| New method to determine surface properties at the nanoscale Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:25 AM PST As machines get smaller, knowing characteristics can make huge engineering differences. Engineers have now developed a method for characterizing the surface properties of materials at different temperatures at the nanoscale.  |
| Physicists create new kind of pasta to explain mysterious, ring-shaped polymers Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:34 AM PST Physicists have taken to the kitchen to explain the complexity surrounding what they say is one of the last big mysteries in polymer physics.  |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2014 07:03 AM PST Scientists have use dmicrobullets in experiments to show graphene is 10 times better than steel at absorbing the energy of a penetrating projectile. Graphene's great strength appears to be determined by how well it stretches before it breaks, according to scientists who tested the material's properties by peppering it with microbullets.  |
| Longer and more accurate shelf-life with 'Smart' packaging material technologies Posted: 01 Dec 2014 06:00 AM PST Companies in an A*STAR IMRE-led industry consortium will have access to new active packaging that protects perishables with a layered plastic that is not only extremely effective at keeping out oxygen and moisture, but extends the shelf-life of food by absorbing oxygen that may be present in packaging.  |
| Wireless electronic implants stop staph, then dissolve Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:25 PM PST A resorbable electronic implant that eliminated bacterial infection in mice by delivering heat to infected tissue when triggered by a remote wireless signal, researchers have reported for the first time. The silk and magnesium devices then harmlessly dissolved. This is an important step forward for future development of on-demand medical devices that can be turned on remotely to perform a therapeutic function, such as managing post-surgical infection, and then degrade in the body.  |
