Vibrations in nanostructures offer applications in molecular-scale biological sensing and ultrasensitive mass detection. To approach single-atom sensing, it is necessary to reduce the dimensions of the structures to the nanometer scale while preserving long-lived vibrations. http://www.physorg.com/news177870451.html Nanotechnology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:28:18 EST news177870451 (PhysOrg.com) -- By taking advantage of the vagaries of the natural world, Duke University engineers have developed a novel approach that they believe can more efficiently harvest electricity from the motions of everyday life. http://www.physorg.com/news175966447.html Physics Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:35:22 EST news175966447 (PhysOrg.com) -- The drywood termite, Cryptotermes secundus, eavesdrops on its more aggressive subterranean competitor, Coptotermes acinaciformis, to avoid contact with it, according to scientists from CSIRO Entomology and the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy. http://www.physorg.com/news170519005.html Biology Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:20:02 EST news170519005 By studying gold nanoparticles with highly uniform sizes and shapes, scientists now understand how they lose energy, a key step towards producing nanoscale detectors for weighing any single atom. http://www.physorg.com/news167912822.html Nanotechnology Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:27:29 EST news167912822 Using devices millionths of a meter in size, physicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a technique to determine the mass of a single molecule, in real time. http://www.physorg.com/news167490673.html Nanotechnology Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:11:57 EST news167490673 (PhysOrg.com) -- University of Maryland electrical and computer engineering professor Bruce Jacob pried open his new electric guitar and wondered why he couldn't get more sounds out of it. http://www.physorg.com/news166200541.html Technology Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:49:37 EST news166200541 (PhysOrg.com) -- Özlem Durmaz Incel, researcher at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, has developed a spectacular new method that enables wireless sensor networks to function up to ten times more efficiently. Networks based on this revolutionary method can be used for an extremely wide range of applications. They can, for example, be used for the surveillance of bridges, ports and distribution centres. They can also greatly increase efficiency in transport and logistics, for example in large ports. http://www.physorg.com/news160061305.html Technology Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:29:10 EST news160061305 (PhysOrg.com) -- Conga lines of atoms wend their way through a crystal, their numbers growing as more and more atoms join the migration. The worm-like lines of atoms randomly converge, forming tangles that evolve into droplets of liquid that signal the beginning of the complicated process known as melting. http://www.physorg.com/news152814434.html Physics Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:28:02 EST news152814434 A new study by Oregon State University researchers shows that whole body vibration slows the acquisition of fat, and may also positively impact bone density. http://www.physorg.com/news138898791.html Medicine & Health Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:59:51 EST news138898791
