A doctoral student at the research center Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany) suggests interpreting the images generated by Kelvin probe force microscopy in a new way. She recently published her insights in the journal Physical Review B. http://www.physorg.com/news172307152.html Nanotechnology Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:06:33 EST news172307152 A Queen's University Belfast academic is working on research that could help protect the lives of military based in Afghanistan. http://www.physorg.com/news168096991.html Chemistry Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:37:11 EST news168096991 New research by a team of scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) offers new insight into the San Andreas Fault as it extends beneath Southern California's Salton Sea. The team discovered a series of prominent faults beneath the sea, which transfer motion away from the San Andreas Fault as it disappears beneath the Salton Sea. The study provides new understanding of the intricate earthquake faults system beneath the sea and what role it may play in the earthquake cycle along the southern San Andreas Fault. http://www.physorg.com/news167923440.html Space & Earth Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:40:01 EST news167923440 To stretch a supply of salt generally means using it sparingly. http://www.physorg.com/news165054350.html Nanotechnology Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:26:36 EST news165054350 (PhysOrg.com) -- Studying satellite radar data from ESA's Envisat and the Italian Space Agency's COSMO-SkyMed, scientists have begun analysing the movement of Earth during and after the 6.3 earthquake that shook the medieval town of L'Aquila in central Italy on 6 April 2009. http://www.physorg.com/news159015099.html Space & Earth Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:52:41 EST news159015099 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the University of Surrey`s Advanced Technology Institute (UK) have used scanning tunnelling microscopy to confirm remarkable changes in the fundamental electronic behaviour when double-walled carbon nanotubes are subject to radial deformations and torsional strain. http://www.physorg.com/news140793552.html Nanotechnology Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:19:12 EST news140793552
