Material may help autos turn heat into electricityResearchers have invented a new material that will make cars even more efficient, by converting heat wasted through engine exhaust into electricity. In the current issue of the journal Science, they describe a material ... |
 Electron microscopy enters the picometer scaleJülich scientists have succeeded in precisely measuring atomic spacings down to a few picometres using new methods in ultrahigh-resolution electron microscopy. This makes it possible to find out decisive parameters ... |
Tech awards go to plane de-icing goo, headlights(AP) -- Camera flashcubes of the 1960s, high-definition TVs and the Nicoderm quit-smoking patch have at least one thing in common: Each found a place over the years on R&D Magazine's annual list of the 100 most technologically ... |
 Graphics processing installation to boost Argonne's Blue Gene/P visualization capabilities(PhysOrg.com) -- The IBM Blue Gene/P Intrepid at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), located at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, will soon have the data analytics ... |
Exotic materials using neptunium, plutonium provide insight into superconductivityPhysicists at Rutgers and Columbia universities have gained new insight into the origins of superconductivity – a property of metals where electrical resistance vanishes – by studying exotic chemical compounds that contain ... |
 Quantum Rod System May Safely 'Sneak' Drugs, Diagnostics into Brain(PhysOrg.com) -- A unique nanoparticle system developed by University at Buffalo scientists takes advantage of the versatility of bioconjugated quantum rods to ferry novel diagnostic and therapeutic agents ... |
Video-game news: Metallica's 'Guitar Hero' albumJul 15, 2008 | pda version
(AP) -- Real news from the virtual world: - RIDE THE LIGHTNING: Activision's "Guitar Hero World Tour" is one of this year's most eagerly anticipated games, but the company has big news for fans who can't wait for that: Metallica ... |
 Getting many quantum states from one experimental setup(PhysOrg.com) -- “In the traditional approach to entanglement with linear optics, one designs a new setup for each single state that you want,” Witlef Wieczorek tells PhysOrg.com. “What we’ve done is ... |
 Physicists tweak quantum force, reducing barrier to tiny devicesCymbals don't clash of their own accord – in our world, anyway. But the quantum world is bizarrely different. Two metal plates, placed almost infinitesimally close together, spontaneously attract each other. |
Improving Quantum Dot SynthesisMaterials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble quantum dots for biomedical applications. By using a laboratory ... |
 Research helps understand factors that influence efficiency of organic-based devicesOrganic-based devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, require a transparent conductive layer with a high work function, meaning it promotes injection of electron holes into an organic layer to produce ... |
 Visualizing atomic-scale acoustic wavesin nanostructuresAcoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be ... |
 Qubits and Branes Share Surprising FeaturesWhat do black holes and entangled particles have in common? Until about a year ago, physicists thought that the two entities existed in completely separate worlds. Then, in 2007, physicist Michael Duff from ... |
Study shows quantum dots can penetrate skin through minor abrasionsResearchers at North Carolina State University have found that quantum dot nanoparticles can penetrate the skin if there is an abrasion, providing insight into potential workplace concerns for healthcare workers or individuals ... |
 New paper offers insights into 'blinking' phenomenaA new paper by a team of researchers led by University of Notre Dame physicist Bolizsár Jankó provides an overview of research into one of the few remaining unsolved problems of quantum mechanics. |
