Innovative Technique for Separating Water from Oil by Exposure to Visible Light

Engineers from the MIT have developed an innovative system which uses only light to control the manner in which water moves over a surface. According to the researchers, the discovery might prove significant in the advancement of technologies such as field systems with the ability to separate water from oil at a drilling rig, or microfluidic diagnostic devices whose valves and channels can be reprogrammed on the go.

Mussel-Inspired Biologically Active Titanium Surface for Probable Use in Medical Field

Inspired by the mussel’s ability to very tightly attach itself to even metallic surfaces using unique proteins found in its byssal threads, a team of researchers from RIKEN have managed to attach a biologically active molecule to a titanium surface. This achievement is likely to open doors for implants that can be more biologically beneficial.

Metallurgists Develop Low-Cost, Hierarchically Nanostructured Titanium Alloy with Superior Strength

Stronger than any commercial titanium alloy currently on the market, an improved titanium alloy gets it strength from the innovative way atoms are arranged to form a special nanostructure. Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have succeeded in observing this arrangement and manipulating it to create the strongest ever titanium alloy with a lower process cost.
