 Researchers identify photosynthetic dimmer switchIn a study of the molecular mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from oxidation damage should they absorb too much sunlight during photosynthesis, a team of researchers has discovered a molecular ... |
 Iron 'snow' helps maintain Mercury's magnetic field, scientists sayNew scientific evidence suggests that deep inside the planet Mercury, iron “snow” forms and falls toward the center of the planet, much like snowflakes form in Earth’s atmosphere and fall to the ground. |
 A 'squeeze' in cuprates may explain superconducting temperaturesNew experiments at Cornell have verified a theory that variations in the distance between atoms in cuprate superconductors account for differences in the temperature at which the material begins to superconduct. ... |
Physicist confines plasma components in a trap within a trapA University of Michigan professor has taken a step toward simulating a type of matter found in the crusts of neutron stars, in the cores of gas giant planets, and in exotic plasmas thought to be present in the earliest universe. |
 Creating Highly Sought Magnetic Nanoparticles in One StepResearchers from the University of Minnesota have demonstrated a one-step technique for producing a class of magnetic nanoparticles that could be used in everything from biomedical applications to data storage. ... |
Nano-designed transistors with disordered materials, but high performanceThe Holy Grail for transistor designers has been the requirement to be able to get high performance at reduced costs over very large substrate areas. Transistors on cheap and flexible substrates like glass and plastics are ... |
Updated version of GAIM model goes operationalMay 02, 2008 | pda version
An updated version of the Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM) model went operational at the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) on February 22, 2008. The operational GAIM program has been under development ... |
 Spiraling nanotrees offer new twist on growth of nanowiresSince scientists first learned to make nanowires, the nano-sized wires just a few millionths of a centimeter thick have taken many forms, including nanobelts, nanocoils and nanoflowers. |
 '4-D' ionosphere map helps flyers, soldiers, ham radio operatorsToday, at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colo., NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new “4D” live model of Earth’s ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the ... |
USC School of Dentistry researchers uncover link between osteoporosis drugs and jaw infectionA group of University of Southern California School of Dentistry researchers says it has identified the slimy culprits killing the jawbones of some people taking drugs that treat osteoporosis. |
 High-Flying Electrons May Provide New Test of Quantum TheoryResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Max Planck Institute for Physics in Germany believe they can achieve a significant increase in the accuracy of one of the fundamental constants ... |
Copper nanowires grown by new process create long-lasting displaysA new low-temperature, catalyst-free technique for growing copper nanowires has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. The copper nanowires could serve as interconnects in electronic device fabrication ... |
 'Sticky nanotubes' hold key to future technologiesResearchers at Purdue University are the first to precisely measure the forces required to peel tiny nanotubes off of other materials, opening up the possibility of creating standards for nano-manufacturing ... |
Are nanobots on their way?[The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from ... |
 Scientists discover exotic quantum state of matterA team of scientists from Princeton University has found that one of the most intriguing phenomena in condensed-matter physics -- known as the quantum Hall effect -- can occur in nature in a way that no one ... |
