A team of chemists at Penn State has developed a new type of ultrathin film, which has unusual properties that could improve the fabrication of increasingly smaller and more intricate electronic and sensing devices. The ...
A burst of high-frequency sound waves is enough to turn a range of oily liquid mixtures to jelly. Because the reaction is reversible, it could be used to remotely control the viscosity of liquid shock absorbers in cars o...
Commercial products such as laptop computer monitors and solar-powered calculators are constructed from a light-sensitive material with a peculiar problem: When exposed to intense light, it forms defects, reducing the ef...
BHP Billiton has announced that it would establish a Base Metals Australia office in Adelaide to oversee its newly acquired interests in the Olympic Dam copper/uranium mine in South Australia, as well as the Cannington l...
Berry Plastics Corporation has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Kerr Group for $445 million, including repayment of existing indebtedness. The purchase price was funded with additional senior secured de...
Cake doesn't cling to pans with a nonstick coating, fried eggs don't stick to a teflon pan. So nothing sticks to teflon? Not so! Teflon can also be very "sticky", which is a desirable property, particul...
Argonne National Laboratory will receive $3 million over three years for basic science studies that may lead to improved catalysts for hydrogen fuel cells.
The funding, from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office...
The same kind of chemical coating used to shed rainwater from aircraft and automobile windows also dramatically enhances the sensitivity and reaction time of hydrogen sensors. Hydrogen sensor technology is a critical com...
Some century-old chemistry could have a strong impact on important issues in biosensors and other nanotech devices, according to a Purdue University research group.
A team led by Alexander Wei has shown that amines, a...
Manufacturers of brass astrolabes in 17th-century India were two centuries more advanced than their European peers, says a doctoral student at Lehigh University who just completed a four-year study of astrolabes.
