Creation of 'rocker' protein opens way for new smart molecules in medicine, other fields

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST

Human cells are protected by a largely impenetrable molecular membrane, but researchers have built the first artificial transporter protein that carries individual atoms across membranes, opening the possibility of engineering a new class of smart molecules with applications in fields as wide ranging as nanotechnology and medicine.

A gold catalyst for clear water: Mixed nanoparticle systems may help purify water and generate hydrogen

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST

A new catalyst could have dramatic environmental benefits if it can live up to its potential, suggests research from Singapore. Researchers have produced a catalyst with gold-nanoparticle antennas that can improve water quality in daylight and also generate hydrogen as a green energy source.

A weld of difference: Higher welding speed improves the quality of welds between dissimilar alloys

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST

Simple changes in technique can yield big improvements, say researchers investigating how welding speed and the placement of materials affect the quality of welds between dissimilar alloys. They discovered that the tensile strength increases with increasing welding speed and becomes even higher when the softer alloy is placed on the advancing side of the weld.
