| Researchers move closer to new range of biosensors Posted: 20 Dec 2014 08:43 PM PST Researchers have found a way of binding peptides to the surface of gallium nitride in a way that keeps the peptides stable even when exposed to water and radiation. The discovery moves researchers one step closer to developing a new range of biosensors for use in medical and biological research applications.       |
| Quantum world without queues could lead to better solar cells Posted: 19 Dec 2014 07:40 AM PST Scientists have used new technology to study extremely fast processes in solar cells. The research results form a concrete step towards more efficient solar cells.  |
| Creation of 'rocker' protein opens way for new smart molecules in medicine, other fields Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST Human cells are protected by a largely impenetrable molecular membrane, but researchers have built the first artificial transporter protein that carries individual atoms across membranes, opening the possibility of engineering a new class of smart molecules with applications in fields as wide ranging as nanotechnology and medicine.  |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST A new mapping tool makes preparing for natural disasters and responding to their aftermath easier than ever. Researchers have developed a computer model that analyzes networks of interconnected roads to predict the speediest routes for rescuers to take using real-time data uploaded by aid workers on the ground.  |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST A new catalyst could have dramatic environmental benefits if it can live up to its potential, suggests research from Singapore. Researchers have produced a catalyst with gold-nanoparticle antennas that can improve water quality in daylight and also generate hydrogen as a green energy source.  |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST A method for analyzing the financial benefits of incorporating the recycling and reuse of materials in manufacturing processes is expected to encourage more companies to adopt environmentally friendly production practices.  |
| A weld of difference: Higher welding speed improves the quality of welds between dissimilar alloys Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:01 AM PST Simple changes in technique can yield big improvements, say researchers investigating how welding speed and the placement of materials affect the quality of welds between dissimilar alloys. They discovered that the tensile strength increases with increasing welding speed and becomes even higher when the softer alloy is placed on the advancing side of the weld.  |
| Tackling neurotransmission precision Posted: 18 Dec 2014 10:14 AM PST A new way to measure the distance from voltage-gated channels to vesicles has been developed by one expert, who, in a new article, explains how this distance affects neural signaling precision and efficacy.  |
| Tailor-made for the aquaculture sector Posted: 18 Dec 2014 07:31 AM PST Fish husbandry workers have played an active part in developing work clothing tailor-made for their wet, windy and messy working conditions. They're standing in a small circle around a net pen out in the ocean. Their job is to maintain the net pens, de-louse the salmon, and carry out the many other tasks essential to the running of a fish farm facility. The wind is bitter and the rain is lashing in from all directions. Sea water is splashing around their feet. Everything they handle is wet. Cold water creeps relentlessly up to their knees and along to their elbows inside their coveralls, which are only waterproof up until the second wash.  |
