Long hampered by high manufacturing costs and durability issues, fuel cell technology could overcome those obstacles and take a significant step towards mainstream adoption thanks to a finding by a Texas A+M University chemical engineering professor.
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have managed, with the help of an advanced X-ray flash, to photograph the movement of atoms during photosynthesis – an achievement that has been recognised by the journal Science.
Understanding micro- and nano-particle transportation within evaporating liquid droplets has great potential for several technological applications, including nanostructure self-assembly, lithography patterning, particle coating, and biomolecule concentration and separation.
A University of Florida engineering researcher has crafted a nickel-sized imaging device that uses organic light-emitting diode technology similar to that found in cell phone or laptop screens for night vision. But unlik...
Researchers at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, ICMAB-CSIC, and the firms Labein Tecnalia and Nexans, coordinated by the electrical company Endesa, have constructed a 30m cable and the terminals needed to connect it to the network using the high-temperature superconducting material BSCCO.
Engineered artificial proteins that mimic the elastic properties of muscles in living organisms are the subject of an article in Nature magazine to be released May 6. “Our goal is to use these biomaterials in tissue engineering as a type of scaffold for muscle regeneration,” said co-author Dan Dudek, an assistant professor of engineering science and mechanics at Virginia Tech.
The recent installation of a FT4 universal powder tester from Freeman Technology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in the USA, reflects the increasing adoption of the system by those working at the cutting edge of powder research.
NPL has recently been helping the Health Protection Agency (HPA) set up the National Nanotoxicology Research Centre (NNRC) at their Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards with the aim of advancing research into the possible toxic effects of nanoparticles.
Positronium is a short-lived system in which an electron and its anti-particle are bound together. In 2007, physicists at the University of California, Riverside created molecular positronium, a brand-new substance, in the laboratory. Now they have succeeded in isolating for the first time a sample of spin polarized positronium atoms.
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO), the leading provider of scanning probe microscopes (SPM) to the nanoscience community, today announced the winners of the second phase of the Veeco Labs Research Grant Program, “Energy Innovation.”
