Prediction of intrinsic magnetism at silicon surfaces could lead to single-spin magnetoelectronics
Friday, 27 August 2010 11:00
The integration of single-spin magnetoelectronics into standard silicon technology may soon be possible, if experiments confirm a new theoretical prediction made by physicists.

 
'Greening' your flat screen TV: Engineers develop an organic LED light source for home electronics, medicine and clean energy
Friday, 27 August 2010 02:00
An estimated 70 percent of heavy metals in US landfills come from discarded electronics, and as big screen TVs get less expensive, environmental costs continue to mount. To remedy this, researchers are applying organic nano-technology to "green" the optics and electronics industry. Their technology could make flat screen TV production more environmentally friendly and can even make medical devices more sensitive.

 
Tofu ingredient yields formaldehyde-free glue for plywood and other wood products
Thursday, 26 August 2010 17:00
In a real-life "back to the future" story, scientists have reported that the sustainable, environmentally-friendly process that gave birth to plywood a century ago is re-emerging as a "green" alternative to wood adhesives made from petroleum. Researchers have described development of new soy-based glues that use a substance in soy milk and tofu and could mean a new generation of more eco-friendly furniture, cabinets, flooring and other wood products.

 
'Dry water' could make a big splash commercially, help fight global warming
Thursday, 26 August 2010 14:00
An unusual substance known as "dry water," which resembles powdered sugar, could provide a new way to absorb and store carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, scientists report.

 
Cement, the glue that holds oyster families together
Thursday, 26 August 2010 14:00
Researchers have shown that oysters produce a unique adhesive material for affixing themselves to each other, a cement that differs from the glues used by other marine organisms.

 
Trouble with sputter? Blame giant nanoparticles
Thursday, 26 August 2010 08:00
Sputter deposition is used to make many products from the lining of potato chip bags to the coatings on advanced X-ray lenses. But, for decades, scientists and manufacturers have been unable to explain why these thin films sometimes peel, bend or get too rough. Now researchers have an answer: unexpected nanoparticles that form in the flux.

 
Stretched polymer snaps back smaller than it started
Thursday, 26 August 2010 00:00
Crazy bands are cool because no matter how long they've been stretched around a kid's wrist, they always return to their original shape, be it a lion or a kangaroo. Now chemists have found a polymer molecule that's so springy it snaps back from stretching much smaller than it was before.

 
Secrets of the gecko foot help robot climb
Thursday, 26 August 2010 00:00
The science behind gecko toes holds the answer to a dry adhesive that provides an ideal grip for robot feet. Stanford mechanical engineer Mark Cutkosky is using the new material, based on the structure of a gecko foot, to keep his robots climbing.

 
Medicine reaches the target with the help of magnets
Thursday, 26 August 2010 00:00
If a drug can be guided to the right place in the body, the treatment is more effective and there are fewer side-effects. Researchers in Sweden have now developed magnetic nanoparticles that can be directed to metallic implants such as artificial knee joints, hip joints and stents in the coronary arteries.

 
Microneedle, quantum dot study opens door to new clinical cancer tools
Wednesday, 25 August 2010 17:00
Researchers have developed extremely small microneedles that can be used to deliver medically-relevant nanoscale dyes called quantum dots into skin -- an advance that opens the door to new techniques for diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions, including skin cancer.
