| Supercomputer tackles grid challenges Posted: 01 Jul 2014 11:28 AM PDT 'Big data' is playing an increasingly big role in the renewable energy industry and the transformation of the nation's electrical grid.  |
| Smartphone app may revolutionize mental health treatment Posted: 01 Jul 2014 11:28 AM PDT A new technology is poised to transform the way in which patients with mental illnesses are monitored and treated by clinicians. Their new smartphone-based system detects changes in patients' behavioral patterns, and then transmits them to professionals in real time. It has the potential to greatly improve the response time and efficacy of clinical psychiatrists.  |
| Computing paths to asteroids helps find future exploration opportunities Posted: 01 Jul 2014 06:35 AM PDT As left over building blocks of the solar system's formation, asteroids are of significant interest to scientists. Resources, especially water, embedded within asteroids could be of use to astronauts traveling through deep space. Likewise, asteroids could continue to be destinations for robotic and human missions as NASA pioneers deeper into the solar system, to Mars and beyond.  |
| Weave a cell phone into your shirt? Engineers envision an electronic switch just three atoms thick Posted: 01 Jul 2014 06:20 AM PDT Researchers believe they've discovered a crystal that can form a monolayer three atoms thick. Computer simulations show that this crystal, molybdenum ditelluride, can act like a switch: its crystal lattice can be mechanically pulled and pushed, back and forth, between two different atomic structures -- one that conducts electricity well, the other that does not. The team hopes experimental scientists will make this semiconductor crystal and use it to fashion flexible electronics.  |
| Biology labs: Managing the data jungle Posted: 01 Jul 2014 05:54 AM PDT Many biology labs fight with a glut of measurement data. New software aims to make this a thing of the past: it simplifies laboratory experiment evaluation and unifies how data is saved. It even identifies measurement errors on the spot.  |
