partner to publish a new book series NIMS Monographs.
The series will publish titles on major and advanced research themes of the research i...
Imec and Altera Corporation announced today a broadening of their strategic research collaboration in the framework of imec’s INSITE program. Initially focusing on technology insight into 3-D process technologies, collaboration between imec and Altera will now be broadened toward pathfinding process development kits (PDKs) for logic technology.
TA Instruments has presented the Distinguished Young Rheologist Award to two scientists: Dr. Anson W. K. Ma, of the University of Connecticut, and Dr. Ali Mohraz, of the University of California, Irvine.

The University of New South Wales has secured funding for one of six new Australia-China Joint Research Centres, which aims to meet the challenges facing the minerals, metallurgy and materials industries in both countries.
Shamik Basu, a Ph.D. graduate student working under Dr. Amine Benzerga in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, won a best poster award at the ASME-IMECE 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition in Houston in November.
An international team led by Xiang-Feng Zhou and Artem R. Oganov, PhD, theoretical crystallographers in the Department of Geosciences and Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University, have established the structure of one of the most important high-energy-density materials, magnesium borohydride or Mg(BH4)2. Their findings, “First-Principles Determination of the Structure of Magnesium Borohydride,” have been published in the December 13 edition of Physical Review Letters.
The Irish Centre for Composites Research (IComp) at the University of Limerick has been granted over €1million in research funding by Enterprise Ireland’s Commercialisation Fund for 3rd Level Researchers. The grant will fund three different research projects – all connected with composite material applications.
