| Scalable electric drive for buses, trucks and more Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:07 AM PST Although electric cars meet current trends, driving axles are still too heavy, too expensive and too large for them. To address this situation, researchers have designed an optimized axle module for commercial vehicles. It is powerful, lightweight, compact and cost-effective. |

| Graphene displays clear prospects for flexible electronics Posted: 02 Feb 2015 08:43 AM PST Semi-transparent, flexible electronics are no longer just science-fiction thanks to graphene's unique properties, researchers have found. Researchers now show that new 2D 'designer materials' can be produced to create flexible, see-through and more efficient electronic devices. |

| Computer chips: Engineers use disorder to control light on the nanoscale Posted: 02 Feb 2015 01:07 PM PST A breakthrough could lead to the more precise transfer of information in computer chips, as well as new types of optical materials for light emission and lasers. |
| Winding borders may enhance graphene Posted: 02 Feb 2015 11:11 AM PST Theoretical physicists show precise control of grain boundaries in graphene may give it predictable mechanical and semiconducting properties. |
| To save your energy while strolling, walk this sway Posted: 02 Feb 2015 11:10 AM PST The first people to walk across the original Millennium Bridge may have been unnerved when it began to sway, but the bridge was actually doing them a favor: the swaying enabled them to walk the distance with 5 percent less effort, a new study shows. |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2015 10:26 AM PST As a grape slowly dries and shrivels, its surface creases, ultimately taking on the wrinkled form of a raisin. Similar patterns can be found on the surfaces of other dried materials, as well as in human fingerprints. While these patterns have long been observed in nature, and more recently in experiments, scientists have not been able to come up with a way to predict how such patterns arise in curved systems, such as microlenses. |
| Graphene displays clear prospects for flexible electronics Posted: 02 Feb 2015 08:43 AM PST Semi-transparent, flexible electronics are no longer just science-fiction thanks to graphene's unique properties, researchers have found. Researchers now show that new 2D 'designer materials' can be produced to create flexible, see-through and more efficient electronic devices. |
| Non-damaging, efficient sterilization: Plasma sterilizer for medical, aerospace applications Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:07 AM PST Traditional sterilization methods are no longer effective against all pathogens. By means of plasma, on the other hand, exceptionally stubborn bacteria stems can be killed off, researchers have demonstrated. A new sterilizer that is specifically suited for ridding medical instruments of germs efficiently, yet without damaging the material, has been developed and may also have applications for the aerospace industry. |
| Novel technology could combat flight pollution Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:06 AM PST A breakthrough propulsion technology to provide greener air transport could be developed after the underlying engineering was declared a success. |
| Transforming biochar into activated carbon Posted: 30 Jan 2015 09:16 AM PST It's about transforming corn stover, dried distillers grain solids and even native grasses into a product more than 1,000 times more valuable--graphene. A team of researchers is converting biochar into graphene which they hope can one day be used in place of expensive, activated carbon to coat the electrodes of supercapacitors. |

- Transforming biochar into activated carbon
| Biologists partner bacterium with nitrogen gas to produce more, cleaner bioethanol Posted: 02 Feb 2015 06:21 PM PST Biologists believe they have found a faster, cheaper and cleaner way to increase bioethanol production by using nitrogen gas, the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, in place of more costly industrial fertilizers. The discovery could save the industry millions of dollars and make cellulosic ethanol -- made from wood, grasses and inedible parts of plants -- more competitive with corn ethanol and gasoline. |
| Toward the next biofuel: Secrets of Fistulifera solaris Posted: 02 Feb 2015 11:11 AM PST Biofuels are an attractive alternative to fossil fuels, but a key challenge in efforts to develop carbon-neutral, large-scale methods to produce biofuels is finding the right organism for the job. One emerging candidate is the microalga Fistulifera solaris. An international collaboration of scientists has revealed the genome of F. solaris and provided exciting hints at the roots of its ability to grow and produce oil at the same time. |
