Like Water for Batteries: Water 'Likeability' Plays Role in Battery-Charged Objects
July 29, 2013 — Objects made from graphite -- such as lithium-ion batteries -- are "hydrophobic," meaning that they "dislike" water. For decades this lack of likeability has presented significant challenges in terms ... > full story -
Novel Material for Cooling of Electronic Devices Discovered
July 29, 2013 — As microelectronic devices become smaller, faster and more powerful, thermal management becomes a critical challenge. This research provides new insight into the nature of thermal transport at a ... > full story -
Cells Move as Concentration Shifts
July 29, 2013 — Sheets of biological cells move along the organs they cover by altering the external concentrations of specific molecules. What do wound healing, cancer metastasis, and bacteria colonies have in ... > full story -
New Coating May Help Joint Replacements Bond Better With Bone
July 29, 2013 — Researchers have found that bone cells grow and reproduce faster on a textured surface than they do on a smooth one —- and they grow best when they can cling to a microscopic shag carpet made ... > full story -
New Understanding of Actin Filament Growth in Cells
July 29, 2013 — Biochemists have determined how tiny synthetic molecules disrupt an important actin-related molecular machine in cells in one study and, in a second one, the crystal structure of that machine when ... > full story -
Seemingly Competitive Co-Catalysts Cooperate to Accelerate Chemical Reaction
July 29, 2013 — Chemists report that a new and counterintuitive strategy, inspired by computational studies, opened the door to the development of a substantially more efficient chemical reaction from a highly ... > full story -

Virus to Control Potato Moth
July 29, 2013 — New biological insecticides have emerged in recent years which make use of so-called "entomopathogenic" viruses that are harmful to insects, in particular the baculovirus. To identify the virus in ... > full story -
Breakthrough in Detecting DNA Mutations Could Help Treat Tuberculosis, Cancer
July 28, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new method that can look at a specific segment of DNA and pinpoint a single mutation, which could help diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer and ... > full story -
Potential Well Water Contaminants Highest Near Natural Gas Drilling
July 26, 2013 — Researchers tested 100 samples from water wells in and near the Barnett Shale natural gas drilling area and found elevated levels of potential contaminants such as arsenic closest to active gas ... > full story -
Scientists ID Compounds That Target Amyloid Fibrils in Alzheimer's, Other Brain Diseases
July 26, 2013 — Scientists report an advance toward "structure-based drug design," with the potential to delay or treat Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type II diabetes, ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's ... > full story
