Tech: The single-layer surface of nanostructures can be incorporated into commercial optical systems, from...
Today's optical systems -- from smartphone cameras to cutting-edge microscopes -- use technology that hasn't changed much since the mid-1700s. Compound lenses, invented...
Tech: Electrons go with the flow — (Report)
You turn on a switch and the light switches on because electricity 'flows'. The usual perception is that this is like opening a...
Tech: Looking at molecules from two sides with table-top femtosecond soft-X-rays — (Report)
X-ray spectroscopy provides direct access into the nature of chemical bonds, from which the outcome of chemical reactions can be understood. For this,...
Tech: Technique allowed continuous study of cobalt nanoparticles as they grew — (Report)
High-energy X-ray beams and a clever experimental setup allowed researchers to watch a high-pressure, high-temperature chemical reaction to determine for the first time...
Tech: New protein sequencing method could transform biological research — (Report)
A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin has demonstrated a new way to sequence proteins that is much more...
Tech: Supercomputers without waste heat — (Report)
Generally speaking, magnetism and the lossless flow of electrical current ("superconductivity") are competing phenomena that cannot coexist in the same sample. However, for...
Tech: Advancing the description of ‘mysterious’ water to improve drug design — (Report)
Interactions with water dominate how drug molecules bind to targets, but it's tricky to model these interactions, limiting the accuracy of drug design....
Tech: New ways to harness wasted methane — (Report)
The primary component of natural gas, methane, is itself a potent greenhouse gas. A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a high...
Tech: Measurement of semiconductor material quality is now 100,000 times more sensitive — ...
The enhanced power of the new measuring technique to characterize materials at scales much smaller than any current technologies will accelerate the discovery...
Tech: Oil biodegradation inhibited in deep-sea sediments — (Report)
Degradation rates of oil were slower in the dark and cold waters of the depths of the Gulf of Mexico than at surface...
