Space industry: Does 3-D printing have the right stuff?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 10:33 AM PDT

3D-printed parts promise a revolution in the space industry, rapidly creating almost any object needed. But do the results really have the right stuff for flying in space? The European Space Agency is now checking if their surface finish comes up to scratch.

Spintronic technologies: Advanced light source provides new look at skyrmions

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 10:25 AM PDT

Researchers for the first time have used x-rays to observe and study skyrmions, subatomic quasiparticles that could play a key role in future spintronic technologies.

Mathematical models explain how a wrinkle becomes a crease

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 10:25 AM PDT

Wrinkles, creases and folds are everywhere in nature, from the surface of human skin to the buckled crust of the Earth. They can also be useful structures for engineers. Wrinkles in thin films, for example, can help make durable circuit boards for flexible electronics. A new mathematical model developed by researchers from Brown University could help engineers control the formation of wrinkle, crease, and fold structures in a wide variety of materials. It may also help scientists understand how these structures form in nature.

Metal particles in solids aren't as fixed as they seem, new memristor study shows

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 11:23 AM PDT

In work that unmasks some of the magic behind memristors and 'resistive random access memory,' or RRAM -- cutting-edge computer components that combine logic and memory functions -- researchers have shown that the metal particles in memristors don't stay put as previously thought.
