| Space weather: Explosions on Venus Posted: 05 Mar 2012 02:37 PM PST A recent study has found clear evidence on Venus for a type of space weather outburst quite common at Earth, called a hot flow anomaly.  |
| Smart, self-healing hydrogels open far-reaching possibilities in medicine, engineering Posted: 05 Mar 2012 01:06 PM PST Bioengineers have developed a self-healing hydrogel that binds in seconds, as easily as Velcro, and forms a bond strong enough to withstand repeated stretching. The material has numerous potential applications, including medical sutures, targeted drug delivery, industrial sealants and self-healing plastics.  |
| Advancing understanding of energy storage mechanisms Posted: 05 Mar 2012 12:07 PM PST Materials researchers have given the engineering world a better look at the inner functions of the electrodes of supercapacitors -- the low-cost, lightweight energy storage devices used in many electronics, transportation and many other applications.  |
| New nanoglue is thin and supersticky Posted: 05 Mar 2012 12:06 PM PST Engineers have invented a superthin "nanoglue" that could be used in new-generation microchip fabrication.  |
| Spider silk conducts heat as well as metals Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:26 AM PST Researchers have discovered that spider silk is surprisingly good at transferring heat. Spider silk, in fact, conducts heat as well or better than most metals.  |
| Nanomaterials: A coating protocol Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:20 AM PST A robust approach for preparing polymer-coated quantum dots may find use in a wide range of applications.  |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:18 AM PST A theoretical model for the unusual occurrence of magnetism in organic molecules may help develop this class of material for electronics applications.  |
| Evolving planets get a bumpy ride Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:17 AM PST The formation of planets occurs under constant bombardment from particles ranging from a few nanometers to tens of kilometers in size, according to recent analyses of asteroid samples by scientists. The study is the first reported analysis of grains taken directly from a solar body in space.  |
| X-rays reveal how soil bacteria carry out surprising chemistry Posted: 05 Mar 2012 05:12 AM PST Researchers have discovered how soil bacteria carry out surprising chemistry, defying a longstanding set of chemical rules and thus paving the way for new synthesis of polyether drugs.  |
| New direction for game controllers: Prototypes tug at thumb tips to enhance video gaming Posted: 05 Mar 2012 05:11 AM PST University of Utah engineers designed a new kind of video game controller that not only vibrates like existing devices, but pulls and stretches the thumb tips in different directions to simulate the tug of a fishing line, the recoil of a gun or the feeling of ocean waves.  |
