| Clay key to high-temperature supercapacitors Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:42 PM PDT Clay, an abundant and cheap natural material, is a key ingredient in a supercapacitor that can operate at very high temperatures, according to researchers who have developed such a device.  |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:41 PM PDT Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking technique in manufacturing nanostructures that has the potential to make electrical and optical devices smaller and better than ever before. A surprising low-tech tool of Scotch Magic tape ended up being one of the keys to the discovery.  |
| Massive storm pulls water and ammonia ices from Saturn's depths Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:36 PM PDT Once every 30 years or so, or roughly one Saturnian year, a monster storm rips across the northern hemisphere of the ringed planet. In 2010, the most recent and only the sixth giant storm on Saturn observed by humans began stirring. It quickly grew to superstorm proportions, reaching 15,000 kilometers (more than 9,300 miles) in width and visible to amateur astronomers on Earth as a great white spot dancing across the surface of the planet.  |
| 'We may be able to watch dark energy turn on': Unprecedented sky survey Posted: 03 Sep 2013 12:17 PM PDT Moonless nights outside the Cerro Tololo astronomical observatory in Chile are so dark that when you look down, you can't see your feet. "You can't see your hands," said a physicist. "But you can hold them up to the sky and see a hand-shaped hole with no stars in it. It's really incredible."  |
| Computer model will help design flexible touchscreens Posted: 03 Sep 2013 11:13 AM PDT New research has shown a new a way to design transparent conductors using metal nanowires that could enable less expensive -- and flexible -- touchscreens.  |
| Robotic surgery complications underreported Posted: 03 Sep 2013 11:12 AM PDT Despite widespread adoption by hospitals of surgical robot technology over the past decade, a "slapdash" system of reporting complications paints an unclear picture of its safety.  |
| Atom-based analogues to electronic devices Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:34 AM PDT Scientists have pushed back the boundaries of atom-based transport, creating a current by characterizing the many-body effects in the transport of the atoms along a periodic lattice. Scientists adopted a new analytical approach before comparing it to approximate numerical simulations.  |
| Making plants' inner qualities visible Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:31 AM PDT Not only psychologists would be happy to be able to look inside their patients' heads – a plant's "inner qualities" also supply plant researchers with valuable information. A special camera analyzes the constituents of grapevines, corn and other plants.  |
| New evidence to aid search for charge 'stripes' in superconductors Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:30 AM PDT Scientists have used an indirect method to detect fluctuating "stripes" of charge density in a material closely related to a superconductor. The research identifies a key signature to look for in superconductors as scientists seek ways to better understand and engineer these materials for future energy-saving applications.  |
| IT monitoring effective in deterring fraud by restaurant employees Posted: 03 Sep 2013 09:30 AM PDT For many firms, losing significant revenue and profit to employee theft has been a cost of doing business. But a new study finds that information technology monitoring is strikingly effective in reducing theft and fraud, especially in the restaurant industry.  |
| Solar cell performance improves with ion-conducting polymer Posted: 03 Sep 2013 08:30 AM PDT Researchers have found a way to make dye-sensitized solar cells more energy-efficient and longer-lasting.  |
| Soccer matches and concerts from any angle you choose Posted: 03 Sep 2013 08:30 AM PDT In future, soccer and music fans will be able to choose the camera angle when watching live matches and concerts on TV, or even enjoy a 360-degree view of proceedings: all thanks to a new panorama camera that is small, robust, and easy to operate.  |
| Canine remote control, using your smart phone? Hands-free dog walking for the digital age Posted: 03 Sep 2013 07:20 AM PDT That "best friend" can get a bit tiresome, all that rolling over, shaking paws, long walks and eating every crumb of food off the floor. But, what if there were a way to command your dog with a remote control, or even via your smart phone...or even without hands?  |
| New system for quantum simulation proposed Posted: 03 Sep 2013 07:18 AM PDT Researchers have proposed a new platform for quantum simulation. They show that a combined system of ultracold trapped ions and fermionic atoms could be used to emulate solid state physics. This system may outperform possibilities of existing platforms as a number of phenomena found in solid state systems are naturally included, such as the fermionic statistics of the electrons and the electron-sound wave interactions.  |
